1.Flat platform :
A flat structure consists of a floor blade with edge members and beams which are used to mount the engine
and suspension elements.
Tipper body - The prime requirement of any tipping body is that it shall be a rigid
unit capable of withstanding the rough usage to which the type of body is subjected.

Aluminium is used extensively for the construction of flat platform bodies for reasons of strength, durability
and lightness.
Many of the less expensive light chassis have cheaper factory build timber or steel bodies.
The aluminium body is used, to a greater extent, at the larger end of the range and on the more expensive
type chassis.
The floor is supported by cross bearer channels, the lipped channel or the J channel being used for most
applications.
Advantage of the J channel has is that floor fixing bolts are taken through the outstanding horizontal flange
and the holes drilled to take the bolts through this flange do not weaken the channel in bending strength.
Normal depth of a cross-bearer is 101.60mm
76.20mm depth may be used for light duty bodies.
Cross-bearer spacing is generally at about 558.8mm
In the case of brick lorries, cross-bearer
spacing should be restricted to 457.2mm
A special rear bearer, incorporating a shroud plate is sometimes used.
The shroud plate allows bracket attachment to the longitudinal and also provides protection for the end of the
floor planks.
Bearers are solid riveted or bolted to the longitudinal using angle brackets or special mounding brackets.
The cross bearers are capped longitudinally by side rave section and are bolted or solid riveted to the bearers
through top and bottom flanges.

Two types of side rave are available,one with a chock rail and
one without.

A drop side body is a flat platform with hinged sides and tailboard,
held in the upright position by fastening to short vertical pillars that
are generally removable.
The sides are normally made up by interlocking hollow plank sections
.

Tanker body:
Commodities carried by tanker includes fuel, oils, milk, water, varnish and edible oils etc. In the case of fuel
transport, to ensure safe handling, internal baffle plates are used to cut down the surge of liquid.
USES OF TANKER BODY:
Used to transport goods like,detergent,varnish,edible oil,resins,fat,sugar in solution,liquid gaseous,fuel, oil, milk and
water in bulk.

It is mainly composed of the truck chassis, water inlet,outlet system and the water tank body.
It is a cylindrical, horizontal tank mounted onto the truck chassis
A water tank truck is mostly used for storing water and transporting the same to some places where there is
an urgent need for water.
A sprinkler water tank truck is used for making the city environment clean and beautiful by cleaning and
watering the streets, plants, and grass.
Water tank trucks have different volume capacity.
The rear sprinkler, and side spraying of a water tank body are made possible with the tank's fire hose
coupling, working platform, and self-discharge valve.
A rotatable water cannon is installed on the working platform to create various spraying functions and
adjustments to create mist, drizzle, moderate rain, or heavy rain depending on the different purposes and
environment.
It is made of various materials such as stainless steel,carbon steel, aluminum, and fiberglass-reinforced
plastic.
The rigid steel body is further sprayed with superior quality special paint to allow it to be more solid and safe.
FUEL TANKS:

chemical liquid tank truck is designed to carry corrosive, hazardous chemical liquids .
It is mainly composed of a chassis, tank body,discharge system, as well as some protective devices.
The tank can be constructed of carbon steel,stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or other materials,according to
the specific properties of the transporting medium.
Some tank trucks can carry a variety of products at once due to their internal divisions in their tank,allowing
for an increased number of delivery options

ELLIPTICAL SECTION:
Elliptical tank
Used for a wide range of purposes, Elliptical tanks are a popular form for tanks that hold large volumes of
liquids.
Low Center of Gravity
Capacity
A tank made in an elliptical shape provides a low center of gravity when it is placed on its
side.
11/17
For holding large loads of liquids, that distribution of a tank's contents is particularly effective at providing stability.
The low center of gravity also allows tanks located on truck trailers to sit lower to the ground, providing better sight
lines for truck drivers.
An elliptical tank has significantly greater capacity than a round tank with the same diameter
BULKHEADS:
Some large tanks are divided into several smaller tanks by bulkheads.
Bulkheads are liquid-tight separators between compartments inside the tank
BAFFLED TANKS:

The frame is usually made from pressed steel channel section and the body may be flat or a van. the van body may
have rear doors or side doors, or in some models both, for loading and unloading. A pull down step is sometimes
used to enter and leave the van, the step being of the internal type on tn vehicles where high standards of hygiene
are required. Roller shutters or up-and -over doors are used for full-width rear access to the van interior.The power
unit is usually a petrol or CI engine.
Classification:
Panel vans
Production van
1.Standard van
2.Chassis cab
i)Tipper and drop sides
ii)Box van
iii)Luton head vans
3.Chassis dash
Panel vans:
14/17
The standard van arrangement is used for general local delivery work and, after body shell conversions and
interior fitting out, for ambulance, motor caravans and security vans.
Chassis cab:
15/17
Chassis dash arrangement is used extensively for integral body/cab walk-through type vans.
16/17
In forward control vehicle, engine is located either at the side or below the
drivers cab
This type has its cab built over the engine and has the advantage of
additional length available for the payload and a better
angle of vision.
Its disadvantages include less cab space for crew and
engine maintenance can be more difficult unless
specialized equipment is available or the cab is
designed to tilt forward.
A variation to forward control aimed at giving ease of
entry and exit for door to door delivery work and more
space for the crew is the semi forward control type.
