3.11 Loading crane
For design of loading crane structures, take into consideration the necessary stability and connection of the loading crane to the vehicle chassis (item 3.3).
- Maximum crane moment (kN x l): 25 kNm
- The vehicle may only be used on hard, level standing.
- Determine the flat bed length in accordance with the load crane.
- A frame extension may be necessary due to the load distribution.
- A permit is required for abnormal crane designs.
- For crane operation, stability is to be assured by side projecting support feet.
- The necessary support devices should be actuated hydraulically.
- Do not lift vehicle on support device (damage to frame).
- Crane bodies and support devices must not impair other assemblies and their function.
- Loading crane bodies must meet the accident prevention regulations and the EU machinery guidelines.
- The minimum front axle load of 25% must be adhered to in any load status.
