European foreword
This document (prEN 16842-11:2025) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 150
“Industrial Trucks – Safety”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document is intended to be used in combination with the requirements in EN 16842-1. The
EN 16842 series consists of the following parts under the general title “Powered industrial trucks –
Visibility – Test methods and verification”:
— part 1: General requirements;
— part 2: Sit-on counterbalance trucks and rough terrain masted trucks up to and including 10 000 kg
capacity;
— part 3: Reach trucks up to and including 10 000 kg capacity;
— part 4: Industrial variable reach trucks up to and including 10 000 kg capacity;
— part 5: Industrial variable reach trucks greater than 10 000 kg capacity;
— part 6: Sit-on counterbalance trucks and rough terrain masted trucks greater than 10 000 kg
capacity;
— part 7: Variable reach and masted container trucks handling freight containers of 6 m (20 ft) length
and longer;
— part 8: Stand on counterbalance trucks up to and including 10 000 kg capacity;
— part 9: Order-picking, lateral- and front-stacking trucks with elevating operator position;
— part 10: Towing and pushing tractors and burden carrier;
— part 11: Pallet stacking trucks (rider-controlled).
It is intended to develop the parts related to the following machinery:
— single side loader;
— multi-directional forklift truck;
— non-stacking low-lift straddle carrier (as defined in ISO 5053-1:2020, 3.18);
— stacking high-lift straddle carrier (as defined in ISO 5053-1:2020, 3.19).
1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements and test procedures for 360° visibility of self-propelled
industrial rider-controlled pallet-stacking trucks in accordance with ISO 5053-1 (herein after referred to
as trucks), without a load and it is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 16842-1.
This document also applies to pedestrian controlled trucks with foldable platform when used in ride-on
mode.
Pedestrian-controlled and pedestrian-propelled trucks are not covered by this document.
Where specific requirements in this part are modified from the general requirements in EN 16842-1, the
requirements of this part are truck specific and intended to be used for self-propelled industrial stand-
on pallet-stacking trucks.
This part of EN 16842 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events
relevant to the visibility of the operator for applicable machines when used as intended and under
conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
