3.11 VEHICLES FOR COUNCIL, FIRE SERVICE AND SPECIAL USES
The outfitting of vehicles for municipal uses (compactor trucks; road cleaning vehicles) in many cases require:
● the realization of a particularly robust counter chassis towards the rear and elastic type connections to the chassis towards the
front of the vehicle;
● the vertical placement of the exhaust, behind the cab;
● the adoption of rear suspensions with greater rigidity;
● a new arrangement of the rear lights.
▶ Do not use the reversing light switch, mounted on the gearbox, to activate functions that
require increased reliability and safety levels, (e.g. engine stop during reverse, on vehicles for
urban waste collection from the personnel present on the rear footboards).
3.12 FRONT INSTALLATION OF SNOW PLOUGH ATTACHMENTS
The application of a snowplough attachment (blade or ploughshare) to the front part of the vehicle must be carried out using a
suitable support structure, appropriately anchored to the core of the chassis side members and in observance of the prescriptions
contained in Chapter 2.2 ( ➠ Page 7).
Since, when used to remove snow, the vehicle is weighted at the rear and the maximum speed is limited (e.g. 40 km/h), a small
increase in maximum axle load may be allowed upon specific assessment and authorisation by IVECO.
It should be possible to use all the elements of the vehicle front panel (e.g. tow-bar, supports for windscreen cleaner); otherwise,
equivalent systems must be provided in compliance with the safety requirements.
Observance of the required load must be documented and guaranteed by the company that carries out the installation.
3.13 APPLICATION OF A WINCH
The application of a winch on the vehicle may be carried out on the front part of the chassis (frontal).
The installation must be carried out so as not to alter the correct functioning of the vehicle's assemblies and components, in ob-
servance of the maximum permitted axle limits and following the instructions of the winch manufacturer. The fastening of the idler
members and assembly, must be carried out in observance of Chapter 2.2 ( ➠ Page 7), ensuring that the connection areas are not
only reinforced locally (see Chapter 2.17 ( ➠ Page 33)), according to the pull of the winch cable and particularly its transverse com-
ponent, when the traction is oblique.
The installation of a winch in the area behind the cab must allow for the insertion of an auxiliary frame, of suitable dimensions and
structure (crossbars and diagonals for stiffening) for the winch capacity.
In the event of winches:
● hydraulically controlled: previously installed hydraulic pumps can be used for other services (tipping bodies, cranes, etc.);
● mechanical: for transmission of the control it is necessary to follow the indications contained in Chapter 4.1 ( ➠ Page 5) and
4.2 ( ➠ Page 7);
● with worm screw control: the dimensioning of the drive parts must take into account the low efficiency of controls of this
type;
● electric: these are used for low power applications of brief duration, given the limited capacity of the vehicle battery and al-
ternator.
