2.13.4 Creating deep cabs
When creating deep cabs (e.g. 8+1), for special vehicles, for municipal uses, for the fire department, etc., the suspension must
be adjusted according to the greater weight and the extra seats created.
This type of operation requires confirmation by IVECO regarding the suitability of the original suspension devices.
In general, solutions equivalent to those foreseen in normal production for similar versions can be adopted.
When defining a suitable flexible system, the following is necessary:
- comply with the position of the cab foreseen for the standard vehicle;
- prevent the additional weight from weighing on the original part of the cab and its relative suspension;
- guarantee normal oscillations along the vertical, longitudinal and transversal planes.
To help preserve the integrity and rigidity of the cab, it is recommended to maintain the rear structure as intact as possible. The
cut may be made laterally, without damaging the door compartment ring.
The fitter must implement the necessary connections to the weight bearing structure, composed of longitudinal sections and pillars,
and connect the new floor to them; furthermore, inspection panels must be provided, if necessary.
It is recommended to pay particular attention to the surface preparation of the elements to be welded (using a zinc primer) and
to adopt the necessary precautions in order to properly prepare the bottom for subsequent painting (see chapter 2.3).
Changing the cab could involve components such as the air intake and filter. Using original parts already foreseen for similar versions
could represent a good solution and permit compliance with legislative requirements.
!
A deep cab could have an impact on vehicle behaviour and safety (suspension, controls). Therefore, its
implementation must be done with extreme care and using the necessary methods.
