Patent ID: 7806438

Claim:
A frame structure for a load-carrying vehicle and comprising at least one frame member extending generally in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the frame member being divided into an upper section and a lower section by means of a slit extending at least along a predetermined section of the frame member, wherein the slit is shaped so as to allow a forced displacement of the upper section to a position in which it extends generally parallel to the lower section and in a manner so that the frame member is narrower along a section generally corresponding to the length of the slit, as compared with the remaining section of the frame member, wherein the upper section comprises a first row of holes along an imaginary upper line and the lower section comprises a second row of holes along an imaginary lower line, with the forced displacement of the upper and lower sections being such that the holes in the first row are brought into alignment with the holes in the second row in order to enable fixation of the upper section and the lower section relative to each other by fastening elements in the aligned holes.
