3.4 Notes on attachment of crane

Since no provision has been made for a power take-off from the gearbox, the crane can only be powered by an electric pump unit (heavy duty battery and heavy duty alternator required).

Before fitting a loading crane, perform a load distribution calculation to check for compliance with the permitted axle load and the minimum front axle load.

It is not permitted for a loading crane to be mounted on series production vehicles without special approval from the factory.
If ordering a vehicle for equipping with a loading crane, we recommend using the additional battery (PR no.: 8FB).

The chassis must be equipped with a mounting frame for mounting the loading crane (see note regarding the mounting frame).

Important notes:

  • Provide supporting means for operation
