This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN 292-1
This standard has been prepared to be a harmonized standard to provide one means of conforming with the
essential safety requirements of the Machinery Directive and associated EFTA regulations
The extent to which hazards are covered is indicated in the scope of this standard In addition, machinery
shall comply as appropriate with EN 292 for hazards which are not covered by this standard
1 Scope
1.1 This standard applies to self propelled lift trucks, the rated capacity of which exceeds 1 O O00 kg
This standard does not cover:
- Trucks powered by natural gas
- Trucks operated by remote control
- Trucks with elevating operator position
1.2 For the purposes of this standard, self propelled lift trucks (hereinafter referred to as "trucks") are
counterbalanced lift trucks, with masts, as defined in 3.1.3.1.1 of I S 0 5053:1987; side loading trucks are
defined in 3.1.3.1.7 of I S 0 5053:1987 or rough terrain trucks, with masts, as defined in 3.1.3.1.8 of
I S 0 5053:1987
1.3 This standard applies to industrial trucks equipped with load handling devices for normal industrial
duties, e.g fork arms or attachments for specified applications Fork arms and integrated attachments are
considered to be parts of the industrial truck
Attachments mounted on the load carrier or on the fork arms which are removable by the user are not
considered to be part of the industrial truck
For attachments the appropriate clauses of this standard are applicable
1.4 This European Standard contains the technical requirements to minimize the specific hazards listed in
clause 4 which may occur during normal operation and maintenance of the trucks in accordance with the
data given by the manufacturer or his authorized representatives
This European Standard does not cover those requirements to minimize hazards which may occur:
- during construction;
- when handling suspended loads which may swing freely;
- when using trucks on public roads;
- when using a work platform
This European Standard does not repeat the technical rules which are state of the art and which are
applicable to the material used to construct the truck Reference should be made to EN 292-2
1.5 Where industrial trucks are required to operate in severe conditions (e.g in extreme climates, in strong
magnetic fields, in potentially explosive atmospheres) special precautions may be necessary These are not
covered in this standard

following specific conditions
For the load Q the following conditions apply:
- Load centre of gravity G (see Figure 1) positioned at the standard load centre û (3.3)
- Load Q vertically stacked to the standard lift height (3.2)
- Truck equipped with a double mast where the maximum lift height is equal to the standard lift height
When the truck does not utilize a double mast it shall be given rated capacity on the standard lifl height

Tests shall either be performed by operating the truck in the manner prescribed below or, where practicable,

This test shall be carried out with load QI as follows:
Pick up the test load into the travel position as recommended by the manufacturer e.g
- The load raised 300 mm from the ground and the mast fully tilted back
- The bottom of the freight container no higher than 1 O00 mm above the point of maximum depression of the seat cushion under the operator and the mast fully tilted back
- The load on a plaiform of a side loading truck
Drive the truck forward at low speed, change to reverse, and change to forward again to verify that the direction change mechanism operates effectively Reversal of direction changes shall be made at the speeds recommended by the manufacturer
Drive the truck forward and backward through all speed ranges to the maximum speed and check that range changing and service brakes operate in both directions
Make several turns in both forward and reverse directions at approximately one third maximum speed and approximately three times the minimum outside turning radius specified by the manufacturer Check the function and direction of the steering
Deposit the load on the ground
This test shall be carried out with load Q2
Pick up the test load from ground level and elevate it to maximum height Lower to ground level at maximum speed, making several stops during descent, and deposit the load on the ground
With the mast vertical, the maximum lowering speed shall be measured with load Q2 to verify that it does not exceed 0,6 m/s This may be determined by dividing the total lowering distance in metres by the number of seconds required for the total descent
The permissible lowering shall be tested in accordance with 5.6.3.1 and the permissible tilting in accordance with 5.6.3.4
Following the tests in 6.3.3 and 6.3.4 the truck shall be examined visually to ensure that there are no defects
