Rough-terrain trucks - Safety requirements and verification - Part 9: Variable-reach trucks equipped with work platforms having a front guard that can be opened

This document specifies the safety requirements for slewing and non-slewing rough-terrain variable-reach trucks defined by ISO 5053-1 (hereafter referred to as trucks) and their integrated interchangeable work platforms having front guards that can be opened for particular operations at height (hereafter referred to as work platform).
Controls can be also provided under specific circumstances at the operating position in the enclosed cab of the truck.
This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the combination when it is used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable. The significant hazards covered by this document are listed in Annex A.
This document does not address hazards which may occur:
a)   when using non-integrated work platforms or other attachments not designed for lifting persons;
b)   when handling suspended work platforms which may swing freely;
c)   when operating underground or in potentially explosive atmospheres.
This document does not cover trucks equipped with work platforms intended for leaving and re-entering at height.

Geländegängige Stapler - Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Verifizierung - Teil 9: Anforderungen an Stapler mit veränderlicher Reichweite mit Arbeitsbühnen, deren Frontschutzbügel geöffnet werden können

In diesem Dokument werden die Sicherheitsanforderungen für drehbare geländegängige Flurförderzeuge mit veränderlicher Reichweite und geländegängige Flurförderzeuge mit veränderlicher Reichweite nach ISO 5053 1 (im Folgenden als „Stapler“ bezeichnet), sowie ihre Arbeitsbühnen, deren Frontschutzbügel für das Entfernen von Dachmaterial geöffnet werden können (im Folgenden als „Arbeitsbühne“ bezeichnet), festgelegt.
Dieses Dokument behandelt die für die Kombination aus Stapler und integrierter Arbeitsbühne zutreffenden signifikanten Gefährdungen, Gefährdungssituationen und -ereignisse, wenn die Stapler bestimmungsgemäß und unter Bedingungen, die vom Hersteller als Fehlanwendung vernünftigerweise vorhersehbar sind, verwendet werden. Die signifikanten von diesem Dokument erfassten Gefährdungen sind in Anhang A aufgeführt.
ANMERKUNG 1 Zusätzliche Stellteile für Bewegungen des schwenkbaren oberen Aufbaus, des Auslegers und der Arbeitsbühne können unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen auch in der Betriebsstellung der geschlossenen Kabine des Staplers bereitgestellt werden.
Dieses Dokument behandelt keine Gefährdungen, die auftreten können:
a) durch Benutzung von nicht integrierten Arbeitsbühnen oder anderen nicht für die Personenbeförderung bestimmten Einrichtungen;
b) durch Befördern hängender Arbeitsbühnen, die frei pendeln können;
c) durch Benutzung unter Tage oder in explosionsgefährdeten Umgebungen;
d) durch Entfernen von Asbest hinsichtlich der möglichen Freisetzung von Fasern.
Dieses Dokument legt keine Sicherheitsanforderungen für Stapler mit Arbeitsbühnen fest, die zum Verlassen und Wiedereinsteigen in der Höhe vorgesehen sind.
ANMERKUNG 2 Für das Entfernen von Asbest können nationale Bestimmungen für Arbeitsplätze gelten, die sich mit dem Risiko in Verbindung mit der Freisetzung von Fasern befassen.

Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.

This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market

players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);

— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).

Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the

above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);

— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);

— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).

The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting

process of this document.

The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are

covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.

When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B

standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other

standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C

standard.
All quantities are in metric units.

For work platforms with front guards that can be opened, restraint devices (harness and lanyard) are

used as personal protective equipment (PPE) and are intended to be the protection against the risk of

falling; to reach this objective, requirements related to the length of the harness have been specified. Also,

protective measures are consequently provided in this document assuming that not connecting harness

to lanyard or lanyard to anchorage on the work platform is a foreseeable misuse, therefore requirements

related to monitoring the harnesses have been specified. It is also assumed that not wearing harness is a

foreseeable misuse, and warnings and information for use are required accordingly.

Work platforms having a front guard that can be opened at height are not intended for general work

activities and should only be used where they can be demonstrated to be the safest work method possible

for an activity.

EN 1459-9 covers platforms for roof material removal. It does not cover other platforms for other roofs

activities, which can have different technical solutions to cover the risk of falling.

1 Scope

This document specifies the safety requirements for slewing rough-terrain variable-reach trucks and

rough-terrain variable-reach trucks defined by ISO 5053-1 (hereafter referred to as trucks) and their

work platforms having front guards that can be opened for removal of roof material (hereafter referred

to as work platforms).

This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the

combination of the truck and the integrated work platform when it is used as intended and under

conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. The significant hazards

covered by this document are listed in Annex A.

NOTE 1 Duplicate controls for the slewing upper structure, the boom and the work platform movements can be

also provided under specific circumstances at the operating position in the enclosed cab of the truck.

This document does not address hazards which can occur:

a) when using non-integrated work platforms or other attachments not designed for lifting persons;

b) when handling suspended work platforms which can swing freely;
c) when operating underground or in potentially explosive atmospheres;
d) when removing asbestos, regarding the possible release of fibres.

This document does not specify safety requirements for trucks equipped with work platforms intended

for leaving and re-entering at height.

NOTE 2 National regulations for worksites can apply for asbestos removal to cover the risks related to the

possible release of fibres.
