3. The rear tipping hinge must be fitted on the counter chassis; its position must be as near as possible to the rear support of
the rear suspension. In order not to affect the stability of the vehicle during tipping and to not excessively increase the stress
on the chassis, it must be respected the distances indicated in Figure 16. If for technical reasons this cannot be achieved, small
increases may be permitted provided a higher strength counter chassis is used, in order to increase the rigidity of the rear end.
Where long bodies are needed to transport large volumes, it is advisable to lengthen the wheelbase of the vehicle.
4. Great care must be given to the positioning of the lifting device both in terms of providing support of adequate strength and
in order to correctly position the mountings. In any case, it is advisable to place the ram to the front of the centre of gravity of
the body and payload so as to reduce the extent of the localized load.
5. In rear tipping it is recommended that a stabiliser is fitted to guide the container, particularly when the lifting cylinder is located
behind the cab.
6. The lifting device hinge must be mounted on the counter chassis. The useful volume in the body must conform with the max-
imum permissible load on the axles, to the density of the material to be transported (a density mass of approximately 1600
kg/m
3
is to be used for excavated material). In the case of transporting freight with a low density, the useful volume may be
increased within the limits established for the maximum height of the centre of gravity of the payload (plus the fixtures).
7. The Body builder must ensure the functioning and safety of all parts of the vehicle (e.g. the positioning of lights, towing hook
etc.) and ensure that, following the addition of the structure, vehicle stability is guaranteed during tipping operations.
Note To ensure stability on vehicles with air suspension it is required to deflate the air bellows completely.
