Guidelines

2.3 Maximum Dimensions

The chassis dimensions can be taken from the following drawings (see p. 20-23). Chassis drawings, on a scale of 1:20 and 1:10, are available to help you planning the attachment.

If reinforced springs, enhanced springs are installed or if tyre sizes are used that are differing from the standard model, vehicle and frame heights (as measured from ground level) may change considerably. In this case, it is necessary to consider this equipment during projecting.

Important note

The minimum distance between cab and attachment must be at least 30 mm.
The rear overhang of the attachments must not exceed 40% of the wheel base.

The maximum permitted overhang (rear) of 40% of the wheel base, results in the following max. external attachment lengths for chassis. These values must not be exceeded:

	Wheelbase	Standard attachment length, interior	max. external attachment length, 40% overhang
Chassis with driver’s cab	2.920 mm	2.505 mm	2.686 mm
Chassis with driver’s cab	3.320 mm	2.905 mm	3.246 mm
Chassis with double cab	3.320 mm	2.140 mm	2.476 mm

Attachment width:
The exterior width of the driver’s cab is 1,840 mm. If the standard exterior mirrors are used, the attachment width must not exceed 2,200 mm.
