Rough-terrain trucks - Safety requirements and verification - Part 2: Slewing trucks - First Edition
 N 10896-2

Annotation

This part of ISO 10896 specifies general safety requirements for slewing rough-terrain variable-reach trucks (hereafter known 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 and other integrated attachments are considered to be parts of the truck.

Other standards, in addition to the relevant provisions of this part of ISO 10896, can apply to the attachments.

This part of ISO 10896 is not applicable to the following:

a) rough terrain variable-reach trucks covered by ISO 10896-1 (non-slewing);

b) industrial variable-reach trucks covered by ISO 3691-2;

c) mobile cranes;

d) machines designed primarily for earth-moving, such as loaders, even if their buckets are replaced by fork arms (see ISO 20474);

e) trucks designed primarily with variable-length load suspension elements (e.g. chain, ropes) from which the load may swing freely in all directions;

NOTE Additional requirements for trucks intended for freely swinging load applications, their lifting devices and attachments, and personnel/work platform applications on trucks, are being developed by ISO/TC 110/SC4.

f) trucks designed primarily for container handling.
