Safety of industrial trucks - Test methods for measuring vibration

This European Standard is a type test procedure for establishing the values of vibration emission
transmitted to the whole body of operators of industrial trucks under specified conditions. It is not
applicable to hand-arm vibration.
This standard is applicable to powered industrial trucks listed in ISO 5053:1987. The annex A is
applicable for "all-terrain" trucks. It also applies to other powered industrial trucks not covered by
ISO 5053:1987, e.g. variable-reach trucks and "low-lift" "order picking" trucks, etc.
NOTE The standard may however be useful also for existing trucks.
This standard is not applicable to non-stacking "low-lift" straddle carriers (as specified in 3.1.3.2.3 of
ISO 5053:1987) and stacking "high-lift" straddle carriers (as specified in 3.1.3.1.11 of ISO 5053:1987).
The test results, however, are not applicable to the determination of whole-body vibration exposure.

chariots à poste de conduite élevable à faible hauteur de levée, etc.
NOTE La présente norme peut cependant aussi être utile pour les chariots existants.
La présente norme ne s’applique pas aux chariots cavaliers élévateurs non gerbeurs (comme spécifié dans 3.1.3.2.3

Les résultats de ces essais ne sont cependant pas applicables pour la détermination de l'exposition aux vibrations

The aim of this standard is to provide a method for the measurement of vibration emission transmitted to the whole body of operators of industrial trucks which will enable the information requirements of the Machinery Directive to be satisfied. It is intended that the results obtained also can be used to compare industrial trucks of the same category or a given truck when equipped with different seats or tyres, etc. This standard cannot be used for field measurements to determine the daily exposure of the operator to vibration. For the measurements trucks shall be fitted with equipment corresponding to that offered by the manufacturers on the standard truck data sheet (lifting devices, batteries, etc.). Type test measurements require accurate and reproducible results. It is essential that different establishments obtain comparable results within specified limits. This requires that the process or way in which the machinery is used during the measurement is precisely defined. This process will reproduce the whole-body vibration values typical of the machinery when in normal travelling use. In the case of industrial trucks, there may be three predominant operating modes: travelling, lifting and engine idling; of these, only travelling exposes the driver to significant whole-body vibration. Therefore, in accordance with EN 1032, the test for whole-body vibration is based on the travelling operating mode. Research has shown that the magnitude of hand-arm vibration on the steering wheel or control levers of trucks will normally be lower than 2,5 m/s2. Therefore no test method has been developed for its measurement. In practice, exposure over a working day is a mixture of the three modes and the average vibration values will generally be lower than the values given by this standard. Fitting the industrial trucks with different seats, changing the tyres, etc. can lead to different vibration values. Due to the specific operation of industrial trucks however, the existing EN 1032 standard cannot be applied directly, so that preparation of this standard for industrial trucks became necessary. Although studies showed that it is possible to obtain repeatable and representative results with all-terrain trucks tested on an artificial test track, this family of trucks is covered by Informative annex A. The reason is that an inexplicable difference of about 20 % was found in the emission from one truck when it was tested at two different times of the year. Further consideration should be given to including all-terrain trucks in the normative section of the standard when more data is available for these trucks. For the verification of the measurements the uncertainty is fixed at 0,3 times the vibration emission value reported in accordance with EN 12096. Further consideration should be given to revise this range of uncertainty when emission vibration data obtained from different places is available.
NOTE The standard may however be useful also for existing trucks. This standard is not applicable to non-stacking "low-lift" straddle carriers (as specified in 3.1.3.2.3 of ISO 5053:1987) and stacking "high-lift" straddle carriers (as specified in 3.1.3.1.11 of ISO 5053:1987). The test results, however, are not applicable to the determination of whole-body vibration exposure. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.
