Roll containers - Part 2: General design and safety principles

This European standard specifies general design and safety principles for the four main styles of roll container - Demountable, Folding, Nesting and Rigid and the seven derived forms as defined in EN 12674-1:1999, "Roll containers - Terminology".
All styles of roll container defined in EN 12674-1 irrespective of the materials from which they are made should conform to the normative parts of this standard.
It is also applicable to dollys, as defined in EN 12674-1, whether or not intended for side frame or post fitment.
It is not applicable to the specialised use of fork lift and reach trucks with purpose-built roll containers.

Rollbehälter - Teil 2: Allgemeine konstruktive und sicherheitstechnische Grundlagen

Die vorliegende Europäische Norm legt allgemeine konstruktive und sicherheitstechnische Grundlagen für die vier Hauptbauarten von Rollbehältern - zerlegbare, klappbare, ineinander schiebbare und starre Bauart - sowie die sieben abgeleiteten Formen nach EN 12674-1; ?Rollbehälter - Teil 1: Terminologie" fest.
Alle in EN 12674-1 angegebenen Bauarten von Rollbehältern sollten, unabhängig vom Werkstoff aus dem sie gefertigt sind, den normativenTeilen der vorliegenden Norm entsprechen.
Sie ist genauso anwendbar auf Rollböcke nach EN 12674-1, die für eine Ausstattung mit Seitenrahmen oder in Form als Rungenrollbehälter vorgesehen sind.
Sie ist nicht anwendbar auf die spezielle Verwendung von Hubstaplern und Gabelschubstaplern mit anwendungsspezifisch gestalteten Rollbehältern.

Conteneurs a roulettes - Partie 2: Principes généraux de conception et de sécurité

La présente Norme européenne spécifie la conception générale et les principes de sécurité pour les quatre types de conteneurs a roulettes principaux : démontable, pliable, emboîtable et rigide et les sept versions dérivées telles que définies dans l'EN 12674-1, Conteneurs a roulettes - Terminologie.
Tous les types de conteneurs a roulettes définis dans l'EN 12674-1, quels que soient les matériaux dans lesquels ils sont réalisés, doivent etre conformes aux parties normatives de la présente norme.
La présente norme s'applique également aux plateaux roulants, tels que définis dans l'EN 12674-1 prévus ou non pour supporter des ridelles ou des montants.
Elle ne s'applique pas a l'utilisation spécialisée d'un chariot élévateur et de chariots a fourche rétractable équipés de conteneurs a roulettes conçus a cet effet.

EN 12674-2:2001 (E)3ForewordThis European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 261 "Packaging", the secretariat ofwhich is held by AFNOR.This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text orby endorsement, at the latest by June 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest byJune 2002.This standard will be part of a series of four standards for roll containers, no existing document is being replaced,other parts will be entitled as follows:Part 1 - Terminology;Part 3 - Test methods;Part 4 - Performance requirements.Annex A is informative.According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the followingcountries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden,Switzerland and the United Kingdom.SIST EN 12674-2:2002



EN 12674-2:2001 (E)4IntroductionRoll containers are equipment intended for moving goods.
They comprise apparatus fitted with fixed and/or swivelcastors. The superstructure comprises two or more frames which provide retention for items requiringtransportation and/or distribution.Roll containers are primarily designed for manual handling but may be designed to be moved by pallet trucks thatcomply with ISO 509 "Pallet trucks - Principal dimensions".
However, if alternative base facilities are integratedsuch roll containers may still meet all the requirements of this standard.
The special implications and hazardsposed by elevation and manipulation of roll containers by means of fork lift trucks is specifically excluded from thisstandard, such design features are a matter for the manufacturer and user.Dollies are included in EN 12674 since dollies can be manufactured for side frame fitment and need to be able towithstand additional loading stresses arising from this.
The end use of demountable roll containers and suchdollies are so close as to benefit from common test methods.The measurement of maximum starting force and continuous rolling resistance on a standard reference surfaceand also roll container manoeuvrability tests are specified in Part 3 of this standard.SIST EN 12674-2:2002



EN 12674-2:2001 (E)51 ScopeThis European standard specifies general design and safety principles for the four main styles of roll container -Demountable, Folding, Nesting and Rigid and the seven derived forms as defined in EN 12674-1, “Roll containers –Terminology”.All styles of roll container defined in EN 12674-1 irrespective of the materials from which they are made shouldconform to the normative parts of this standard.It is also applicable to dollies, as defined in EN 12674-1, whether or not intended for side frame or post fitment.It is not applicable to the specialised use of fork lift and reach trucks with purpose-built roll containers.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.
Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter.
Fordated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this EuropeanStandard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.
For undated references the latest edition of thepublication referred to applies (including amendments).EN 12674-1, Roll containers – Part 1: Terminology.3 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in EN 12674-1 apply.4 Essential dimensional features of roll containers4.1 Designation of plan dimensions: Length / width / direction of motionFor the purpose of designation of roll containers, length is the longest side and width is the shortest side.
Thedimension always expressed first is that dimension (length or width) that is parallel to the direction of motion(designated l or w).
The second dimension is that dimension at 90 to the direction of motion (designated l or w).llllwwww124lwwl3Figure 1 — Plan dimensions – designation of length / width / direction of motionFor a roll container with four swivel castors then the primary direction of motion as intended by the maker takesprecedence, as shown in Figure 1.SIST EN 12674-2:2002



EN 12674-2:2001 (E)6NOTEFour swivel castors create a much greater problem to control a roll container than two swivel and two fixed castors.1) Direction of motion - length direction (designated l x w)2) Direction of motion - width direction (designated w x l)3) Maker designated direction of primary motion - length direction (designated l x w)4) Maker designated direction of primary motion - width direction (designated
