5.3 Drilling at the Chassis Frame

  • Additional fastening points for special attachments
    The side rails are hollow profiles. If it is required to drill there, this may only be performed in the neutral zone (centre of side rail, but with sufficient distance to the flange). In addition, spacer bushings must then be welded in.

  • Boreholes which are applied ex-works at the upper and lower belt of the side rails must not be drilled and/or extended. In addition, these boreholes must not be used for holding any instruments, modules, etc.

  • Boreholes for connecting passages for pipes, electric cables, tackle blocks, etc. and for attaching add-on parts (clamps, etc.). In exceptional cases, we approve of boreholes to be carried out in the bar of the side rails or in the cross-members. In this case, however, it is strongly recommended to get in touch with us.
