The maximum speed shall be verified in accordance with ISO 6014. A tolerance on the speed of + 10 % or
+ 3 km/h, whichever is the least, is permitted. The test shall be conducted with maximum size (rolling radius)
tyres at the recommended cold inflation pressure as specified by the manufacturer and with the machine in
the lightest operational condition.
Maximum on-road speed of an earth-moving machine equipped with one or more smooth steel wheels (roller)
is limited to 10 km/h.

warning/instruction shall be provided to the operator to show the maximum allowable speed for the installed
tyres.
NOTE Load index and speed rating data should be determined in accordance with the European Tyre and Rim
Technical Organisation (ETRTO) Standards Manual.
Tyres may be pneumatic or solid. Solid tyres are permissible on earth-moving machinery with a maximum
speed ≤ 17 km/h.
Pneumatic tyres may be foam filled (to protect against loss of stability in case of puncture or rupture) or have a
liquid ballast. In case the use of liquid ballast is permitted, advice shall be given concerning the maximum
travel speed (if less than the maximum speed of the machine).
Treadless tyres are permissible on earth-moving machinery with a design speed ≤ 30 km/h.
Steel wheels/tyres i.e. rollers, are permissible for travel on the road provided that they do not have any tread
pattern.
4.4.2 Tracks

4.5 Dynamic stability
Machine behaviour during travel on the road shall be assessed at various speeds, including maximum speed
and during turning. Control of the machine shall be ensured at all times.
ISO 15037-2 [9] and ISO 14792 [8] may provide suitable information for determining machine behaviour
during travel on the road.
Where necessary, means of ensuring controllability by the operator e.g. equipment/attachment, axle or wheel
suspension shall be fitted.

mass on the steered axle(s) measured on a substantially horizontal surface.
The steering system shall be such that the movement of the steering control (steering wheel, lever or pedal)
shall correspond to the intended direction of steering. It shall be designed to assure safe and easy machine
control during normal and secondary operating conditions.
If the steering system has switchable steer modes (e.g. 2WS, 4WS, crab or inversed function in certain
machine configurations), it shall be possible to positively engage the mode required for travel on the road.
Inadvertent activation of other steer modes shall be minimised in accordance with the requirements of 4.11.2.
It should be possible to easily identify the steering mode that is engaged.
If the machine has more than one steering control, it shall be possible to deactivate the control system that is
not recommended for travel on the road. Deactivation shall be in accordance with the requirements of 4.11.2.

It shall be possible to verify the function of the secondary steering system during normal operation.
4.6.2 Full power steering
A secondary steering system is required.
For machines with a design speed more than 60 km/h the required system redundancy shall be evaluated in

Pedals shall have an appropriate size, shape and be adequately spaced. The pedals shall have a slip-
resistant surface and shall be easy to clean.
If the pedals of an earth-moving machine have the same function (clutch, brake and accelerator) as on a
motor vehicle, they shall be arranged in the same manner to avoid the risk of confusion.
4.11.4 Operating instrumentation
Control indicators for safe and proper operation of the machine shall follow the safety colours and safety
signs/requirements according to ISO 6011.
If the earth-moving machine is equipped with a speedometer (see Clause 4.3.2), the speedometer shall
comply with the visual display characteristics as defined in ISO 6011. The speedometer shall display the
speed in km/h or mph in accordance with the requirements of the market in which the machine is first placed.
NOTE For countries in which mph is used and in the case of an analogue display, it is permissible for the display to
show speed in both mph and km/h.
On earth-moving machinery with a design speed more than 40 km/h, there shall be the following relationship
between the indicated speed (v1 ) and the true speed (v2 ):
v2
 Displays in km/h 0 ≤v1 −v2 ≤ + 4km /h
v2
 Displays in mph 0 ≤v1 −v2 ≤ + 2.5mph
