Robust, durable and ideal for mounting bodies – the frame
Frame
The high-strength and yet elastic frame design of the Actros is light and practical to use while taking into account the requirements of day-to-day operation.
Further advantages:
- Three frame side rail thicknesses of 7 mm, 8 mm or 9.5 mm, depending on the vehicle model.
- Material: cold-worked, high-strength steel E 500 TM. Cross members and side rails are interconnected by means of riveted gusset plates.
- Easy to install with the same frame profile throughout and straight upper edge with no projecting components.
- Universal 50 mm hole spacing for easy mounting of attachments.
- Good corrosion protection thanks to coating of all surfaces.
- The frame taper is located 1,350 mm behind the centre of the first front axle.
- Bolted, therefore repair-friendly, frame front section.
