ABSTRACT:
Suspension apparatus for a mobile vehicle having a frame and a plurality of wheel units adapted to travel on rails. In a preferred form, the apparatus includes a housing member that is rigidly attached to the frame and corresponds to a wheel unit. The housing member has an enclosed end and a downwardly-extending open end. The apparatus further includes a wheel unit support assembly, a portion of which is telescopingly received within the housing member. The wheel unit support assembly is adapted for attachment to a wheel unit and is biased out of the housing member by a spring. A travel-limiting pin arrangement is provided to limit the axial travel of the wheel unit support assembly relative to the housing member to a predetermined range of axial travel.
