3.4 CONTAINER APPLICATION
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.
Fixed bodies
The application on vehicles exclusively destined for road use, may be realized by means of a support structure consisting of longit-
udinal sections and cross members. The minimum Approximate sizes of the longitudinal sections are shown in Table 3.4.

Note
For the dimensions of the profiles see Table 3.2.
Fastening is achieved through specially crafted brackets along the vertical rib of the side members (see Figure 12) and, if such con-
nections have not already been specified by IVECO, they must be made according to the instructions in Chapter 3.3 - Paragraph
"Connection with brackets" ( ➠ Page 12).
If brackets or clamps are used to obtain suitable longitudinal containment, then a rigid connection at the end of the rear overhang is
recommended by using plates (see Figure 11).

In the cases in which the body needs to be kept separate from the chassis so as to avoid excessive overall torsional rigidity, con-
nections are required which utilize box section structures that are fastened to the rib of the side member. Figure 13 illustrates the
solution chosen by IVECO and, in particular, it proposes a front part which provides an elastic type constructive solution.
