Abstract
A tank truck having a cylindrical tank resiliently supported on a bed frame of rectangular configuration and disposed above the main frame of the truck with the tank being disposed partially within the horizontal plane of the bed frame and having the bed frame resiliently supported on the main frame of the truck. A pair of saddle-shaped plates conforming to the outside of the cylindrical tank are secured thereto, one close to each end of the tank, and a pair of upper tank hold down brackets are secured to each saddle plate and in turn are resiliently bolted to corresponding lower tank hold down brackets which are rigidly secured to the bed frame. The brackets secured to the bed frame are in turn bolted to corresponding brackets on the main truck frame with resilient members placed between the bed frame and the truck frame to absorb shock. The resilient couplings not only absorb shock, but permit slight cushioning movement between the tank, bed frame and main frame during normal operating conditions on the roadway.
