4 Strength requirements
The strength requirements for non-stackable swap bodies are given in EN 283.
5 Design Requirements
5.1 Bottom fittings
5.1.1 Swap bodies shall be equipped with four bottom fittings positioned in accordance with Figure 1 and
Table 1.
5.1.2 The apertures and basic dimensions of the bottom fittings shall comply with Annex A.
5.2 Grappler arm lifting areas
5.2.1 Swap bodies shall be equipped with four grappler arm lifting areas located as shown in Figure 2. A
