• Opposed bracket
This is a fastener composed of two brackets opposed to each other (one on chassis frame, one on mounting
frame) and one bolt connecting these brackets. This offers a larger fastening force in a vertical direction as
compared to a U-bolt. However, it is inferior in the longitudinal and lateral holding forces. To increase the
longitudinal holding force of this fastener, arrange two pairs of brackets diagonally as shown below. To
increase the lateral holding force, overhang the bracket on the mounting frame side toward the chassis frame
side.
• Mounting flange
This is a retainer composed of a set plate fastening the chassis frame and mounting frame to each other.
This offers a strong holding force in the longitudinal direction but is inferior to a U-bolt or opposed bracket
in vertical and lateral holding forces.
