Mounting plates & additional lighting

Additional lighting

For MAN trucks, a special mounting plate is necessary to mount front or side attachments.

They are available for all current and also older MAN models. In general, the mounting plates are painted ready for mounting. It is possible, however, particularly for older vehicles, to deliver a primed or untreated plate.

All plates are available in standard international sizes. For a perfect match with the mounted vehicle, they are generally vertically adjustable. Please note that only MAN approved plates can be fitted.

Two problems can arise when large pieces of apparatus are front mounted. Firstly, they can partly or entirely conceal the standard or supplementary headlights. Secondly, in darkness, the illuminated gear can distract the driver or even blind him.

To provide the best possible illumination of the carriageway and the working area when working with front mounted apparatus, for example, a snow plough, snow cutter or mower, additional headlights ought to be fitted either in front of the driver’s cabin or on the roof of the vehicle.

If fitted in front of the cab, the additional headlights are mounted immediately underneath the windscreen and serve as side lamps, indicators, full beam and dipped headlights. The working area can thus be illuminated without the driver being distracted by light reflected from the apparatus.

For rapid and simple roof mounting, a strong steel tube frame is fitted.

The following parts are mounted onto the roof rack:

N.B.: When purchasing the basic vehicle, do not forget to request MAN to prepare it in such a way that the mounting plates and auxiliary lighting can easily be added.
