The chassis with BDF frame

Standard BDF frames for trucks can be defied as additional equipment at the truck manufacturer (parking height and length of swap body) and a fitting, full air -suspended chassis will be found. Major data is the wheel base (due to charge axle load), the chassis frame height RH, the frame overhang at the back and the tires.

With the aid of this, the height and the function of the BDF frame (with or without adjustable height) will be chosen.

Important for the right choice is the combination of the ride height of the chassis (frame height RH plus overall height of the BDF frame B) and the parking height of the swap bodies in the fleet.

Please note:

To safely accommodate a parking height, the chassis has to be empty lifted maximum 80mm higher than the highest parking height. Otherwise it will be difficult to retract the support legs because of the tyre deflection and bumps.

BDF trailer and carriage

When choosing the trailer there are two types: the centre-axle trailer and the full trailers.

Usually the centre-axle trailer is used to transport the bigger swap bodies.

A coordination in accordance with valid local regulations with the used chassis and its driving heights and transporting length and loads is obligatory.
