Abstract
A lifting arrangement for a wheel shaft of a vehicle operates on a wheel shaft that is movably suspended in a vehicle frame structure through one or more stay devices. The stay devices are articulatedly connected to the frame structure through at least one frame connection, and to the wheel shaft by at least one shaft connection. A lifting device is arranged in connection with the frame structure and the stay device to raise the wheel shaft in a vertical direction relative to the frame structure when actuated. The stay device provides a compact mechanism to permit the vehicle axle to be lifted, while preserving room for other vehicle components.
