Use and type of reinforcements
If the extension of the overhang is less than 100 mm in length, it is not necessary
to add reinforcements to the frame for normal performance, this in only necessary
for high loading works.
If the extension of the overhang is more than 100 mm in length, reinforcements
should be added on beams of the chassis frame.
The materials used in the reinforcements must match the materials of the original
chassis. They should be placed symmetrically on either side of the frame.
The shape of the reinforcements can be as follows:
Table 1-48 LCV_SPBGC42_012 Reinforcements of the chassis beams
The dimensions of the reinforcements will be determined by the Body Builder.
