This document specifies the tests for the verification of restraint systems against the risk of lateral ejection of the operator for:
-
counterbalanced lift trucks with centre control, sit down and non-elevating operator position (see EN ISO 3691?1:2015, 4.7.8), with a rated capacity up to and including 10 000 kg;
-
tractors as defined in EN 12312?15 (airport ground equipment);
-
burden carriers (as defined in ISO 5053-1:2015, 3.25) with a maximum speed of more than 25 km/h with seated operator;
-
other types of industrial trucks equipped with such a restraint system.
Counterblanced lift trucks, tractors and burden carriers are named hereafter as trucks.
Industrial tractors as defined in ISO 5053-1 1 do not need a restraint system in general.
This document describes type tests for a specific combination of truck and restraint system.
This standard does not cover:
-
the risk due to frontal ejection;
-
the monitoring of the protective position of the operator restraint system as defined in EN 16307?1 :— 2 , 4.16;
-
