(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—

    G–H1320 mm–max 16001750 mm–max 20001800 mm–max 2000
  • (b)The angles and bends on transverse bars from end elevation shown below apply to all vehicles regardless of weight—image

Note:

Angle Flexibility

A = 130–155 deg

B = 110–115 deg
