Suspension arrangement for a container
DRIVE
September 12, 2001
A unilateral suspension arrangement for a fuel tank (3) on a side member (2) of a lorry is disclosed. The tank is mounted by means of a vertical U-section (1) on the side member (2). A channel-shaped element (13) is mounted on the tank, engaging a support section (14) on the side member. In order to prevent the tank against falling off during driving, the tank is provided with an angle bar (5) that engages a recess (6) on the vertical section (1). With this suspension arrangement is achieved an easy mounting and at the same time a large useful volume of the tank (3) as the suspension arrangement is only located at the side of the tank, thus not limiting the useful height available under a platform body or similar resting on the side member (2).
