Fitting of vehicles for community work (compactors, compressors, road sprayers) requires the following in many cases:
- construction of a very robust sub-frame toward the rear and elastic connections to the chassis toward the front of the vehicle;
- shortening of the rear chassis overhang.
When very short overhangs are required, the chassis may be shortened immediately behind the rear spring hanger (or after the
anti-roll bar connection in the case of pneumatic suspension), keeping the cross member connection to the chassis intact;
- vertical positioning of the exhaust, behind the cab;
- use of more rigid rear suspensions or suspensions with asymmetrical springs;
- new position of rear lights.
Do not use the reversing light switch fitted on the gearbox to activate functions requiring high
reliability and safety (e.g. engine stop when reversing, on vehicles for waste collection by personnel
located on the rear footboards).
