scope:

This International Standard establishes the terminology and classification of industrial trucks.

For the purposes of this International Standard, industrial trucks are wheeled vehicles having at least three wheels with a powered or non‐powered driving mechanism -except those running on rails -which are designed either to carry, tow, push, lift, stack or tier in racks any kind of load, and which are controlled either by an operator or by driverless automation.

NOTE In addition to terms used in English and French, two of the three official ISO languages, this International Standard gives the equivalent terms in German, Chinese, and Italian; these are published under the responsibility of the member bodies for Germany (DIN), China (SAC), and Italy (UNI). However, only the terms and definitions given in the official languages can be considered as ISO terms and definitions.
