Mixed connection
Based on the indications in Chapter 3.1 (
➠
Page 5) for realisation of the counter chassis and the considerations of Chapter 3.3
(
➠
Page 11), the connection between the vehicle chassis and the reinforcing counter chassis may be of mixed type, i.e. obtained by
rationally using the elastic connections (brackets, clevis fasteners) and rigid connections (longitudinal and transverse sealing plates).
Generally, it is preferable to have elastic connections in the front part of the counter chassis (one or two per side), while connec-
tions are recommended with plates toward the rear of the vehicle when it the added structure requires a greater contribution to
the overall stiffness (e.g. tippers, cranes on rear overhang, etc.).
For this purpose, it is also possible to use connections by means of screws at the rear end of the chassis as shown in Figure 12.

3.4 CONTAINER APPLICATION
Dimensions and centres of gravity
Check the correct load distribution and in particular, respect the indications regarding the height of the centre of gravity as
provided in Section 1 using suitable construction precautions and ensure that the transported load has maximum stability while
running.
Fixed bodies
The application on normal cab vehicles, valid only for road services, is normally made through a support structure consisting of
longitudinal and transverse profiles. The minimum Approximate sizes of the longitudinal sections are shown in Table 3.4.

Note For the dimensions of the profiles see Table 3.2.
Fastening is achieved through specially crafted brackets along the vertical rib of the side members; if such connections have not
already been specified by IVECO, they must be made according to the instructions in Chapter 3.3 - Paragraph "Connection with
brackets" (
