Abstract
A cab mount (25) for a vehicle (1) has a cab (5) separate from a vehicle frame (3). The cab is mounted so as to be levelable with respect to a vehicle standing surface by means of at least three adjustable actuators (7-13), and a levelness adjusted by the actuators is blockable at least when the vehicle is stationary. The cab mount has at least one stabilizer (27) for supporting roll movements of the cab during driving operation. The stabilizer has at least two switching steps with different spring rates, and the stabilizer has the higher of the at least two spring rates in stationary operation of the vehicle when the cab is leveled.
