Torsional reinforcement in the subframe
In vehicles that need high torsional rigidity in the rear section (such as dump bodies,
bodies with a crane installed in the rear, etc.), the installation of additional rein
-
forcements is required, to ensure the stability of the vehicle.
These reinforcements can progressively increase the stiffness as needed. There are
different solutions:

1
Using rectangular section for longitudinal
beams on the rear
3
Using cruciform bracings (with different
sections as needed)
2
Using rectangular section for end crossbars
NOTICE
The stability of the vehicle during operations performed with the superstructures
(e.g. the use of a crane) will be the responsibility of the Body Builder and of the
vehicle owner.
The Body Builder must perform all tests considered necessary to ensure stability
during normal vehicle operation.
The vehicle owner must take care to ensure the stability of the vehicle. For this
reason, it is important to provide the operation manuals for the superstructure.
