1.1 This European Standard is applicable, in addition to EN 1726-1 to industrial trucks designed to travel indoors on
smooth level prepared surfaces and equipped with vertical, non tilting mast.
a) with an elevating operator position, as defined in 3.1.3.1.6 and 3.1.3.3 of ISO 5053, where the elevating operator
position and the load handling device lifts simultaneously to a height of more than 1 200 mm above ground level
and
b) with a load handling device elevated more than 1 200 mm as defined in 3.1.3.1.10 of ISO 5053
For both types of truck the load handling device can be elevated, lowered or horizontally displaced, laden or
unladen, while the truck is travelling.
Trucks can be used in guidance systems, without guidance systems or in both systems, and are not intended to tow
or push.
1.2 This European Standard covers the technical requirements necessary to minimise the specific hazards listed in
clause 4 which could occur during normal operation and maintenance (in accordance with the data given by the
manufacturer or his authorised representative) of industrial trucks.
This European Standard does not cover those requirements to minimise 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 fitted to a truck not specifically designed to elevate persons
when using trucks see 1.1 with tiltable mast.
This European Standard does not repeat all technical rules which are state of the art and which are applicable to the
material used to construct the industrial truck. Reference should be made to EN 292-2.
1.3 This European Standard applies to industrial trucks equipped with load handling devices for normal industrial
duties, e.g. fork arms and platforms, or attachments for specified applications. Fork arms, load platforms and
integrated attachments are considered to be parts of the indu (...abbr (...abbreviated)
