Fluid receiver

Abstract

The invention relates to a fluid receiver for attaching to a vehicle. The fluid receiver comprises a receiver body having side walls extending upwardly from a receiver floor. A wheel arch is formed within the receiver floor and comprises a reinforced mounting plate to which is attached a mounting system for attaching wheels to the fluid receiver. The receiver is, therefore, adapted to be attached directly to a wheel mounting system and suspension system without needing to be mounted to a chassis or sub-frame. As such, the receiver has a lower centre of gravity and higher static rollover threshold, resulting in increased stability, particularly when the receiver is attached to a vehicle negotiating rough terrain or slopes.
