(Amendment)Safety of industrial trucks - Self-propelled variable reach trucks
Safety of industrial trucks - Self-propelled variable reach trucks
This standard applies to self-propelled seated rider operated variable reach trucks intended to handle loads of all kinds using one of the attachments listed in 3.10 - 3.11 - 3.13 - 3.14 - 3.15 - 3.16 - 3.19 - 3.20. It does not cover the lifting of persons by any attachments, in particular by work platforms. Machines with variable length load suspension elements (chains, ropes etc) from which the load may swing freely in all directions are not covered in this standard. It applies to the handling of series 1 freight containers of length >= 6 metres with the dimensional and securing characteristics as specified in ISO 668 and ISO 3874.
For the purpose of this standard, self-propelled seated rider operated variable reach trucks (hereinafter referred to as "trucks") are counterbalanced lift trucks with one or more articulated arms, telescopic or not, non-slewing, as defined in 4.13.2.2.2 of ISO 5053:1987 used for stacking loads. The load handling means may be mounted directly on the lifting means or on an auxiliary mast fixed at the end of the lifting means. Lifting means shall be non-slewing or have slewing movement not greater than 5° either side of the longitudinal axis of the truck (see figure 1).

Overview
SIST EN 1459:1999+A2:2010/kFprA3:2011 is a European standard published by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST) that specifies safety requirements for industrial trucks-specifically, self-propelled, seated rider operated variable reach trucks. These trucks are designed to handle a wide range of loads using specified attachments, offering versatility and enhanced operational flexibility in industrial and warehouse settings.
This standard ensures the safe operation of variable reach trucks, providing guidelines that help manufacturers, equipment operators, and facility managers minimize risks and comply with relevant safety legislation related to industrial truck operation.
Key Topics
- Scope and Limitations: Applies to self-propelled, seated rider operated variable reach trucks intended for handling loads with designated attachments. It does not cover lifting persons, particularly using work platforms, or machines with variable-length load suspension elements from which loads may swing freely.
- Safety Controls and Requirements:
- Trucks must be equipped with devices to prevent unauthorized starting and unintended movement.
- Critical features include parking brakes meeting specific safety criteria and mechanisms that minimize risks related to inadvertent activation of controls.
- Special attention is given to powered travel controls so that they cannot be operated unless the operator is in the primary position.
- The system includes warnings for non-activation of the parking brake when the operator is away from the controls.
- Longitudinal Load Stability:
- Variable reach trucks must be equipped with a longitudinal load moment indicator (LLMI) and corresponding control systems (LLMC) to ensure stability when handling loads, aligning with requirements from EN 15000:2008.
- Alternative conformity options are allowed, referencing EN 954-1:1996 and EN ISO 13849 for safety control system performance levels.
Applications
This standard is essential for:
- Manufacturers of Variable Reach Trucks: Ensures product compliance with European and international safety requirements, minimizing liability and facilitating market acceptance.
- Industrial and Logistics Companies: Supports safe operation in environments where self-propelled variable reach trucks handle loads, particularly when stacking or transporting large freight containers of length 6 meters or more, as specified by ISO 668 and ISO 3874.
- Maintenance and Safety Personnel: Provides clear guidance on safety features, control system requirements, and operational checks to maintain compliance and protect workers.
- Regulatory Inspectors and Auditors: Offers a reference point for assessments related to machine conformity under EU Directive requirements for machinery safety.
Related Standards
This standard references and works in conjunction with several important documents:
- EN 15000:2008 - Safety of industrial trucks - Specification, performance, and test requirements for longitudinal load moment indicators and control systems.
- EN 954-1:1996 - Safety of machinery - Safety-related parts of control systems - General design principles.
- EN ISO 13849-1 & EN ISO 13849-2 - Safety of machinery - Safety-related parts of control systems, covering general principles and validation.
- ISO 5053:1987 - Industrial trucks - Terminology and definitions, particularly useful for understanding truck types and characteristics.
- ISO 668 and ISO 3874 - Freight container standards, relevant when handling standardized containers in logistics operations.
By aligning with SIST EN 1459, organizations demonstrate a commitment to industrial truck safety, improved operational effectiveness, and compliance with the latest international best practices for material handling equipment.
