Claim:
An arrangement for mounting, on a motor vehicle assembly line, a substantially vertical mechanical element as a front technical surface, comprising at least one cooling radiator, onto a transverse structural element of a body of a vehicle, or an upper crossmember of the vehicle, the mechanical element comprising at least one substantially horizontal part, configured to rest on an upper face of the crossmember, the arrangement comprising: at least one bearing platform, bearing the mechanical element, which is configured to be slid under the body of the vehicle and then raised up vertically to allow the mechanical element to be assembled with the transverse structural element of the body of the vehicle, wherein the platform comprises a yoke for accepting the vertical mechanical element, which yoke is configured to hold the element between at least: a vertical position that is tilted forward, so as to allow the vertical mechanical element to be raised up with the platform without the substantially horizontal part interfering with the upper crossmember, and a vertical position to allow the substantially horizontal part to be attached to the crossmember and the vertical mechanical element to be stood up vertically.
