3.13 Winch installation
A winch can be applied to the vehicle in the following points:
- on the front of the frame (front installation);
- on vehicle chassis behind the cab;
- between vehicle side members, centre or displace on one side;
- on the end of the frame.
Installation must be performed so as not to alter the correct operation of vehicle assemblies and components, respecting the
maximum allowed loads on axles and following the instructions of the winch Manufacturer. The assembly and gears must be fastened
according to point 2.3, taking care to reinforce the anchoring area not only locally (see point 2.17), according to the pull of the winch
rope and in particular of its transversal component when traction is on a diagonal.
Installation of a winch in the area behind the cab requires an additional sub-frame with size and structure (cross and diagonal members
for rigidity) suitable to the winch capacity.
In the event of winches:
- with hydraulic drive: hydraulic pumps already installed for other functions (tilting bodies, cranes, etc.) can be used;
- with mechanical drive: for control transmission follow the instructions under points 4.1 and 4.2;
- with worm screw drive: the size of the elements of the drive must take into account the low yield of this type of drives;
- with electric drive: must be used for low power and low duration, due to the limited capacity of the battery and alternator of
the vehicle.
!
All safety requirements, national and EC regulations must be complied with.
