ABSTRACT:
An axle assembly and configuration of axle assemblies for a mobile vehicle. The axle assembly includes a fixed axle fastened to the frame of the vehicle so that the axle maintains a fixed orientation with respect to the vehicle frame. A steerable spindle is connected to each end of the axle by a vertical king pin. The axle is straight beam, king pin to king pin, with the king pins lying on the longitudinal axis of the axle, thus eliminating caster. The configuration of axle assemblies includes a fixed axle with fixed wheels and a fixed axle with steerable wheels. The axles are straight beam, king pin to king pin, with the king pins lying on the longitudinal axes of the axles. The axles are separated by a distance of at least about ten feet.
