5.11.2 Self-Supporting Body
Structure
Bodies and structures can be judged as
self-supporting providing they maintain the
following rules:
•
Cross members are used at each chassis
mounting point, please refer to Figures.
E74576, E74860, E74861, E74862 and E74803
•
Each cross member has a suitably engineered
connection to the body side wall (3) or to the
continuous floor frame (5), see Fig. E74576.
•
The body side wall or the continuous floor
frame supports any overhang beyond the
chassis frame, whether on standard frame or
extended frame.
Alternatively, the self-supporting body structure
can also be designed as shown in Fig. E74577.
