ABSTRACT:
A multi-axle road vehicle has an equalizing resilient suspension for equalizing the load over the axles of a multi-axle set. The suspension is itself carried on a suspension subframe that is in turn mounted on the vehicle to pivot about a transverse, horizontal axis. The use of a pivoting subframe provides for equal axle loading over a much wider range of road conditions. The suspension system is especially suited for application to the "B" train multiple vehicle configuration, where the common suspension will be mounted on a subframe pivoted to the lead vehicle and carrying a fifth wheel for the following vehicle.
