High rise aerial appliances for fire service use - Turntable ladders with combined movements - Safety and performance requirements and test methods

1.1   This European Standard specifies the safety and performance requirements and test methods applicable to turntable ladders with combined movements of classes 18, 24, 30 and > 30 to 56, as defined in 3.13, under the control of fire-fighters and intended for fire fighting and rescuing people.
NOTE   This European Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1846–1, EN 1846–2 and EN 1846–3.
Turntable ladder vehicles comprise a chassis, bodywork and a powered extending structure unit in the form of a ladder with or without a rescue cage.
Turntable ladder vehicles covered by this European Standard have a self-propelled chassis, the motor of which supplies the power necessary for the operation of the ladder and permits all of the operational movements to be made simultaneously, with no restriction on the angle of the slewing movement.

Overview

SIST EN 14043:2014 (EN 14043:2014) defines safety and performance requirements and test methods for high‑rise aerial appliances used by fire and rescue services - specifically turntable ladders with combined movements (ladder classes 18, 24, 30 and >30 to 56). The standard applies to self‑propelled turntable ladder vehicles where the vehicle motor supplies ladder power and allows simultaneous operational movements, with no restriction on slewing angle. It is intended to be used alongside EN 1846‑1, EN 1846‑2 and EN 1846‑3.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and environmental limits: Intended for normal use between −15 °C and +35 °C and wind velocity on the ladder ≤ 12.5 m/s; special climates require agreement between manufacturer and purchaser.
• Safety risk control: Identifies significant hazards (Clause 4) and requires technical measures to minimize risks during commissioning, operation, routine checks and maintenance.
• Stability and jacking width: Static and dynamic stability requirements depend on jacking width; residual forces and verification tests are specified.
• Strength and load calculations: Working load and diverse force calculations, fatigue stress analysis and verification by functional testing.
• Functional requirements and controls: Safety‑related control systems assessed to Performance Level (PL) per EN ISO 13849‑1; main control console and rescue‑cage controls have defined functional criteria.
• Rescue cage & access: Requirements for rescue cages (rails, apertures, anchorage points), access from ground or deck, attachment/removable cage systems and load limits.
• Performance checks & tests: Procedures for verifying operational reach, movement limits, noise, electromagnetic compatibility, and reception/verification tests (Annex D).
• User documentation & marking: Instruction handbook, commissioning information, maintenance guidance and required markings are specified.

Practical applications

• Procurement specifications for fire authorities and municipalities seeking compliant turntable ladders.
• Design and manufacturing guidance for OEMs to meet European safety and performance requirements.
• Test houses and certification bodies performing type tests, stability and strength verification.
• Fleet managers, operators and maintenance teams using the standard as a reference for safe operation, periodic checks and training.

Who should use this standard

• Fire and rescue service procurement officers
• Turntable ladder designers and manufacturers
• Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies
• Service, maintenance and training organizations

Related standards

• EN 1846‑1, EN 1846‑2, EN 1846‑3 (vehicle and equipment requirements for fire and rescue service appliances)
