Removable cranes
The installation of removable cranes on the rear overhang may be carried out according to the specifications of the previous para-
graph provided the type of fixing used between the crane and the counter chassis does not cause additional stress to the vehicle’s
frame.
Since the vehicle may be used with or without the crane (where permitted), it is recommended that the position of the payload is
marked on the superstructure.
If the vehicle retains its ability to tow a trailer, all regulations concerning the proper coupling of the vehicle must be observed.
3.9 INSTALLATION OF TAIL LIFTS
Note The installation of tail lifts must be carried out with due regard for the maximum permissible weights on the rear axles of
the vehicle and of the minimum load established for the front axle (see Chapter 1.15 (
➠
Page 11)). If this is not possible,
the rear overhang will have to be reduced.
The tail lift must be fastened with a structure that ensures appropriate weight distribution, especially in the case of specific outfits
with no adequate counter chassis (e.g. box truck bodies, pick-up bodies with cross-members).
The dimensions of the sections to be used for the installation of tail lifts are defined as follows:
●
using Table 3.13, in the case of standard rear overhangs and with mean bending moments induced by tail lifts, as a function of
their capacity. The table also indicates the capacity values above which suitable stabilisers are to be used;
●
in the case of different rear overhang lengths and specific tail lifts (e.g. aluminium), the flexural moments exerted on the
chassis and the characteristics of the reinforcement sections necessary may be determined using the indications given in Figure
3.25.
In any event, particularly in those specific uses where there is not a suitable counter chassis, the fixing for the tail lift must be
provided by a structure which enables the distribution of the stress on the chassis.
Furthermore, to ensure the necessary strength and rigidity, and especially in the case of overhangs exceeding 1500 mm, the con-
nection between the chassis and the counter chassis must be made using shear-resistant plates (spaced no further than 700 mm
from one another) in the area of the overhang, and must continue up to the front mount of the rear suspension (see Figure 3.25).
