Requirements for transverse bar are as follows—
(dimensions used on sketches are guidelines only, different model, weight range, tray size, long and short wheel base construction are the factors that will determine final measurements)
- (a)the following weight range and dimensions are to be used as a guideline—
DIMENSION 2–2.5 TON 2.5–4.5 TON 4.5–5 A–B 1550 mm 1800 mm 1950 mm C–D 1160 mm 1350 mm 14705 mm D–E 120 mm 150 mm 100 mm E–F 140 mm 170 mm 170 mm G–H 1320 mm–max 1600 1750 mm–max 2000 1800 mm–max 2000 - (b)The angles and bends on transverse bars from end elevation shown below apply to all vehicles regardless of weight—
Note:
Angle Flexibility
A = 130–155 deg
B = 110–115 deg
- (c)The following longitudinal bars settings as shown from a side elevation—
- (d)The following transverse, longitudinal bars, emergency exit and luggage compartment settings from side elevation and also shown from plan view, are required—
