Claim:
A mobile building transportation device, comprising: a frame to support a mobile building for transport on a public highway, the frame having a left longitudinal support member disposed at a left side of the frame and a right longitudinal support member disposed at a right side of the frame, a front transverse support member disposed toward a front of the frame and a rear transverse support member disposed toward a rear of the frame, the front and rear transverse support members being configured to interface with the mobile building and bear at least a portion of the weight of the mobile building, and a coupling feature associated with each of the front and rear transverse support members for securing the mobile building to the frame; a front axle disposed at a front end of the frame, coupled to the frame by a front suspension component; and a rear axle disposed at a rear end of the frame, coupled to the frame by a rear suspension component, wherein the front and rear transverse support members are configured to support the mobile building above the front and rear axles to facilitate minimizing a vertical distance between the mobile building and the front and rear axles, to minimize a height of a center of gravity of the mobile building and facilitate unobstructed movement of the front and rear axles through a range of motion of the front and rear suspension components, and wherein at least one of the left longitudinal support member, the right longitudinal support, the front transverse support member, and the rear transverse support member is constructed, at least in part, of tubing.
