ABSTRACT:
A vehicle includes a cab mounted on a frame capable of vibratory, beam-like bending about at least one nodal point. To minimize the fore and aft motion of the cab caused by the vibratory bending of the frame and by pitching of the vehicle, while reducing vertical motion of the cab, one portion of the cab is resiliently mounted on the frame at or near a nodal point. Preferably, the resilient mount includes at least one pneumatic spring. Another portion of the cab is secured to the frame by a pivotal support that transmits to the cab vibratory movement of the frame at the support.
