Moving components and fastening supplementary units and equipment
If it is necessary to move units (various components, fuel tank, spare wheel, etc.) for the installation of particular equipment, the
operation is permitted on the condition that:
-
the functionality of the units themselves is not jeopardised;
-
the same type of original connection is restored;
-
the new situation and distribution of mass is compatible with the original vehicle situation.
The protruding fastening of heavy components is not permitted (batteries, for example); the supports, in addition to being placed
on the side member, must be secured to other components, such as support surfaces or one of the sides.
Wheel holder
For cabs not supplied with a spare wheel holder, or if it is necessary to move the location of the spare wheel, a suitable support
must be implemented that permits quick removal and that respects a minimum entry angle of 7
˚
.
Two possible solutions are shown in figures 2.31 and 2.32.
For the fastening of the spare wheel on the side of the vehicle with a support placed on the rib of the side member, it is recommended
to place a local reinforcement place inside or outside of the side member that is sized in function of the wheel weight and if there
are other reinforcements on the side member or not.

In order to limit the torsional stress on the vehicle chassis it is recommended to install it in correspondence of a cross member,
especially in the case of heavy units.
It is necessary to proceed in the same manner when installing tanks, compressors etc.; their location must be taken into account
when distributing weights (see Chapter 1.15). In all of these situations, a sufficient margin in their height from the ground must always
be guaranteed based on vehicle use.
