Abstract
A slider frame adapted to be slidably mounted on a semi-trailer having a pair of transversely spaced longitudinally extending body rails on the underside thereof. The slider frame includes a pair of longitudinally extending side rails of C-channel shape. Suspension hangers are fastened to the C-channel rails. A reinforcing pan is mounted in each C-channel rail above each suspension hanger. Tubular cross-members extend between the cross-rails and are attached to the reinforcing pans and the side rails. The reinforcing pans box-in and connect the C-channel rails to the suspension hangers.
