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;

-   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;

Foreword
This document (prEN 1459-1:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 150 “Industrial
Trucks - Safety”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1459:1998+A3:2012.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
EN 1459 consists of the following parts, under the general title Rough-terrain trucks — Safety requirements
and verification:
 Part 1: Variable-reach trucks
 Part 2: Rotating trucks
 Part 3: Additional requirements for variable reach trucks fitted with work platform
 Part 4: Additional requirements for variable reach trucks handling freely suspended loads
 Part 5: Additional requirements for attachments and attachment interface
Introduction
This European Standard covers general safety requirements and the means for verification of these
requirements for variable reach rough-terrain trucks (here-after also referred to as trucks) as defined in
EN 15830.
For the purpose of this Standard, variable reach rough-terrain trucks are designed to transport and place
loads to elevated work areas and can be driven on unimproved terrain.
Trucks may also be equipped with a variety of attachments (e.g., mower, sweeper).
All quantities are in metric units.
Considering the technical improvements to the previous version of EN 1459, a transition period of 12 months
is permitted after the date of publication, such that manufacturers can develop their products sufficiently to
meet the requirements of this European Standard.
