IMPROVED suspension has been intro' duced for the Crane Fruehauf range of tandem axle semi-trailers. Known as the F suspension, it is based on a system used for a long period in the U.S.A.
Leaf springs are employed, these being slipper mounted in fabricated hanger brackets. Those on each side are con nected through a rocker beam, the hanger brackets in which these pivot being fabricated also and joined by a cross tube. Axle location is by radius rods, those on one side being adjustable, and conical rubber bushes in the equalisers and all radius rod ends do away with the need for lubrication.
