On standard cab vehicles, intended exclusively for road use, box- bodies are usually fitted on a support structure comprisinglongitudi- nal runners and cross members. The minimum dimensions of the longitudinal runners are specified in Table 3.4. Table 3.4 (1) = on the version with a long cab, use a section with Wx no less than 57 cm 3 . The attachment is carried out using the brackets arranged on the vertical web of the side members.
If such brackets have not been provided by Iveco, they must be installed according to the specifications given in point 3.3. In order to provide an adequate lengthwise securing when brackets or clamps are used, it is good common practice to arrange a rigid joint (one on each side) on the rear over- hang, using cleat plates on the web or bolts on the upper flange of the side member (see Figures 3.13 and 3.14). The front of the body must be able to withstand the force applied to it by the transported load during sharp braking.
