Side protections
2.22 Mudflaps
If required by regulations and if not originally fitted, it is necessary to ensure that the complete vehicle is provided with suitable
mudflaps. For the assembly, the distances specified by current regulations must be respected.
Side protections
2.23 Side protections
In some countries, regulations (national or EC) require the application of side protections. Compliance with the required
characteristics must be guaranteed by the fitter who completes the vehicle, if this has not already been originally installed (optional
equipment).
In permanently installed superstructures (e.g. fixed bodies, van bodies) the side protection may be applied on their base structure
(e.g. frame of the floor , cross member), whereas for mobile superstructures (e.g. tilting bodies, interchangeable, roll-off equipment)
the connection may be made by means of suitable supports on the sub-frame or directly on the vehicle chassis. In the latter case,
use if possible the existing holes in the vertical rib of the side member, in accordance with Chapter 2.2.
When implementing the external protection, according to what is specified by the regulations (e.g. EC Directive), it is permitted
to use a single section on an extended surface in a vertical direction or multiple longitudinal sections, with predefined dimensions
and distances from each other.
The side protection must be connected to its support structure in order to permit quick removal or tilting in the case of maintenance
or repairs on the units positioned nearby.
Functionality and accessibility to the following components must be guaranteed:
- braking system equipment;
- fuel supply;
- suspensions;
- spare wheel;
- engine exhaust.
It is recommended to use suitable materials (e.g. FeE420).
Particular attention must be placed on the implementation to ensure the distances from the various vehicle components required
by regulations are respected.
Chocks
2.24 Chocks
Normally, installation takes place directly in production. If this is not the case, or if it is necessary to change the original position,
the Fitter must identify a new position in compliance with local regulations. The new position must be reliable and safe and be easy
to access.
