Frame Chassis General Two different frames are used for the new Arocs depending on the field of application. Both start at the front with a uniform width of 900 mm (outside edges of longitudinal frame members), while the rear section is made in two different widths for air- sprung and steel-sprung vehicles: The frame of the steel-sprung Arocs is designed to be even more flexible to enable all the wheels to touch the ground even on very rugged terrain. The front axle of model 964 is 100 mm further back than on model 963 in order to allow large tires to be fitted.
834 mm for air-sprung vehicles used primarily for on-road operations 744 mm for steel-sprung vehicles operated primarily on construction sites and offroad The range of wheelbases for the new Arocs has been expanded significantly, so much longer and much shorter wheelbases are available than for the successful Actros construction vehicle. The wheel- base and rear frame overhang are variable at 300 mm intervals. The frame of the air-sprung Arocs (model 964) has the same dimensions as the frames of the Actros and Antos (model 963), but it is designed to be more torsionally flexible through various measures aimed at improving its offroad capabilities.
Body mounting options are assisted by a full-length 50 x 50 mm hole grid in the frame and application- specific attaching parts for flatbeds (C5I), dumper beds (C5J) and concrete mixers (C5K), or the shear- resistant mounting parts (C5H).
