Changes to the under-run protection bar
Changes to the under---run protection bar
2.20 Changes to the under-run protection bar
The vehicles are equipped with an under-run protection device in compliance with current EC Directives.
The maximum distance permitted between the device and the most set back part of the superstructure is 400 mm, less the
deformation found during the approval phase (10 mm on average).
When the changes on the chassis require an adjustment of the rear overhang, the under-run protection device must be repositioned
(in compliance with current regulations) making the same connection to the chassis foreseen in the original version.
When transforming vehicles or applying special equipment (e.g. rear tail lifts) it may be necessary to perform work on the under-run
protection structure. This must not jeopardise the original characteristics of resistance and rigidity (compliance with any national
standards). Upon request, the fitter must present the necessary documentation for compliance with the required characteristics.
If another under-run protection device must be fit, compliance with current regulations must be checked. The inspection certificates
or documentation must be presented, if requested, to the competent Authorities.
Rear under-run protection and wheelhouses
2.21 Rear under-run protection and wheelhouses
In cab vehicles supplied without mudflaps, these can be positioned by implementing solutions equivalent to what is foreseen
by IVECO.
For the implementation of the mudflaps, the wheelhouses as well as for the conformation of the superstructure, keep in mind that:
- the free movement of the wheels must be guaranteed also if chains are used, in compliance with the limits specified in Paragraph
2.13.3;
- the maximum width of the tyres must comply with the legal limits foreseen for the vehicle;
- the support structure must be suitably robust, avoiding sudden variations in sections and the presence of vibration;
- the connection can be made to the vertical rib of the vehicle side members or to the longitudinal sections of the sub-frame.
In the first case, the connection must be done using only screws, or directly under the superstructure (see Figure 2.35).
The first and the second point must also be kept in mind when implementing the wheelhouses.
