ABSTRACT:
A cab suspension for a vehicle having a chassis supporting the cab, the cab being pivotally attached to the chassis at forward first and second spaced-apart, transversely aligned locations, and a rearward third attachment including a lever coupled to one of the cab and chassis at a first position along the lever and to the other of said cab and chassis at a second position along the lever. A spring and hydraulic damper act between the lever and the chassis to apply through the lever resilient force directed against the weight of cab, whereby the cab can oscillate vertically about a forward transverse axis and be rearwardly resiliently supported by said lever. In one embodiment, the spring and hydraulic damper are a pressurized cylinder for adjusting the height of the cab.
