2.23 SIDE PROTECTIONS
In some countries, regulations (national or UNECE) require the application of side protections. Compliance with the required char-
acteristics should be assured by the bodybuilder who handles completion of the vehicle, if it was not already equipped as such ori-
ginally (optional setting).
In permanently applied superstructures (e.g. fixed bodies, vans) side protection can be applied on the basis of their structure (e.g.
frame of the floor beams), while for mobile superstructures (e.g. tippers) the connection can be made by means of suitable sup-
ports on the subframe or directly on the frame. In the latter case, use the existing holes on the vertical rib of the side member as
much as possible, in compliance with Chapter 2.2 ( ➠ Page 7).
In the construction of the external protective element, in accordance with Regulatory specifications (for example, EC Directive), it
is permitted to use either a single section with a surface extending in the vertical longitudinal sections, with pre-set dimensions and
distances between them.
The protection must be connected to the support structures in order to be quickly removed or reversed in case of maintenance
or repair of the units behind them
2.24 REARVIEW MIRRORS
