3.19 Lateral ProtectionAccording to EU Directive 89/297 EEC and article §32 c. of the German motor vehicle traffic regulations (STVZO), motor cars whose permitted total weight exceeds 3.5 t and whose main car-body parts have a headroom of more than 500 mm above lane, must be provided with lateral protectors, if these vehicles are to be used in the Federal Republic of Germany. Excluded from this regulation are tractive units, driven machines and special vehicles whose operational purpose cannot be fulfilled by the lateral protectors.
As standard, all LT 46 flatbed models are provided with lateral protectors. At the LT chassis (cab/double cab without flatbed), no lateral protectors are mounted. The lateral protectors must be constructed and installed by the attachment manufacturer relating to the attachments according to the relevant EU directive.
If lateral protectors are to be installed subsequently, the following instructions apply:
- Component parts, such as battery box, air receivers, petrol tanks, lamps, reflectors, spare wheels and tool boxes, may be installed if the prescribed distance dimensions are kept. Brake, air or hydraulic lines and other parts must not be attached to the lateral protector.
- Function and accessibility of all equipment, modules, units, etc. of the vehicle must not be impaired.
