- Maximum crane-load moment: 25 KNm
- Moments of resistance for mounting-frame side rails: Wx = 45cm3 (45cm3 (profile dimensions according to diagram under item 3.3)
- Determine the flatbed length depending on the loading-crane attachment.
- Due to the load distribution, it may be necessary to lengthen the chassis.
- A permission is required for deviating crane attachments.
- The necessary supporting devices should be hydraulically actuated.
- Do not lift the vehicle with the supporting device (chassis may be damaged)
- Crane attachments and supporting devices must neither impair other equipment, modules, units, etc., nor the associated functions.
- Loading crane attachments must meet the requirements of the regulations for the prevention of industrial accidents and the EC Machinery Directive.
