VEHICLE HAVING IMPROVED COUPLING SYSTEM AND SYSTEM FOR ABSORPTION OF SHOCK ON COUPLING Inventor: Eugene B. White, Jr. ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A self-propelled vehicle for moving railroad cars and the like. The vehicle may have weight transfer means for increasing its traction by taking weight from a railroad car to one that is coupled. The vehicle defines a first chassis having wheels carried thereby. In accor- dance with this invention, a second chassis is carried by the first chassis, with the second chassis carrying means for coupling the vehicle to a railroad car or the like, the second chassis being vertically movable relative to the first chassis. Lift cylinders may be positioned between the first and second chassis to control the vertical posi- tion of the second chassis for improved coupling character- istics. Also, the second chassis may be horizontally mov- able along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, with re- silient stop means being present for limiting the horizontal motion of the second chassis in a shock-reducing manner. Accordingly, shock encountered by the transmission means of the vehicle, while coupling with railroad cars and the like, is reduced.
