If you wish to use the tow with a vehicle not originally designed (and in compliance with the limits established by IVECO for each
model), only original rear crossbars which have already been hole punched can be mounted. Towable masses and the bearable
vertical loads can be defined based on the size of the hole.
To tow centre-axle trailers the vehicle must have an adequate connection between the chassis and the counter chassis and, in par-
ticular, in the area that goes from the rear end of the overhang to the front support of the rear suspension, longitudinal and trans-
verse sealing plates need to be provided.
Moreover, in the case of long rear overhangs and depending on the masses to be towed, it may be necessary to adopt sections of
the counter chassis having a larger size than those normally provided.
Example of calculations for connection device class for centre axle trailers
We shall consider a vehicle with maximum weight of 18 t that must tow a centre axle trailer of 9 t with length of load bed 8 m and
theoretical drawbar length of 7 m.
The data at hand yields:
R = 9 t
S equals 0.9 t, i.e. the least of the values 0.1 • R = 0.9 t and 1 t

V = 1.8 • (9 - 0.9) • 1.3 = 18.95 [kN]
