Base Ford Flat Floor MY 14-

Chassis Extension Ford Transit Flat Floor from MY 2014 – the solid foundation for your body

The SMV chassis extension for the Ford Transit flat floor (from model year 2014) extends the vehicle frame rearwards, forming the load-bearing foundation for a rear bike rack, bike rack, or tow bar on your motorhome. It is aimed at motorhome converters and owners who require a robust mounting point at the rear on a flat-floor base. The chassis extension is made from hot-dip galvanised steel and is supplied at maximum length, allowing you to trim it precisely to your vehicle's dimensions.

Technical Features

• Base vehicle: Specifically designed for the Ford Transit with flat-floor chassis from model year 2014 (Mk8).
• Material: High-strength steel for a permanently load-bearing frame construction.
• Surface: Hot-dip galvanised for effective corrosion protection in demanding year-round use.
• Length: Supplied at a length of up to 1500 mm and can be individually trimmed to the respective vehicle's dimensions.
• Load capacity: Designed for a nose weight of up to 150 kg – sufficient for rear bike racks, scooter carriers, or e-bikes.
• Approval: Supplied with an EC certificate of conformity, simplifying TÜV approval.

Your Advantages

• Flexibly adjustable: As you trim the maximum length yourself to suit your vehicle, the extension fits your body precisely.
• Versatile: A stable mounting point for a tow bar (AHK), bike rack, or rear box on one vehicle.
• Long-lasting: The hot-dip galvanising protects the steel even under constant weathering.
• Legally compliant: The EC certificate of conformity facilitates registration-free or TÜV-compliant use.

Why do I need a chassis extension?

What does a chassis extension do? Many motorhomes on a flat-floor base come from the factory with no chassis extension, or only one with a low load capacity. This SMV chassis extension replaces it with a tested, load-bearing construction to which a rear bike rack and tow bar can be securely attached.

Compatibility

This chassis extension is designed for the Ford Transit with flat-floor chassis (van/panel van as a motorhome base).
