Alcance
This document specifies an additional test for verifying the stability of a laden truck fitted with a powered load-handling device, such as a sideshift, which can displace the centre of gravity laterally to a substantial, predetermined extent from the longitudinal centre plane of the truck or from the centred position. Such devices are used in this mode for depositing and retrieving a load.A displacement is considered to be a substantial displacement if it is more than:— 100 mm, for a truck with a rated capacity < 5 000 kg;— 150 mm, for a truck with a rated capacity = 5 000 kg and = 10 000 kg;— 250 mm, for a truck with a rated capacity > 10 000 kg and < 20 000 kg;— 350 mm, for a truck with a rated capacity = 20 000 kg;This document is applicable to the following types of trucks as defined in ISO 5053-1:a) counterbalance trucks;b) reach and straddle trucks;c) pallet stackers;d) bidirectional and multidirectional trucks;e) industrial variable-reach trucks;f) rough-terrain trucks with mast;g) rough-terrain variable reach trucks;h) counterbalance trucks with articulated steering;i) variable-reach container handler;j) counterbalanced container handler.
