INTRODUCTION PRELIMINAR STUDIES AND CONSIDERATIONS
MOUNTING AND CONSTRUCTION
The type of material chosen will be also important. The use of material with at least
the same properties as the chassis frame of the original vehicle is recommended.
The use of a steel subframe is recommended.
In addition, loading cranes are frequently installed with other bodies (tipper bodies,
platform bodies, etc.), and a subframe is also needed for these. A subframe that is
able to withstand all the stresses to which the vehicle is subjected during its various
operations, and also while driving, should therefore be considered for the body.
The subframe also provides the necessary crane height to ensure proper clearance,
so that the operation of the other components of the vehicle will not be affected.
Sometimes, in the region where the supports of the crane are installed, it might be
advisable to reinforce the longitudinal beams by making a box section. The transi-
tion between the box section and U-section should be made gradually.
