I’ve always wondered what sort of structure transfers a lowered-floor bus’s weight to the (front) wheels?
There’s a lot of weight riding on those wheels, and not much space in that wheel well for bracing or anything to keep the wheel from splaying out.
And unfortunately, a web search turns up nothing but bus dealers, repair shops, bus accessories, and news reports of transit agencies switching to this style of bus.
Thanks for the tip. Those images do explain quite a bit, but it looks like most of them attach at the top, which leads back to the question of how support is transferred to the frame which has to sit 2-3 feet below the the center-point of the wheel.
