Transmission of forces between the cab and body should be ensured. This can be
achieved, for example, by the options below:
- Option A: The fixation between the B-pillar and the upper body can be effected
by means of a vertical sheet (tightness ≥ 2 mm), which must be bonded across
its entire length.
- Option B: The fixation between the B-pillar and the upper body can be effected
by means of angle sections, by riveting them.
Table 1-150 SPBTC54_002
The following should also be taken into account:
- A perfect seal must be ensured between cab and body.
- Regulations regarding noise must be complied with.
See chapter 2.3.9 "Noise insulation".
- Parts of the cab involved in the modification must be protected from corrosion.
See chapter 4.1.5 "Corrosion protection".
- The standards and recommendations for welding, drilling and screwing must be
complied with.
See chapter 4.1 "Prevention and recommendations".
