7.2 Mounting frame

All bodies require a mounting frame or a substructure 
that assumes the function of a mounting frame to 
ensure a reliable connection between the chassis and 
the body.

Sub-frame

• Install the sub-frame as shown in Fig. 1 to gradually reduce the stress concentrations in the front end.  The 

front end of the sub-frame should be installed as close to the rear of the cab as possible.  Extend the sub-
frame as far toward the cab as possible when the rear body is installed far from the cab.

!

If more than one body or equipment item is 
mounted on the same chassis (e.g. platform and 
loading tailgate), the larger of the specified 
moments of resistance must be taken to determine 
the mounting frame.

(b) The shape of the sub-frame front end as shown in Fig. 2 is highly desirable.  However, if there is enough 

room behind the cab, the shape as shown in Fig. 3 is also acceptable.
