Superstructure

The "Special Low-Torsion body mounting system" for tank bodies is recommendable due to their strongness, torsion-resistant design, in particular for "Off-Road" operation under rough cross-country conditions.

The elastic connection between the truck chassis and the sub-frame provides a torsion-absorbing function.

This arrangement absorbs any stresses passing from chassis to tank.

The sub-frame is mounted to the truck frame in a way to ensure equal load distribution.

The sub-frame is hot-dip galvanized.
