Reinforcement Plate on Single Chassis Cab Vehicles
5.1.5 Cab Van Floor
NOTE: Cab Van Floor Models are currently only
available for use in Motor Caravan applications.
Please refer to general advice and warnings for
Chassis Cab. For the Cab Van Floor vehicle, the
following guidelines apply in addition:
•Design a sufficient connection in the B-pillar
area (sidewall to cab connection) as shown
in Figure E74864.
•The body side skirt reinforcements are the
main area where the floor and/or the sidewalls
of the conversion should be connected to.
For this purpose, use the holes and M8 weld
nuts provided on the top land and on the sides
of the side skirt reinforcements.
•It is recommended to use additional U-type
fixings around the main rails and cross
members for floor fixings wherever possible.
•For additional seat fixings behind the cab.
Refer to: 5.5 Seats (page 209).
(Figure E74532 Typical Design Principle for
Cab Van Floor Seat Frame fixing).
•It is not recommended to cut the side skirt
reinforcement for e.g. a doorstep.
Attachments to the base vehicle.
Refer to: 5.11 Frame and Body Mounting (page
222).

General
WARNINGS:
Do not to cut away any structural
member.
Equipped vehicles must be designed
to be stable under “worst case”
operating conditions with support
legs extended (if fitted).
The vehicle converter / modifier is responsible
for:
•Fitting decals, advising on the safe use of the
equipment
•Route electrical and hydraulics separately and
away from original Ford equipment
•Route electrical and hydraulics separately and
away from original Ford equipment
•Use suitable clip to fix on vehicle body and sub
frame
•Offer master switch in the cab to isolate the
hole system
Chassis Cab.
Refer to: 5.11 Frame and Body Mounting (page
222).
(Frame Drilling and Tube reinforcing)
Cranes and Platforms
It is recommended to mount Cranes and aerial
platforms on a full length sub-frame by using all
load compartment tie downs for Van, Bus and
Kombi as shown in Figure E75874 and all
reinforced holes on longitudinal rail for Chassis
Cabs as shown in Figure E75880.

It is recommended to design sub frames in way
that there is no adverse strain on the vehicle
structure. For fixing elements please refer to
Figures E75875 and E75876 for Van, Bus and
Kombi and Figure E74696 for Chassis Cabs.

DescriptionItem

Sub-frame Outriggers2
Floor of Van3
Load Compartment Tie Down (Load Lashing Point)4
Captive Compliant Bush5
For Van, Bus and Kombi:
•It is recommended to fix every mount with M8
bolt grade 8.8 minimum. For load
compartment tie down locations.
Refer to: 5.2 (page 200).
(Figures E74505 - E74508)
•It is recommended to fix sub-frame to the floor
at the load compartment tie downs only. Any
other floor contact should be padded to
prevent local stress and to allow function of
compliant mounts.
•It is not recommended to engineer through
the floor fixings to clamp around side
members.
•If the load compartment tie downs are not
suitable see, Frame Drilling and Tube
Reinforcing.
Refer to: 5.11 Frame and Body Mounting (page
222).
•Very stiff sub-frames should not be rigidly
mounted to the floor, please refer to Figure
E75876 for an example of a compliant mount.
Compliant bushes should allow up to +/-12mm
movement at a rate of 100kg per 1.0mm
deflection with only the rear pair of load
compartment tie down mounting brackets
being fixed.
•Support legs, if required, must be fitted directly
to the sub-frame
•Support legs must be designed to prevent any
adverse strain on the vehicle structure when
operating the equipment
CAUTIONS:
Safety devices must ensure the legs
are deployed when operating the
lifting equipment.
Safety devices must ensure the legs
are stowed and locked away prior
to engaging vehicle drive.
