3.5 Attachment of a Loading Tailboard

Instructions on the attachment of a loading tailboard
Before attaching a loading tailboard, it has to be checked (by means of a load-distribution calculation) whether the permitted rear-axle load and the minimum front-axle load are kept.

It is not permitted to attach a loading tailboard to standard box-type delivery vans without the approval of the relevant manufacturer. It is possible to attach a swinging lift with a load-carrying capacity of max. 300 kg.

When ordering a chassis which is to be equipped with an electrohydraulic loading tailboard, we recommend the following options: reinforced generator and reinforced battery.

For the attachment of the loading tailboard, the chassis has to be provided with a mounting frame (see note on mounting frames).

Note: Subject to errors and technical amendments. The electronic version of the body guidelines is the decisive source of up-to-date data on body guidelines.August 2007
