scope:

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.
