General Information
- Abstract
This standard specifies specific safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of agricultural trailers with a tipping body, balanced and semi mounted, where the term agricultural trailer refers to a vehicle used in agriculture only for transportation and which, through its design, is adapted and intended for towing by a tractor or a self-propelled agricultural machine.
This standard is not applicable to trailers with a de-mountable body.
NOTE Braking requirements are not included in this standard. These will be studied during its revision depending on the development of European regulations.
In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices to be provided by the manufacturer.
The list of significant hazards dealt with in this standard is given in annex A. Annex A also indicates the hazards which have not been dealt with.
Environmental aspects have not been considered in this standard.
This standard applies primarily to machines which are manufactured after the date of issue of the standard.

Unless otherwise specified in this standard, the trailer shall comply with the requirements of prEN 1553:1998 and with tables 1, 3, 4 and 6 of EN 294:1992. 4.2 Stability 4.2.1 Stability of the detached trailer Trailers shall be designed to comply with the stability requirements given in 4.3.2.1 of prEN 1553:1998. When the trailer is parked on a horizontal surface, containing a uniform load equal to the maximum permissible load declared by the manufacturer, any supporting devices other than wheels shall have a bearing surface designed to limit the ground pressure to a maximum of 400 kPa. The design shall ensure that the detached trailer does not move (e.g. by the provision of blocks). This requirement shall be checked by standing the trailer, loaded at its maximum permissible load, and with any steerable axles in the straight ahead position on a firm surface with a slope of 8,5°. This test shall be carried out with the trailer positioned on the slope in the most unfavourable orientation which shall be recorded.
During the test, the trailer shall not move. SIST EN 1853:1999+A1:2010
Trailers with sideboards higher than 900 mm measured from the trailer platform shall be fitted with an interior boarding means in conformity with 4.1.6 of prEN 1553:1998.

NOTE The boarding means should preferably be placed on the left side of the front of the trailer relative to the direction of motion. 4.4 Tipping 4.4.1 It shall always be possible to actuate the tipping control(s) (up and down) from the driving position. When (an) additional control(s) is (are) provided on the trailer, it (they) shall be of the hold-to-run type and shall conform with 4.3.1 of prEN 1553:1998. 4.4.2 The hydraulic tipping system and the hydraulic braking system shall not be controlled by the same hydraulic circuit. 4.4.3 Trailers shall be constructed so that the highest permissible tipping position cannot be exceeded. 4.5 Interconnections 4.5.1 Mechanical interconnection The hitch ring of a trailer equipped with a low hitch i.e. located below the power-take-off, shall conform to ISO 5692:1979.
