Frame and Chassis

3.3

3.4 Mounting Frame

– A mounting frame or structure with the function of a

mounting frame is required for all 2ND bodies for

proper connection between the chassis and body

(exception: self-supporting bodies and mounting

frames as floor assembly).

– The longitudinal frame members should be level and

contact the upper cord of chassis frame, following the

course of the frame.

– For 10,200 GVWR Sprinter, types 3 500:

The longitudinal chassis-frame members are bent

inwards in the area of the rear axle. The 2ND body

longitudinal frame members do not have to follow this

bend, but may continue though in a straight line.

Do not use wood strips between the longitudinal

chassis-frame and longitudinal 2ND frame members.

– Position mounting frame cross members above the

chassis frame cross members.

– Use bevelled U-Channels for the longitudinal

members or commercially available U-channels for

closed box section vehicle design (do not use rolled

steel channels).

– The dimension for the longitudinal members can be

calculated from the required moment of resistance

) for the body and the chassis. See diagram on

page 3.6 (Section 3.4.3).

The specified sectional models and channel dimensions

assume that the longitudinal frame members are loaded

uniformly on both sides.

If a number of bodies are installed on one chassis

(e.g. platform and loading tailgate), the greater of the

specified moments of resistance must be used for the

mounting frame.

Disregarding these directions may seriously harm

the structural integrity of the vehicle, its road

worthiness and its safety. This may lead to an

accident and serious injury or death.
