Lowered cab roof
Details & Technology
In the case of a chassis with cab and without rear wall and roof (Code F28), the door
portals and remaining roof structure are trimmed. A square tube construction is also
screwed in, providing both provisional rigidity and an attachment surface.
This provisional structural rigidity
must be accounted for
in dimensional terms when
planning and designing bodies. Alternatively, the body manufacturer can install its own
construction if this has a rigidity equivalent to that of the original design.
The roof height is reduced by approx. 70 mm compared with a conventional roof. The
lowered version is also painted in the bodyshop following modification. The standard-
specification sun visors and grab handles are mounted. The roof panelling can be
attached to the established securing points but must be trimmed individually by the body
manufacturer and adapted to the interior equipment.
Benefits & Arguments
•
Caters to special body designs
•
Allows a lower overall vehicle height
•
Roof variant specially aligned with the requirements of camper van body
manufacturers
This makes it possible to produce a roof variant more closely aligned with the
requirements of camper van manufacturers compared with the standard chassis. Thanks
to pre-installation in the bodyshop, the overall vehicle height can be reduced – particularly
for camper vans. A clearly defined attachment level is available to the body manufacturer
– complex bodyshop modifications are not necessary
.
Reinforced frame is a bolt-on solution and
