A vehicle apparatus comprises a frame with the axles attached to the frame
such that the
vertical distance between the axles and frame is constant, and the vehicle
body is attached
to the frame through a plurality of suspension units. The axles, attached
wheels, .and
frame thus move up and down together, and the movement of the frame is
essentially an
average of the movement up and down of all the axles supporting the frame.
Thus each
axle does not exert an independent force on the vehicle body, and variations
in forces
experienced by the vehicle body are reduced. Wheels can be distributed across
the width
of the vehicle apparatus thereby distributing a vehicle weight across the
width of the road
surface. Outside wheels can be mounted on axle arms that pivot about a
vertical axis,
such that they can be pivoted out of the way to allow access to inside wheels
for
maintenance.
