Rough-terrain trucks - Safety requirements and verification - Part 2: Slewing variable-reach trucks

This European Standard (prEN 1459-2) specifies the general safety requirements of slewing variable-reach rough-terrain trucks, 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.

Geländegängige Stapler - Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Verifizierung - Teil 2: Schwenkbare Stapler mit veränderlicher Reichweite

Diese Europäische Norm legt die allgemeinen sicherheitstechnischen Anforderungen an geländegängige schwenkbare Stapler mit veränderlicher Reichweite (im Folgenden als Stapler bezeichnet) fest, bestehend aus einem abgesenkten Fahrgestell mit schwenkbarem oberen Aufbau mit einem Teleskophubarm als Hebevorrichtung (Schwenkhubarm), an der in der Regel ein Lastaufnahmemittel (z. B. Trägerplatte und Gabelzinken) angebracht ist.
Gabelzinken werden in dieser Europäischen Norm behandelt und gelten als Teile des Staplers.
Diese Europäische Norm behandelt alle signifikanten Gefährdungen, Gefährdungssituationen und Gefährdungsereignisse, die auf Stapler zutreffen, wenn sie bestimmungsgemäß und unter Bedingungen von durch den Hersteller vernünftigerweise vorhersehbaren Fehlanwendungen verwendet werden (siehe Anhang A).
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für:

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. 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, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. EN 1459, Rough-terrain trucks — Safety requirements and verification, consists of the following parts: — Part 1: Variable-reach trucks — Part 2: Slewing variable-reach trucks — Part 3: Interface between the variable-reach truck and the work platform — Part 4: Additional requirements for variable reach trucks handling suspended loads — Part 5: Additional requirements for attachments and attachment interface — Part 6: Risk assessment methodology and control system performance level determination (CEN/TR) — Part 7: Test method and determination of noise emission (in development) According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. SIST EN 1459-2:2015



EN 1459-2:2015 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard covers general safety requirements and the means for verification of these requirements for slewing rough-terrain variable-reach trucks. For the purpose of this European Standard, slewing rough-terrain variable-reach trucks are primarily 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 SI units, and this includes metric units. Acknowledging that, at the time of publication, the requirements included in this European Standard do not represent the state of the art, a transition period of 18 months is permitted after the date of publication, such that manufacturers can develop their products sufficiently to meet the requirements of this European Standard. This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events are covered are indicated in the scope of this document. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard. SIST EN 1459-2:2015



EN 1459-2:2015 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the general safety requirements of slewing variable-reach rough-terrain trucks (here-after referred to as trucks), consisting of a lower chassis with a slewing upper structure 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 are covered by this European Standard and considered to be parts of the truck. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the trucks when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Annex A). This European Standard does not apply to: — variable-reach rough terrain trucks covered by prEN 1459-1 (non-slewing); — industrial variable-reach trucks (covered by prEN ISO 3691-2); — lorry-mounted variable-reach trucks; — variable reach trucks fitted with tilting or elevating operator position; — mobile cranes (covered by EN 13000); — 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; — trucks designed primarily for container handling; — trucks on tracks; — attachments (prEN 1459-5). This European Standard does not address hazards linked to: — hybrid power systems; — gas power system; — trucks equipped with gasoline engine; — battery power system; — tractor specific devices (e.g. PTO). This European Standard does not address hazards which may occur when: a) handling suspended loads which may swing freely (additional requirements are given in prEN 1459-4); b) using trucks on public roads; c) operating in potentially explosive atmospheres; SIST EN 1459-2:2015
