an elongate member adapted to be coupled directly with a frame of the construction machine, the elongate member extending along a longitudinal axis of the construction machine, the elongate member having a first end portion and a second end portion opposite the first end portion, the elongate member having a first length defined along the longitudinal axis and a first height defined perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;
a first bracket coupled with the elongate member proximate to the first end portion of the elongate member, wherein the first bracket and the elongate member define a first through-aperture;
a short member adapted to be coupled directly with the frame of the construction machine, the short member being disposed proximate to the first end portion of the elongate member, the short member being spaced apart from the elongate member in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis by a distance, the short member having a second length defined along the longitudinal axis, the second length being less than the first length; and
a second bracket coupled with the short member, the second bracket and the short member defining a second through-aperture, such that the second through-aperture is in alignment with the first through-aperture.
