ISO 938:1975

Hand-operated stillage trucks - Principal dimensions

Specifies the dimensions of these trucks which are directly in relation to the corresponding dimensions of stillages. Defines the maximum height of truck, the maximum width of truck, the basic length of elevating frame and the lift.

Overview

ISO 938:1975 - "Hand-operated stillage trucks - Principal dimensions" is an International Standard that defines the principal dimensional parameters for hand-operated stillage trucks so they are directly compatible with corresponding stillages. First published in 1975 (transformed from ISO Recommendation R 938-1969), the standard establishes maximum truck height and width, the basic length of the elevating frame, and standard lift increments and tolerances to ensure interoperability between trucks and stillages.

Key topics

• Scope and purpose
  • Specifies principal dimensions of hand-operated stillage trucks that relate directly to stillage dimensions.
  • Ensures dimensional compatibility across manufacturers and users.
• Principal dimensions covered
  • Maximum width (B) - standard maximum widths include: 470 mm, 560 mm, 620 mm, 700 mm (corresponding inch values also given in the standard).
  • Basic length of elevating frame (C) - standard lengths include: 800 mm, 1 000 mm, 1 200 mm, 1 500 mm, 1 600 mm (with corresponding inch values).
  • Lift (D) - the standard specifies common lift increments and authoritative tolerances; tolerances and allowable deviations are defined to permit fitting of lifting devices.
  • Maximum height (A) - the standard defines the maximum truck height with the elevating frame lowered (A).
• Tolerances and special notes
  • The standard includes lift tolerances and notes that the upper deviation may be left free to permit hydraulic lifting devices.
  • Some dimensional requirements or notes apply only above specified load thresholds (the document references applicability above certain mass limits).

Applications

• Manufacturers and designers use ISO 938 to design hand-operated stillage trucks that are dimensionally compatible with standard stillages and lifting devices.
• Warehouse operators and logistics planners rely on standard dimensions to ensure that trucks and stillages interoperate safely and efficiently in storage and handling systems.
• Procurement and compliance teams reference the standard to specify equipment requirements and verify conformity.
• Safety and standards engineers use the dimensional rules to reduce mismatch risks, improving ergonomics, load stability, and workplace safety.

Related standards

• ISO 1756 - covers dimensional specifications of stillages that are intended to be transported by hand-operated stillage trucks (ISO 938 dimensions are defined in relation to ISO 1756).
• ISO/TC 110 - the technical committee responsible for industrial trucks and related standards.

Keywords: ISO 938, hand-operated stillage trucks, principal dimensions, stillages, elevating frame, lift tolerances, industrial trucks, ISO 1756.
