NOTICE
▪
For all liftgates ≥ (2500kg), reinforce the bolted connections by means of a (10mm) weld to the vehicle
subframe (truck chassis), or to the bottom flange of the I-beam (trailer chassis). [Figure 9.24]
▪
Consult the FITTING AND BODY BUILDING instructions of the vehicle manufacturer to verify what is allowed.
▪ The torque fastenings of all bolts should be checked after completion of the compulsory static and dynamic
weight tests at the end of the fitting process and retightened if required.
▪ Ensure that all freshly made chassis perforations are properly deburred and that all metal work (cutting,
drilling, welding, grinding…) is properly treated with an anti -corrosive protection (e.g. zinc-spray or Dinitrol).
Allow to dry. Consult the FITTING AND BODY BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS of the vehicle manufacturer to
take their instructions into account.
CAUTION
▪
Before welding, note that welding on galvanized parts releases hazardous fumes. Provide adequate ventilation,
and wear an appropriate toxic fume rated welding respirator.
▪
It is strongly recommended to first grind off the galvanizing in areas where welding is to be done.
