The invention related to a process for suspending on a vehicle frame a driving cab which has two-point suspension. Assembly involves the cab being lowered towards the frame by means of a lifting device so that a contact device fitted to the cab is caused to rest on the portions of a supporting device which protrude on either side of a supporting unit mounted on the frame. This means that the cab lies in a stable manner against the frame and that the fastening apertures of the contact device and of the supporting device are placed centrally to one another. The lifting device can therefore be released and the contact device be secured to the fastening device, thereby fixing the contact device relative to the supporting device but leaving the supporting device freely rotatable in the supporting unit.

Method and device for suspension of a cab on a vehicle frame

A vehicle cab is resiliently suspended on a vehicle frame. Between the cab and the frame is arranged a device for limiting the mobility of the cab relative to the frame during operation and upon tilting of the cab. The device incorporates two stop surfaces fastened to the cab, and a movement limiter fastened to a stabilizer which is fastened to the frame. The movement limiter extends between the stop surfaces so that it shifts between them upon movement of the link arms. The cab's mobility is limited by the fact that contact occurs between the movement limiter and the stop surfaces.
