    Submitted for recognition as an American National Standard

    (R) CURBSTONE CLEARANCE, APPROACH, DEPARTURE, AND RAMP


    BREAKOVER ANGLES—
    PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT TRUCK

    1. Scope—This SAE Recommended Practice applies to rigid bumper or rigid structure points and flexible
    components of passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, and light trucks. This document is intended
    as a guide toward standard practice and is subject to change to keep pace with experience and technical
    advances.

    1.1 Purpose—The purpose of this document is to provide minimum static design guidelines for curbstone
    clearance, approach, departure, and ramp breakover angles. This is to minimize damage, if any, in normal
    vehicle use conditions. This document also encompasses all current worldwide regulations and requirements.

    1.2 Field of Application

    1.2.1 PASSENGER CAR, MULTIPURPOSE PASSENGER VEHICLE (MPV), AND LIGHT TRUCK

    1.2.2 MINIMUM ANGLES AND CLEARANCES—Under the manufacturer’s most severe vehicle design load for each
    particular load condition, the minimum approach, departure, ramp breakover angles, and bumper-to-ground
    height, as indicated in Figure 1, shall be as follows:

    When measuring these dimensions, flexible bumper components such as air dams, lower valance panels,
    and fascias should be considered. The allowable approach angle to flexible components that are allowed
    nonstructural damage should be 13 degrees.

    2. References—There are no referenced publications specified herein.

    3. Definitions

    3.1 Passenger Car—Vehicles with motive power, except multipurpose passenger vehicles, motorcycles, or
    trailers, designed for carrying 10 persons or less.

    SAE Technical Standards Board Rules provide that: “This report is published by SAE to advance the state of technical and engineering sciences. The use of this report is entirely
    voluntary, and its applicability and suitability for any particular use, including any patent infringement arising therefrom, is the sole responsibility of the user.”

    SAE reviews each technical report at least every five years at which time it may be reaffirmed, revised, or cancelled. SAE invites your written comments and suggestions.

    A. Approach Angle (H106) 16 degrees


    B. Departure Angle (H107) 13 degrees
    C. Curbstone Height Clearance 203 mm (8 in)
    D. Ramp Breakover Angle (H147) 12 degrees

    FIGURE 1—MINIMUM ANGLES AND CLEARANCES

    3.2 Multipurpose Passenger Vehicle (MPV)—Vehicles with motive power, except trailers, designed to carry 10
    persons or less, which are constructed either on a truck chassis or with special features for occasional off-road
    operation.

    3.3 Truck—Vehicles with motive power, except a trailer, designed primarily for the transportation of property or
    special-purpose equipment.

    3.3.1 LIGHT TRUCK—Classification of self-propelled vehicles which are designed primarily to transport property or
    special-purpose equipment, and have a maximum gross weight rating (GVWR) of 4536 kg (10 000 lb) or
    less. GVWR is the value specified by the manufacturers as the loaded weight of a single vehicle.

    3.4 Bumper to Ground

    3.4.1 H102—FRONT BUMPER TO GROUND—The minimum dimension measured vertically from the lowest point on
    the front bumper to ground, including bumper guards if standard.

    3.4.2 H103—FRONT BUMPER TO GROUND—CURB WEIGHT—Measured in the same manner as H102.

    3.4.3 H104—REAR BUMPER TO GROUND—The minimum dimension measured vertically from the lowest point on
    the rear bumper to ground, including bumper guards if standard equipment.

    3.4.4 H105—REAR BUMPER TO GROUND—CURB WEIGHT—Measured in the same manner as H104.

    3.5 Angle of Approach (H106)—The angle measured between a line tangent to the front tire static-loaded radius
    arc and the initial point of structural interference forward of the front tire to ground. The limiting structural
    component shall be designated.

    3.6 Angle of Departure (H107)—The angle measured between a line tangent of the rear tire static-loaded radius
    and the initial point of structural interference rearward of the rear tire to the ground. The limiting component
    shall be designated.

    SAE J689 Revised JUN96

    3.7 Ramp Breakover Angle (H147)—The angle measured between two lines tangent to the front and rear tire
    static-loaded radius and intersecting at a point on the underside of the vehicle which defines the largest ramp
    over which the vehicle can roll.

    3.8 Parking Curbstone Height Clearance—The minimum curbstone clearance to any structure, mechanical, fuel
    tank, exhaust system, or any limiting component. The limiting components for this document are located
    forward of the front tires or rearward of the rear tires.

    4. Notes

    4.1 Marginal Indicia—The (R) is for the convenience of the user in locating areas where technical revisions have
    been made to the previous issue of the report. If the symbol is next to the report title, it indicates a complete
    revision of the report.

    SAE J689 Revised JUN96

    Rationale—Revisions from SAE J689 DEC89 are based on upgrades to comply with vehicle in-transit shipping
    and towing and recovery requirements.

    • The category “multipurpose passenger vehicles” has been included in light of the vehicles’ recent
    popularity.
    • All worldwide requirements and regulations have been considered.
    • The ramp breakover angles have been increased from 10 to 12 degrees to comply to the 12 degree
    breakover angle required for vehicles shipped by haulaway trailers to minimize damage.
    • While the 16 degree approach angle has been retained, the departure angle has been increased from
    10 to 13 degrees to comply with a 13 degree requirement for car carrier transports, which can load the
    vehicle from either front or rear.
    • 13 degree approach angle added for flexible components.
    • The height under Curb Height Clearance remains unchanged.

    Relationship of SAE Standard to ISO Standard—Not applicable.

    Application—This SAE Recommended Practice applies to rigid structural components of cars, multipurpose
    passenger vehicles, and light trucks. However, consideration should also be given to flexible
    components such as air dams, lower valence panels, aero shields, bumper covers, and fascias.

    Reference Section—There are no referenced publications specified herein.
