The rear wall body material will be painted. Unpainted aluminum overlays will be provided to allow for <br />chevron application and to provide continuously smooth rear wall panels. <br />The outboard edges of the rear wall will be trimmed in polished stainless steel. <br />TOW EYES <br />Two (2) rear painted tow eyes will be located at the rear of the apparatus and will be mounted directly <br />to the chassis frame rails. <br />COMPARTMENTATION <br />Body and compartments will be fabricated of brushed and painted corrosion resistant, low carbon <br />austenitic 304L stainless steel. <br />Side compartments will be an integral assembly with the rear fenders. <br />Circular fender liners will be provided. For prevention of rust pockets and ease of maintenance the <br />fender liners will be formed from brush finished 304L stainless steel, be unpainted, and removable for <br />maintenance. <br />Side compartment flooring will be of the sweep out design with the floor higher than the compartment <br />door lip. <br />Drip protection will be provided above the doors by means of bright aluminum extrusion, formed bright <br />aluminum treadptate orpolished stainless steel. <br />The top of the compartment will be covered with bright aluminum treadplate rolled over the edges on <br />the front, rear and outward side. These covers will have the corners TIG welded. <br />Side compartment covers will be separate from the compartment tops. <br />All screws and bolts which are not Grade 8 will be stainless steel and where they protrude into a <br />compartment will have acorn nuts on the ends to prevent injury. <br />UNDERBODY SUPPORT SYSTEM <br />Due to the severe loading requirements of this pumper a method of body and compartment support <br />suitable for the intended load will be provided. <br />The backbone of the body support system will begin with the chassis frame rails which is the strongest <br />component of the chassis and is -designed for sustaining maximum loads. The support system will <br />include lateral frame rail extensions that are formed from .375" 80k steel and bolted to the chassis <br />frame rails with .625" diameter Grade 8 bolts. The vertical and horizontal members of the frame rail <br />extensions are to be_reinfarced-with welded gussets and extend to the outside edge of the body. <br />A stainless steel body structure will be mounted on the top of these supports to create a floating <br />substructure which will result in a 800 lb equipment support rating per lower compartment and provide <br />up to .25" accumulative floor thickness. <br />57 of 89 <br />
