Chassis For Ford Model Vehicles
Introduction
A chassis
consists of an internal framework that supports a manmade object in its
construction and use. It is analogous to an animal's skeleton. An example of a
chassis is the underpart of a motor vehicle, consisting of the frame (on which
the body is mounted). If the running gear such as wheels and transmission, and
sometimes even the driver's seat, are included, then the assembly is described
as a rolling chassis.
Technologies Used
F-59
WALK-IN VAN CHASSIS
Specs
-The
single-channel ladder-type frame of the F-59 Commercial Stripped Chassis is
constructed of 36,000 psi steel.
Benefits
-Power and Handling
This is the equipment section you are
undoubtedly most familiar with because it contains the critical choices you'll
need to make in order to "spec out" the vehicle that will serve you
best: engines, wheelbases, transmissions, wheels, tires and more.
Safety
In addition to a host of standard safety
features, the F-53 Class A Motorhome Chassis and F-59 Commercial Stripped
Chassis models offer optional Hydro Max optional power 4-sensor ABS brake
assist to maximize stopping efficiency.

Chassis
Operation
A
chassis is defined as the most basic framework for a manmade structure.
Electrical engineers use a chassis to support circuit breaker boards. Another
common type of chassis the understructure of a car, truck, or sport utility
vehicle. At the most basic level, the chassis of an automobile consists of only
the frame. Sometimes the chassis will include not only the frame, but also the
wheels, transmission, and even the driver's side seat!
Needless
to say, the chassis is an incredibly important portion of the car. As important
as the chassis is, many drivers don't know much about it. A car chassis is the
most integral component in the final construction of any motorized automobile
apart from the engine itself. As well as act as the canvas onto which all of
the vehicle's parts are attached, it also provides invaluable structural
integrity which prevents the car from collapsing into itself under large
amounts of strain.
Central
Components
The
most important feature of an automobile chassis is the way in which
it anchors all of a car's key components, including the suspension system,
wheels, and car body. Contrary to popular belief, the painted body that
surrounds the exterior of the car is not actually a part of the chassis but
another part that depends on the chassis to stay functional. If the chassis
were weakened, it may play a huge safety risk for both the car and its driver.
This is why it is important to ensure that your car is structurally sound every
6 months.
Benefits
When
involved in a wreck, the chassis is what helps protect the driver from their
crumpling vehicle. Aside from the air bag and any other safety features, the
structural strength of an automobile chassis is the largest deterrent of more
serious automobile-related injuries.
Most
ford model chassis such as the F-53 and F-59 model chassis use a ladder based
designed chassis due to the simplicity of design and low cost construction.
