Lengthening and shortening of the wheelbase

The operation

Lengthening and shortening of the wheelbase

The operation varies with the vehicle and consists of cutting the chassis or moving the drive axle.

The wheelbase is lengthened when the equipment to be fitted needs more room on the chassis, and shortened when the vehicle has to manoeuvre in confined spaces.

The work follows the specifications issued by the manufacturers, which is a necessary requirement for the type approval of the vehicle.
