European foreword
This document (EN 1459-5:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 150
“Industrial Trucks - Safety”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2021, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by June 2021.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and
the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive
2006/42/ EC.
For relationship with EU Directive see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
EN 1459 consists of the following parts, under the general title Rough-terrain trucks — Safety
requirements and verification:
— Part 1: Variable-reach trucks;
— Part 2: Slewing variable-reach trucks;
— Part 3: Interface between the variable-reach truck and the work platform;
— Part 4: Additional requirements for variable-reach trucks handling freely suspended loads;
— Part 5: Attachment interface;
— Part 6: Application of EN ISO 13849-1 to slewing and non-slewing variable-reach rough-terrain
trucks;
— Part 8: Variable-reach tractors.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary,
Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal,
Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,

Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the
market players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance
etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document
by the above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the
drafting process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous
events are covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or
type-B standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements
of the other standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the
requirements of this type-C standard.
All quantities are in metric units.
Tools
Being excluded from interchangeable equipment according to Directive 2006/42/EC (as amended)
Article 2 b), tools as such are not subject to the Machinery Directive. Characteristics of tools which
may be fitted to the machinery can be found in the instructions for use given by the truck
manufacturer according to 1.7.4.2 (n) Directive 2006/42/EC.
Interchangeable equipment
An interchangeable equipment is not part of the truck, according to Directive 2006/42/EC (as
amended) Article 2 b), because it is assembled with the truck by the operator himself in order to
change its function or attribute a new function. The instructions for machinery allow several uses
intended by design depending on the equipment used and the instructions for the interchangeable
equipment contain the information necessary for safe assembly and use of the basic machinery and
the interchangeable equipment that can be fitted (see Directive 2006/42/EC, 3.6.3.2).
The following items should be taken into account:
a) identification of a specific point on the truck for the installation of the interchangeable
equipment, i.e. truck-related side of the interface (hereafter referred to as “interface”): the
carriage;
b) interface safety-related design and coupling performances:
— avoidance of unintentional displacements: locking (normal operation condition and truck
power supply failure condition);
— strength requirements: calculation and static and dynamic test;
— controls;
— information.
c) interchangeable equipment compatibility in order to be installable on the truck, i.e. choice of
approved types of interchangeable equipment, correct usage in combination with the truck,
minimum safety requirements.
Guide to application of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC states that “The manufacturer of the
interchangeable equipment must ensure that the combination of the interchangeable equipment
and the basic machinery with which it is intended to be assembled fulfils all the relevant essential
health and safety requirements of Annex I and must carry out the appropriate conformity
assessment procedure”.
This document considers primary function of the truck the load handling, stacking and lifting
function, e.g. with forks.
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for the truck side of the attachment interface of rough-
terrain non-slewing and slewing variable reach trucks (hereafter referred to as “trucks”) dealt with
in EN 1459-1:2017+A1:2020, EN 1459-2:2015+A1:2018 and EN 1459-4:2020.
This document covers the interface for the attachments fitted to the telescopic boom carriage or
mounted on the forks when it is used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are
reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. This document does not cover:
— interface for interchangeable equipment designed for lifting person(s) (covered by EN 1459-
3:2015);
— interface for equipment for container handling (e.g. spreader);
— interface for equipment permanently installed on the machine and not intended to be removed
by the user.
NOTE In this case, equipment becomes part of the truck.
This document does not give requirements for the completed assembly of a truck fitted with an
attachment. This document does not address risks to parts of the truck other than the interface with
the attachment.
This document is not applicable to interfaces manufactured before the date of its publication.
