Ladder frame pickup truck chassis holds the vehicle's engine, drivetrain, suspension, and wheels The unibody - for the unitized body - is also a form of a frame. A vehicle frame, also historically known as its chassis, is the main supporting structure of a motor vehicle to which all other components are attached, comparable to the skeleton of an organism.
A Model T chassis ready for its body All steel chassis and all steel body Body by Edward G Budd Manufacturing Company of Philadelphia for John and Horace Dodge [1]. The Ford Model T carried the tradition of body-on-frame over from horse-drawn buggies, helping to facilitate high volume manufacturing on a moving assembly line. [2]
Platform chassis were not significantly more or less safe than contemporary ladder chassis, although much less safe in an impact than a modern design with a monocoque integrated into a passenger safety cell. They had a tendency in serious accidents for the complete bodyshell to separate from the chassis, as did the ladder chassis.
Cabin integrity is in part due to Mitsubishi's RISE monocoque chassis design that provides a markedly stiffer frame and cabin structure over typical body on-frame (ladder-chassis) vehicles. [55] Monocoque / unibody chassis designs typically offer excellent roll over protection as a result, though this was not an officially measured feature of ...
It is built on a "built-in ladder frame" monocoque body, which is claimed to "achieve balance between lighter weight, higher body rigidity, and comfort". [23] In European, South American and most other Asian markets, the model is sold under the name Terios.
The CTC-2 chassis of an RCA CT-100 television. A chassis (US: / ˈ tʃ æ s i /, [1] UK: / ˈ ʃ æ s i /; [2] plural chassis /-i z / from French châssis) is the load-bearing framework of a manufactured object, which structurally supports the object in its construction and function.
The 1961 Jaguar E-Type (XKE) used a tubular space frame–type front subframe to mount the engine, gearbox, and long bonnet/hood to a monocoque "tub" passenger compartment. Beginning with the 1960s, subframes saw regular production with General Motors ' X- and F-platform bodies, and the Astro/Safari mid-size vans.
The Massif is built as a body-on-frame construction with a ladder chassis, rather than a monocoque construction which is now common with most modern 4×4s. The chassis is based on the chassis used for the Iveco Daily van range. This layout is another similarity with Land Rover’s Defender.
