ISO/DIS 22915-25

Industrial trucks — Verification of stability — Part 25: Rough-terrain variable-reach trucks operating in the special condition of handling freely suspended loads

Scope

This part of ISO 22915 specifies static tests for verifying the stability of rough-terrain variable-reach trucks (hereafter referred to as non-slewing trucks) and slewing rough-terrain variable-reach trucks (hereafter referred to as slewing trucks) as defined in ISO 5053-1, operating in the special condition of handling freely suspended loads.

This document covers trucks fitted with a lifting attachment or lifting point when used in the following applications:
- picking and placing loads (stationary operation) on substantially firm, smooth, level, and prepared surfaces
- travelling with load on unimproved natural terrain and disturbed-terrain with slopes not exceeding limits determined by the manufacturer, at travel speeds not exceeding 1.4 km/h and with boom angle and extension not exceeding manufacturers limits
This document does not deal with hazards that could occur due to:
- action of the wind;
- dynamic motion of the load.
Note: A tag line or a tether can be used to restrain the dynamic effects of the load during travel.

It is not applicable to those trucks:
- designed for handling freight containers;
- with an articulating chassis;
- equipped with integrated and non-integrated personnel work platforms.
