3.15 SPECIAL OUTFITS
The bodybuilder must ensure compliance of operations carried out with legal requirements, especially in the case of configurations
for the transport of persons.
3.15.1 Cowl chassis versions
They are made specifically for the installation of special bodies or equipment (shop vans, motor homes, etc.).
The indications and precautions shown on the technical documentation (chassis diagram) provided by IVECO must be carefully
respected.
3.15.2 Motor homes
Mass limits applicable to single axles must be strictly adhered to, as well as the total limit, keeping in mind a sufficient load margin in
addition to the number of people expected:
● baggage, tents, sporting equipment;
● water tank, sanitary facilities;
● gas cylinders, etc.
It is necessary to ensure that the load to be transported can be placed in specific compartments, with appropriate safety margins
and providing suitable directions.
Special attention must be given to the construction of compartments for gas cylinders, which must be built in compliance with spe-
cific regulations in force and adopting the necessary safety precautions.
For repair operations on the rear overhang, see the instructions in Chapter 2.5 ( ➠ Page 17).
3.15.3 Aerial work platforms
The application of a platform or aerial platform must comply with national standards (for example, CUNA, DIN) and international
standards (e.g. ISO, CEN), as well as any specific requirements.
The choice of the type of platform must be made by checking compatibility with the features of the vehicle chassis, which is avail-
able.
Positioning on the vehicle must respect limits and distribution of permitted load.
The installation requires a suitable subframe, the creation of which requires observance of not only the general indications (see
Chapter 3.3 and Table 3.2 and Table 3.3), but also:
● assess the maximum static moment and the intended location of the superstructure;
● avoid abrupt sections changes;
● create a fastening solution such as that in Figure 3 or, in cases of high stress, that in Figure 18, in which the first fastening of the
subframe is highlighted.
