This European Standard specifies the general safety requirements of non-slewing variable-reach rough-terrain trucks, articulated or rigid chassis, equipped with a telescopic lifting means (pivoted boom), on which a load handling device (e.g. carriage and fork arms) is typically fitted.
Fork arms and other integrated attachments are considered to be parts of the truck. For attachments, the appropriate clauses of this standard are applicable and other specific standards may also apply.
This European Standard is not applicable to:
slewing variable-reach rough terrain trucks covered by prEN 1459-2
industrial variable-reach trucks covered by EN ISO 3691-2
lorry-mounted variable-reach trucks
variable-reach trucks fitted with tilting or elevating operator position
variable-reach rough terrain trucks designed for container handling
mobile cranes covered by EN 13000
machines designed primarily for earth moving such as loaders and dozers, even if their buckets and blades are replaced with forks (see EN 474 series)
trucks designed primarily with variable length load suspension elements (e.g. chain, ropes) from which the load may swing freely in all directions covered by prEN 1459-4
trucks fitted with personnel/work platforms, designed to move persons to elevated working positions covered by prEN 1459-3
trucks designed primarily for container handling
trucks incorporating tractor specific devices
trucks on tracks.
This European Standard does not address hazards linked to:
hybrid power systems
gas power systems
battery power systems.
This European Standard does not address hazards which may occur:
during manufacture;
when handling suspended loads which may swing freely;
when using trucks on public roads;
when operating in potentially explosive atmospheres;
when operating underground.
