Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see
www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 110, Industrial trucks, Subcommittee
SC 2, Safety of powered industrial trucks.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 6055:2004), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— for stand-on controlled trucks, vertical clearance has been increased, from the platform to the
underside of the overhead guard;
— requirements for rough terrain variable-reach trucks have been excluded;
— specifications and test requirements have been added for transparent material used to bridge
openings in the top of the overhead guard structure not conforming to 4.3.1;
— information for use in relation to the inspection of structure and inspection and care of transparent
material has been added.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

4 Requirements for overhead guards on ride-on trucks
4.1 General
This clause applies to trucks fitted with masts and industrial variable-reach trucks where the operator
position is protected by the boom, i.e. the mast or boom prevents the truck from tipping more than a
nominal 90°.
4.2 Protected area
4.2.1 The overhead guard shall extend over the operator when in the normal operating position(s) as
defined in ISO 3691-1 and ISO 3691-2 and when the operator is operating the controls as provided by
the truck manufacturer. For overhead guards fixed to the mast, this also applies when the mast is tilted.
The overhead guard shall not extend beyond the plan view outline of the truck.
The control levers in their neutral position, the pedals in their released condition and the steering wheel
are considered protected if they do not project in the direction of the mast more than 150 mm beyond
the vertical projection of the outline of the overhead guard onto a horizontal plane; see Figure 1.
Adjustable steering wheel position for the driving mode shall be placed in the centre position. No
account is taken of the parking brake lever in its foremost position in relation to the mast.

Figure 1 — Satisfactory protection by the overhead guard
Any part of the operator’s leg or feet, in the normal operating position, that projects more than 150 mm
beyond the front of the overhead guard when vertically projected onto a horizontal plane shall be
protected by a structure. The test procedure for the structure is described in 4.4.5.
4.2.2 Failure of the tilting mechanism shall not directly, or indirectly, cause the operator to be in
danger because of the overhead guard.
4.3 Dimensions
4.3.1 Openings in the top of the overhead guard shall not permit a sphere larger than 150 mm
diameter to pass through the openings.
4.3.2 If transparent material (for example glass) is used to bridge openings in the top of the overhead
guard structure that do not conform to 4.3.1 the transparent material shall conform to 4.4.4.
4.3.3 For trucks on which the operator is seated, the vertical clearance from the seat index point (SIP)
in accordance with ISO 5353 to the underside of the section of the overhead guard under which the
operator’s head is located when the operator is in the normal operating position, shall not be less than
903 mm.
NOTE 1 The distance of 903 mm (
