    摘要: A suspension arrangement is provided for an energy storage system of a vehicle comprising a frame. The suspension arrangement includes a set of first bracket portions, wherein the first bracket portions are spaced apart from each other and connectable to a first portion of the frame; a set of second bracket portions. Each second bracket portion is connected to a respective one of the first bracket portions by a first stretchable connector arrangement to form a first encircling portion configured to suspend a first gas tank. A set of third bracket portions is provided, wherein each third bracket portion is connected to a respective one of the first bracket portions by a second stretchable connector arrangement to form a second encircling portion configured to suspend a second gas tank, the set of third bracket portions being arranged on an opposite side of the set of first bracket portions compared to the position of the set of second bracket portions.

    摘要: A mounting system for a machine includes a tank support structure adapted to mount tanks proximate to an operator cabin of the machine, a first mounting bracket fixedly coupled to the tank support structure, and a second mounting bracket adapted to be removably coupled to the first mounting bracket. The tank support structure defines a hollow space. The tanks are received within the hollow space. The tank support structure includes a first surface and a second surface spaced apart from the first surface. The hollow space is defined between the first surface and the second surface. The first surface is configured to be coupled to a portion of the machine for mounting the tank support structure on the machine. The first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket are adapted to receive a section of the tanks for retaining the tanks within the tank support structure.
