The invention relates to a suspension assembly (10, 10a, 10b) for supporting a vibration sensitive device (1) in relation to a base (100). The suspension assembly (10, 10a, 10b) comprises: a support arrangement (20) comprising a support plate (21) and a damping support member (22). The support member (22) is configured to receive the vibration sensitive device (1) and the support plate (21) comprises a centre portion (23) and at least two side portions (24) extending with an inclination angle (α) outwardly from the centre portion (23), a base arrangement (30) comprising at least two inclined portions (34) extending essentially in parallel with the at least two side portions (24) of the support plate (21); and at least two wire rope isolators (40), each arranged between a side portion (24) of the support plate (21) and an inclined portion (34) of the base arrangement (30). The invention also relates to a suspension system (80), a vehicle (101), a use of such a suspension assembly (10, 10a, 10b) for supporting a weapon and damping vibrations during transportation.

A floor assembly includes a controller, a compressor, an airbag, and a floor. The controller is configured to provide one or more user controls to permit a user to operate the compressor and regulate pressure in the airbags. The floating floor is configured to isolate a carrying load from vibrational effects and trailer forces. The assembly is optionally removable from a trailer floor and may be inserted on a different trailer. A guide member is used to restrict movement of the floor on the airbags to only a vertical motion. The guide members may include a dampener.

A large animal hauling vehicle is provided that has a supplemental animal stability system. The supplemental support system offers protection or otherwise helps the large animal remain stable during driving situations that could lead to the animal's instability. These situations by may include abrupt movements of the hauling vehicle, such as pronounced or increasing trailer sway situations or crash events. The instability protection system may include a support system with at least one deployable device, such as an inflatable cushion(s) and a control system that evaluates operational conditions and commands deployment of the deployable device(s) upon a determination of an instability condition.

A mechanically actuated cargo restraint system for a vehicle includes a rotatable reel in a frame, first and second flexible tethers, and a mechanical device. The first flexible tether has a first end coupled to the rotatable reel and a second end capable of being coupled to a cargo item, the first flexible tether is windable around the rotatable reel. The mechanical device includes a pawl and cog that are movable with respect to each other, the pawl coupled to the rotatable reel for rotatable movement therewith. Movement of a cargo item attached to the first flexible tether that causes the first flexible tether to move in an unwinding direction on the rotatable reel causes movement of the pawl-containing member relative to the cog. Velocity in the unwinding direction such as that encountered during a crash or free-fall engages the pawl into the cog, thereby inhibiting movement of the first flexible tether in an unwinding direction on the rotatable reel.

This invention relates to an energy absorbing member (3) for a load carrying, load pulling, load pushing or load stopping assembly or the like, wherein said energy absorbing member (3) includes first and second attachment devices (30, 31) and a shaped body member (35) extending in a longitudinal direction (C) between said first and second attachment devices (30, 31) arranged to enable a predetermined relative elongation (ΔL) between said first and second attachment devices (30, 31) parallelly with said longitudinal direction (C) upon simultaneous absorption of energy reducing the risk of hazard in connection with sudden deceleration, wherein said absorbing member (3) includes a stabilizing control arrangement (36) that extends along said shaped body member (35) arranged to stabilize the said shaped body (35) in relation to forces not exceeding a first force level (F1) hindering relative movement between said attachment devices (30, 31) in at least one dimension.
