SIST EN 12312-10:2005+A1:2009

Aircraft ground support equipment - Specific requirements - Part 10: Container/Pallet transfer transporters

This European Standard specifies the technical requirements to minimise the hazards listed in Clause 4 which can arise during the commissioning, operation and maintenance of container/pallet transfer transporters when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorised representative. It also takes into account some performance requirements recognised as essential by authorities, aircraft and ground support equipment (GSE) manufacturers as well as airlines and handling agencies.
This European Standard applies to self-propelled container/pallet transfer transporters, with a seated driver.
Examples of typical transfer transporters are shown in Annex A.
This European Standard does not apply to:
-   loading equipment with a height adjustment capability in excess of 150 mm;
-   transporter-loaders (single platform loader with transporter capability, see EN 12312 9);
-   roller-bed transport platforms mounted on unmodified commercial road chassis.
This European Standard does not establish requirements for noise and vibration.
Noise and vibration are dealt with respectively in EN 1915 4 and EN 1915 3.
This European Standard is not dealing with hazards in respect to a standard automotive chassis and the traffic on the apron.
This Part of EN 12312 is not applicable to GSE which are manufactured before the date of publication by CEN of this European Standard.
NOTE   Certain measurements have been given in imperial units (in parentheses) following the metric measurements since the containers/pallets to be handled are based mainly on the imperial system.
This part of EN 12312 is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1915-1, EN 1915-2, EN 1915-3 (for vehicles) and EN 1915-4.

Luftfahrt-Bodengeräte - Besondere Anforderungen - Teil 10: Container-/Paletten-Transfer-Transporter

Diese Europäische Norm legt die technischen Anforderungen zur Minimierung der in Abschnitt 4 aufgelisteten
Gefährdungen fest, die bei der Inbetriebnahme, Betrieb und Wartung von Container-/Paletten-Transfer-
Transporter auftreten können, wenn diese in Übereinstimmung mit den Anweisungen des Herstellers oder
seines Beauftragten ausgeführt werden. Sie berücksichtigt auch einige Funktions- und Gestaltungsanforderungen,
die von offiziellen Stellen, Luftfahrzeug- und Bodengeräteherstellern sowie Luftverkehrs- und
Abfertigungsgesellschaften als wesentlich erachtet wurden.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Container-/Paletten-Transfer-Transporter mit eigenem Antrieb und aufsitzendem
Fahrer.
Beispiele für typische Transfer-Transporter sind in Anhang A enthalten.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für:
⎯ Ladeeinrichtungen mit einer möglichen Höhenanpassung von mehr als 150 mm;
⎯ Transporter-Hubfahrzeuge (Lader mit einer Plattform mit Transporterfähigkeit, siehe EN 12312-9);
⎯ Rollböden, die auf nicht modifizierten handelsüblichen Straßenfahrgestellen montiert sind.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält keine Festlegungen hinsichtlich Lärm und Schwingungen.
Lärm und Schwingungen werden in EN 1915-4 und EN 1915-3 behandelt.
Diese Europäische Norm behandelt keine Gefährdungen, die von einem Serienfahrgestellt und vom Verkehr
auf dem Vorfeld ausgehen.
Dieser Teil von EN 12312 gilt nicht für Luftfahrt-Bodengeräte, die hergestellt wurden, bevor diese Europäische
Norm durch das CEN veröffentlicht wurde.
ANMERKUNG Bestimmte Dimensionen sind nach den metrischen Angaben in Inch/Pfund angegeben (in Klammern),
da die Dimensionierung der verwendeten Container/Paletten hauptsächlich auf dem Inch-, Pfundeinheitensystem basiert.
!Es ist beabsichtigt, diesen Teil der EN 12312 in Verbindung mit EN 1915-1, EN 1915-2, EN 1915-3 (für
Fahrzeuge) und EN 1915-4 anzuwenden."

Overview

EN 12312-10:2005+A1:2009 - Aircraft ground support equipment (GSE) - Part 10: Container/Pallet transfer transporters - is a CEN European Standard that defines technical and safety requirements for self‑propelled container/pallet transfer transporters (with a seated driver) used to move Unit Load Devices (ULDs) on the apron. The standard’s objective is to minimise hazards during commissioning, operation and maintenance when equipment is used in accordance with manufacturer specifications. It applies to new GSE manufactured after CEN publication and excludes transporter‑loaders, high‑adjustment loading equipment (>150 mm), and certain road‑chassis platforms.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope & hazards: Lists significant hazards (see Annex B) and requires risk‑based measures in line with EN ISO 12100 principles.
• Platform design: Rollerized or equivalent platform to transfer ULDs; height adjustable to interface with a nominal 508 mm (20 in) interface (typical adjustment ~450–580 mm). Lead‑in rollers/edges to absorb transfer impact.
• Guides and stops: Fixed side guide rails (minimum 100 mm height), funnel lead‑ins, and roll‑off stops (minimum 50 mm height; typical maximum 100 mm) to contain ULDs.
• Conveying/operation: Powered conveying system divided into sections to move individual ULDs; manual release of drives without tools in case of power failure.
• Drive systems & mobility: Powered steering, inhibitors to prevent driving when load obstructs steering, capability to start loaded from rest up a 3° (5 %) incline, and minimum ground‑clearance considerations.
• Transportability: Lifting points and forklift pockets compatible with ISO 2328; towing/recovery points.
• Safety & user information: Emergency stops, operating speeds, driver accommodation, marking, warnings and instructions, plus verification and testing requirements.
• Annexes: Examples of transporter types (Annex A), functional conveyor requirements (Annex C), typical ULD data (Annex D) and relationships to EU Directives (Annexes ZA/ZB).

Applications and who uses it

• GSE manufacturers designing and certifying container/pallet transfer transporters.
• Airlines, ground handlers and handling agencies specifying safe, interoperable equipment for apron operations.
• Regulatory authorities and safety engineers assessing conformity with essential safety requirements.
• Maintenance teams and procurement for verifying lifting/towing, drive‑release and marking requirements.

Keywords: EN 12312-10:2005+A1:2009, container/pallet transfer transporters, aircraft ground support equipment, GSE, ULD, platform design, safety requirements.
