The swap bodies as complete units shall be capable of withstanding the loads and loadings specified in EN283. 5 Mandatory features 5.1 General General cargo swap bodies of class A shall be equipped with the following features: bottom fittings (see5.2 and5.3) grappler arm lifting areas (s
31、ee5.4.1) side bottom lifting apertures (see5.4.2) load transfer areas (see5.5). 5.2 Bottom fittings Swap bodies shall be equipped with four bottom fittings, located in a horizontal plane and presenting an oblong aperture for connection to the trailer or wagon. The aperture of the fittings shall comp
32、ly with ISO1161; the basic dimensions are specified in Figure 2. No part of the swap body shall protrude beyond the base reference plane of the swap body. NOTEThe base reference plane of the swap body is the plane defined by the lower surface of the fittings. 5.3 Additional fittings 5.3.1 Dimensions
