AREQ - Addi onal Requirements for 614 – Cab and Chassis, 54,000 – 58,000 GVWR

1) Full steel insert 168” to 348” F/ 10-5/8” or 10-3/4” Medium Duty Steel Rail inserted/welded to inside of frame.

2) Rear facing mirrors must be mounted to the A-Pillar area of the cab of the vehicle.

3) Cab corner windows for increased visibility for backing in congested parking lots, campgrounds, and narrow winding roads.

Addi onal requirements for this vehicle are being requested a er researching op ons that will allow for safety and durability while opera ng this vehicle. The vehicle is primarily operated on rough, uneven road surfaces at speeds greater than 50 miles per hour. There are numerous steep winding grades that place extra torsion on the frame and axles.

The inner frame support rails welded to the main frame rails allow for extra stability and longer chassis life. The extra support will also allow for greater durability while naviga ng the bumpy, and uneven county roads with very few shoulders. The driver will also have more control during correc ve measures and maneuvering in a defensive driving situa on.

Rear facing mirrors mounted to the truck cab near the A-Pillar instead of the door provide greater visibility and fewer adjustments. The mirrors are relied upon in campgrounds and day use areas to safely navigate through narrow passageways and around parked vehicles to access dumpsters.

Mirrors are also necessary to provide safety to the driver while entering and exi ng the vehicle along busy roadways and in parking lots where traffic is heavy. Mirrors provide visibility in the most important areas of a rear loading garbage truck that must be backed into sites, allowing for safety of park visitors.
