A truck (10) is provided including an engine (12), a cabin, and a conditioned spaced (14) defined by a plurality of adjacent wall members including a front wall member (16). A transport refrigeration unit is configured to control a temperature within the conditioned space include an evaporator unit (20) and a condenser unit (22). The evaporator unit (20) is mounted within the conditioned space (14). The condenser unit (22) is operably coupled to the evaporator unit (20) and is mounted to an exterior surface (24) of the front wall member (16). The condenser unit (22) is configured to move slidably between an operating position and a clearance position.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a mechanical joint with five degrees of freedom. In certain embodiments, the mechanical joint includes first and second triangular linkages. The first triangular linkage includes a base end configured to hingedly couple to a first body to pivot relative to the first body and a vertex end that includes a first rotational member. The second triangular linkage includes a base end configured to hingedly couple to a second body to pivot relative to the second body and a vertex end that includes a second rotational member. The first rotational member and the second rotational member are rotationally coupled to form a all joint. With this joint, the second body is moveable in two translational degrees of freedom and restricted in one translational degree of freedom relative to the first body. Such a configuration allows vertical movement and/or reduces stress on the joint.

A forklift truck with a forward-tilting cab and a method for reducing the container-loading height of the forklift truck, include a cab and a frame, the cab being connected to the frame so as to be able to tilt forward; and also including a locating mechanism, which is removably provided between the cab and frame when the cab is tilted forward to reduce the cab height, so as to locate the cab when the cab is tilted forward to a preset angle. When loading into a container, the cab of the forklift truck is tilted forward to a preset angle, so that the overall height of the forklift truck is reduced to a height suitable for loading in a container, and the locating mechanism is used to locate the cab, so that the cab is kept in a state in which it is tilted forward to a preset angle.

A cab mounting including a chassis holder and a cab holder. The chassis holder includes a chassis plate having a central region, designed to be fastened to a chassis of a vehicle, a lower end region, designed to fasten a suspension element, and an upper end region having an opening, designed for connecting to an upper bearing plate. The cab holder includes a cab plate, designed for fastening to a vehicle cab, and an upper bearing plate, which is fastened to the cab plate and has a U-shaped structure, designed in order to be held movably in the opening of the chassis plate, such that the chassis holder and the cab holder are movable relative to each other. The chassis holder is formed in one piece such that impacting dirt is scraped off.
