This document is applicable to the design, information for use, maintenance and testing of power-driven winches for which the prime mover is an electric motor, hydraulic motor, or pneumatic motor. Winches are designed for the movement or manipulation of loads supported on level or inclined planes in situations where risks resulting from a failure of the winding mechanism or pulling medium are mitigated by external measures. This document is not applicable to devices which handle suspended loads. Generally, a winch is used without any additional transport movement, except in cases where a winch is used on a stranded vehicle for self-recovery of the vehicle. Applications of winches covered are for example, but not limited to: a) rope winches; b) belt winches, except steel belts used as pulling media; c) traction winches, including double capstan and traction sheave winches. These types of winches a) to c) also include the following specific applications: — vehicle recovery winches; — winches for boat trailers; — winches for stationary offshore applications. NOTE Examples are shown in Annex H. This document does not apply to: — power-driven hoists in accordance with EN 14492-2; — forestry winches in accordance with EN ISO 19472-1; — winches for seagoing vessels and mobile offshore units; — winches for the lifting of persons; — NGL building hoists in accordance with EN 14492-2; — winches for the handling of hot molten masses. This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events relevant to power driven winches when used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable, identified in Annex A. This document does not specify additional requirements for hazards related to the use of power driven winches in explosive atmospheres in underground mines.

This document specifies safety requirements and the means for their verification for driverless industrial trucks (hereafter referred to as trucks) and their systems. Examples of driverless industrial trucks (trucks as defined in ISO 5053‑1:2020) include: “automated guided vehicle”, “autonomous mobile robot”, “bots”, “automated guided cart”, “tunnel tugger”, “under cart”, etc. This document is also applicable to driverless industrial trucks which are provided with: —   automatic modes which either require operators’ action(s) to initiate or enable such automatic operations; —   the capability to transport one or more riders (which are neither considered as drivers nor as operators); —   additional manual modes which allow operators to operate the truck manually; or —   a maintenance mode which allows manual operation of truck functions for maintenance reasons. This document is not applicable to trucks solely guided by mechanical means (rails, guides, etc.) or to remotely-controlled trucks, which are not considered to be driverless trucks. For the purposes of this document, a driverless industrial truck is a powered truck, which is designed to operate automatically. A driverless truck system comprises the control system, which can be part of the truck and/or separate from it, guidance means and power system. Requirements for power sources are not covered in this document. The condition of the operating zone has a significant effect on the safe operation of the driverless industrial truck. The preparations of the operating zone to eliminate the associated hazards are specified in Annex A. This document is applicable to all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events during all phases of the life of the truck (ISO 12100:2010, 5.4), as listed in Annex B, relevant to the applicable machines when it is used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. In particular, this document does not apply to significant hazards related to: —   noise; —   vibrations; —   ionising and non-ionising radiation; —   laser radiation; —   sales literature (commercial documents); —   declaration of vibrations transmitted by mobile machinery. It does not apply to additional hazards that can occur: —   during operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, freezer applications, strong magnetic fields); —   during operation in nuclear environments; —   from trucks intended to operate in public zones (see in particular ISO 13482:2014); —   during operation on a public road; —   during operation in potentially explosive environments; —   during operation in military applications; —   during operation with specific hygienic requirements; —   during operation in ionizing radiation environments; —   during the transportation of (a) person(s) other than (the) intended rider(s); —   when handling loads the nature of which can lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metals, acids/bases, radiating materials); —   for rider positions with elevation function higher than 1 200 mm from the floor/ground to the platform floor. This document does not contain safety requirements for trailer(s) being towed behind a truck. This document does not contain safety requirements for elevated operator trucks. This document does not apply to trucks manufactured before the date of its publication.

This document specifies requirements for design, calculation, examinations and tests of hydraulic powered loader cranes and their mountings on vehicles or static foundations. This document applies to loader cranes designed to be installed on: - road vehicles, including trailers, with load carrying capability; - tractors (road or agricultural), where only a towed trailer has capability to carry goods; - demountable bodies to be carried by any of the above; - other types of carriers (e.g. separate loaders, crawlers, rail vehicles, non-seagoing vessels); - static foundations. NOTE 1 A demountable body is a detachable frame designed to be carried by a vehicle or trailer. NOTE 2 A separate loader is a vehicle, with no load carrying capacity, equipped with a loader crane and designed to load or unload other vehicles and trailers. This document also applies to loader cranes equipped with special tools or interchangeable equipment (e.g. grapple, clamshell bucket, pallet clamp, etc.), as specified in the operator’s manual. This document does not apply to loader cranes used on board sea going vessels or to articulated boom system cranes which are designed as total integral parts of special equipment such as forwarders. The hazards covered by this document are identified in Clause 4. This document does not cover hazards related to the lifting of persons. NOTE 3 The use of cranes for lifting of persons can be subject to specific national regulations. This document is not applicable to loader cranes manufactured before the publication of this document. For loader cranes designed before the publication of this document, the provisions concerning stress calculations in the version of EN 12999 that was valid at the time of their design, are still applicable.

This document specifies the safety requirements of self-propelled rough-terrain variable-reach trucks (hereafter referred to as trucks), intended to handle loads, equipped with a telescopic lifting means (pivoted boom), on which a load handling device (e.g. carriage and fork arms) is fitted. For the purpose of this document, rough-terrain variable-reach trucks are designed to transport, lift and place loads and can be driven on unimproved terrain. Fork arms are considered to be part of the truck. Trucks can also be equipped with a variety of attachments (e.g. bale spikes, mowers, sweepers). This document deals with all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the trucks when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Annex A). This document does not apply to: — slewing rough-terrain variable-reach trucks covered by EN 1459 2:2015+A1:2018; — rough-terrain variable-reach tractors covered by prEN 17968:2025; — industrial variable reach trucks covered by EN ISO 3691 2:2023; — lorry-mounted variable-reach trucks covered by ISO 20297 1:2017; — variable-reach trucks fitted with tilting or elevating operator position; — mobile cranes covered by EN 13000:2010+A1:2014; — machines designed primarily for earth moving, 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; — trucks designed primarily for container handling; — trucks on tracks; — trucks with articulated chassis; — attachments. This document does not cover sales literature. This document does not address hazards linked to: — operation of the truck from a position other than the normal operating position; — operation of the truck by a remote control; — gas power systems; — gasoline engine systems; — autonomous functions; — self-evolving behaviour; — hybrid or battery power systems having a voltage greater than 32 V DC or 21 V AC r.m.s. NOTE EN 1459-7:2026 deals with hybrid and battery power systems having a voltage greater than 32 V DC or 21 V AC r.m.s. This document does not address hazards which may occur: a) when handling suspended loads which may swing freely (additional requirements are given in EN 1459 4:2020+A1:2025); b) when using trucks on public roads; c) when operating in potentially explosive atmospheres (additional requirements are given in EN 1755:2024); d) when operating underground; e) when fitted with a personnel work platform (additional requirements are given in EN 1459 3:2015 and EN 1459 9:2021); f) when using system capable of controlling the speed of the truck as set by the operator (cruise-control).
