Adjusting the height of the telescopic
fold-out post
NOTE
Material damage due to incorrect
height of the fold-out posts!
After adjusting the superstructure height
on the corner posts, the roof can bulge or
sag and damage the superstructure.
► After adjusting the superstructure
height on the corner posts, adjust the
height of the telescopic fold-out posts.
► The roof height adjustment may only
be plugged in if the front and rear in-
terior height are identical. Canopies
with different interior heights at the
front and rear (wedge canopies) are
special equipment.
INFO
For maximum loading height, open the
side curtain and unlock the centre posts.
When temporarily raising the lifting roof at
the adjustable corner posts, the telescopic
fold-out posts adapt themselves to the
height differences by extending their tele-
scoping parts. Using the plugging unit, the
superstructure height can be adjusted in
50-mm increments.

Using double-deck loading on the double-
deck superstructure, you can make better
use of the available load compartment
volume.
Longitudinal beams and transverse beams
are used as bearing elements.

Design of the double-deck posts:
○
A lateral hole pattern to fasten the lon-
gitudinal beams and adjust their
height.
○
An inside hole pattern to directly mount
and adjust the height of the transverse
beams.
To accommodate Euro pallets, the trans-
verse beams can be fastened to the hole
pattern of the longitudinal beams.
