3.4 CONTAINER APPLICATION
3.4.1 Dimensions and centres of gravity
Check the correct load distribution and in particular, respect the indications regarding the height of the centre of gravity as
provided in Section 1 using suitable construction precautions and ensure that the transported load has maximum stability while
running.
3.4.2 Fixed bodies
The application on vehicles destined exclusively for road use can be achieved by means of a support structure consisting of longit-
udinal sections (2) and cross members (4). The minimum approximate dimensions of the longitudinal sections are shown in Table
3.3.

Note
For the dimensions of the profiles see Table 3.2.
Fastening is achieved through specific pre-installed brackets (3) along the vertical rib of the side members (1) (see Figure 9) and,
if these connections have not already been specified by IVECO, they must be made according to the indications provided in Para-
graph 3.3.2 "Connection with the brackets" .
If brackets are used to obtain suitable longitudinal containment, then a rigid connection at the end of the rear overhang is recom-
mended. This can be achieved by using plates.

If the body needs to be kept separate from the chassis to avoid excessive overall torsional rigidity, connections are required which
utilize box section structures secured to the rib of the side member.
