摘要: A compact, trailing, auxiliary axle system is attached to a truck for carrying additional weight and distributing the of over greater number axles maximum total distance distribution those axles. The apparatus high, may be secured body truck, such as refuse reducing length extension from rear yet pivoting comparatively high position easy stowage above bubble or bulkhead protruding tailgate truck. Hydraulic actuation relies on pulling, during deployment, providing improved resistance buckling, protection road damage, with short coupling strength booms, hydraulics, cross members. Conduits carry control power through frame assembly, conventional suspension components used. “broken” design provides attachment systems, within legal regulatory limits, leverage against load presented by durable structures, straightforward manufacturing processes rapid alignment assembly. overall envelope only minimally affected body, operation transit, while operational clearances are respected in all directions respect body.
