1 Scope
This document applies to pedestrian propelled industrial platform trucks as defined in 3.1 with a rated
capacity up to and including 500 kg, hereinafter referred to as “trucks” and designed for general
purposes.
This document does not apply to:
• shopping trolleys referred to in EN 1929, Parts 1 to 4 and 7 (CEN/TC 291);
• roll containers referred to in EN 12674, Parts 1 to 4 (CEN/TC 261);
• trucks that are intended to be towed by powered vehicles, e.g. milk-run-trains/trailer trains/tugger
trains.
This document deals with the technical requirements to minimize the hazards listed in Clause 4 which
can arise during commissioning, operation and maintenance of trucks when carried out in accordance
with the specifications as intended by the manufacturer.
This document does not establish the additional requirements for:
• operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme environmental conditions such as: freezer applications,
high temperatures, corrosive environment);
• operation subject to special rules (e.g. potentially explosive atmospheres);
• handling of loads the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metal,
acids/alkalis, radiating materials, especially brittle loads);
• hazards occurring during construction, transportation, decommissioning and disposal;
• direct contact with foodstuffs;
• operation on gradients or on surfaces other than smooth, level, hard surfaces;
• trucks designed for special applications: trucks used in hospitals, dinner, trolley;
• trucks fitted with hinged or sliding doors.
Other possible limitations of the scope of other standards referred to that also apply to this document.
Hazards relevant to noise, vibration, visibility and static electricity are not dealt with in this document.
This document applies to trucks manufactured after the date of issue.

4 Requirements
4.1 Design and construction forces for truck
The design and construction of the truck shall be such that the maximum forces required for truck
function (propelling, steering) shall not exceed the values given in Table 1 (see 5.2.3).
Table 1 — Maximum allowed forces
Test load Propelling Steering
 Starting Rolling
kg N N N
250 150 75 150
500 200 100 200
The values in Table 1 are pure design values for the truck and should not be confused with actual
operating forces in the work place (see 6.1.3).
4.2 Propelling, steering
4.2.1 General
Push/pull handle(s) either vertical or horizontal and/or a tiller shall be provided to allow an operator
to push, pull and steer the truck.
4.2.2 Tiller
The tiller shall be provided with a handle of the closed loop type or otherwise designed to ensure lateral
protection of the operator’s hands.
The hand grips shall be of a cross section enclosed within the space between two concentric circles of
25 mm inside diameter and 35 mm outside diameter and provide a minimum span of 200 mm for each
hand.
The upper part of the tiller handle shall conform to the dimensions shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
When pulling the horizontal distance between the end of the tiller and the front of the wheel (Figure 2)
shall be more than 500 mm, the handle axis being positioned within 700 mm to 1 000 mm height.
The tiller shall automatically and gently return to the upper rest position when released.

• by design e.g. for verification of drawings and documents;
• by measures e.g. of propelling and steering forces as shown in Table 1 and Annex A and tests
described in 5.2.2 and 5.3.
Tests shall either be performed by operating the truck in the manner prescribed below or, where
practicable, be simulated by any method giving an equivalent effect and producing substa
