Truck Comprising a Neck Mount Coupling Arrangement

Abstract

A truck comprising a chassis and a frame for suspending an elongate pressure vessel in a substantially upright orientation behind a cabin of the truck. The frame comprises an upper neck mount that is mounted to an upper axial end of the elongated pressure vessel, a strut that extends upward from a top side of the chassis, and a bracket that connects the upper neck mount to the strut. The upper neck mount is fixated to the bracket by a coupling arrangement. The coupling arrangement is slidable with respect to the bracket for allowing a lateral movement of the upper neck mount towards the strut over a sliding path while maintaining the mechanical connection in case of a lateral impact on the elongated pressure vessel, to protect the upper axial end against overloads.
