Industritruckar

This document establishes the vocabulary of accessories and components of industrial trucks (hereafter referred to as trucks) as defined in ISO 5053‑1.
For the purposes of this document, both the terms accessories and components are describing parts and assemblies which are, or can be, fitted to a truck.
NOTE Accessories and components of typical industrial trucks are given in Annex B.

This document specifies the safety requirements and means of verification in addition to EN 1459-1:2017+A1:2020 and EN 1459-2:2015+A1:2018 as applicable, for rough-terrain variable-reach trucks (hereafter referred to as trucks) designed and intended for handling suspended loads which can swing freely in one or more directions. It is applicable to trucks covered by EN 1459-1:2017+A1:2020 and EN 1459-2:2015+A1:2018.
This document does not apply to:
- the lifting of suspended loads which by design of the load or the lifting attachments does not allow the load to swing freely in any direction;
- the handling of flexible intermediate bulk containers, as defined in ISO 21898:2004, carried under the forks of the truck or with attachments intended for this purpose;
- any attachments / means used for lifting personnel;
- lifting accessories;
- freight container handling trucks;
- mobile cranes (covered by EN 13000:2010+A1:2014).
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events, related to trucks handling a freely suspended load, 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 deal with load limiter for attachments.
This document is not applicable to rough-terrain variable-reach trucks designed and intended for handling suspended loads manufactured before the date of its publication.

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 does not apply 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:
a) during manufacture;
b) when handling suspended loads which may swing freely;
c) when using trucks on public roads;
d) when operating in potentially explosive atmospheres;
e) when operating underground.

This document specifies requirements for the truck side of the attachment interface of rough-terrain non-slewing and slewing variable reach trucks (hereafter referred to as "trucks") dealt with in EN 1459-1:2017+A1:2020, EN 1459-2:2015+A1:2018 and EN 1459-4:2020.
This document covers the interface for the attachments fitted to the telescopic boom carriage or mounted on the forks when it is used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. This document does not cover:
- interface for interchangeable equipment designed for lifting person(s) (covered by EN 1459-3:2015);
- interface for equipment for container handling (e.g. spreader);
- interface for equipment permanently installed on the machine and not intended to be removed by the user.
NOTE In this case, equipment becomes part of the truck.
This document does not give requirements for the completed assembly of a truck fitted with an attachment. This document does not address risks to parts of the truck other than the interface with the attachment.
This document is not applicable to interfaces manufactured before the date of its publication.
