Overview

ISO/FDIS 22915-13:2026 specifies the international standard for the verification of stability of rough-terrain industrial trucks equipped with a mast and rated to carry loads up to 10,000 kg. This standard targets rough-terrain counterbalanced trucks with fork arms or other load handling attachments and provides detailed test methods to ensure operational safety and performance under various conditions. It excludes trucks designed for freight container handling and variable-reach trucks with vertical mast attachments, covered in other parts of the ISO 22915 series.

Developed by ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 110, Subcommittee SC 4, this standard reflects state-of-the-art requirements for verifying truck stability on tilt tables, ensuring alignment with regional safety criteria. The document is essential for manufacturers, testing bodies, and safety inspectors working with rough-terrain trucks to guarantee adherence to globally recognized safety benchmarks.

Key Topics

  • Test Conditions and Procedures
    ISO/FDIS 22915-13 outlines five distinct tests simulating different stability scenarios involving lateral and longitudinal tilting, lifting heights, load positions, and truck orientations on a tilt table. These tests include:

    • Load and drive/steer axle positioning
    • Stabilizer and axle oscillation locking usage
    • Elevation of mast and load handling attachments with defined datum points
    • Specific lateral test procedures including operator-selectable stabilizers and chassis leveling
    • Regional tilt table slope variations based on geographic safety requirements
  • Truck Positioning on Tilt Table
    Detailed instructions specify the proper truck orientation for each test type to accurately simulate real-world operating conditions-whether the truck is aligned straight or in a turning position, considering articulated chassis and axles.

  • Load Handling and Lift Height
    The standard requires tests at both travel height (typically 500 mm above the tilt table) and maximum lift height, with controls for backward tilt and load center displacement to realistically replicate operational stresses affecting truck stability.

  • Verification Criteria
    Stability verification is rigorously defined with test-specific criteria and pass/fail thresholds. Special emphasis is placed on lateral slope corrections and the interaction between stabilizers and axle locking mechanisms to ensure effectiveness in maintaining stability.

  • Regional Safety Requirements
    Recognizing diverse regional standards, the verification slopes vary-for example, North America requires a 6% slope for Test 1 and a 10% slope for Test 3, whereas other regions call for 7% and 12%, respectively. This ensures international applicability while respecting local regulations.

Applications

ISO/FDIS 22915-13:2026 is applied primarily in:

  • Manufacturing and Quality Assurance
    Industrial truck manufacturers utilize the standard to design and validate rough-terrain trucks that meet global safety and stability criteria before market release.

  • Safety Certification and Compliance Testing
    Certification bodies rely on the test procedures for certifying rough-terrain trucks' stability performance, which is critical for operator safety and regulatory compliance.

  • Fleet Operations Management
    Operators and safety managers deploy these stability verification methods in routine inspections and maintenance to prevent accidents related to tipping or loss of control on uneven terrain.

  • Research and Development
    Engineers and designers use the requirements to innovate features such as advanced stabilizers, chassis articulation, and load handling systems that improve rough-terrain stability.

Related Standards

  • ISO 22915-1: Industrial trucks - Verification of stability - Part 1: General
    Provides foundational principles and terminology referenced in ISO 22915-13 for test methods and definitions.

  • ISO 22915-9: Industrial trucks - Verification of stability - Part 9: Counterbalance trucks with mast handling freight containers
    Covers stability verification for trucks handling freight containers, distinct from but complementary to Part 13.

  • ISO 5053-1: Industrial trucks - Vocabulary - Part 1: Types of industrial trucks
    Establishes terms and definitions critical for correct interpretation of ISO 22915-13 requirements.

Understanding and implementing ISO/FDIS 22915-13 helps ensure the manufacturing and operation of safe, reliable rough-terrain trucks capable of stable performance in demanding environments. Compliance with this standard supports global harmonization of safety practices and facilitates international trade of industrial truck equipment.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 22915-13:2012 and
ISO 22915-13:2012/Cor 1:2013), which has been technically revised. It also incorporates the Technical
Corrigendum ISO 22915-13:2012/Cor 1:2013.
The main change is as follows:
nd
— — subclause 4.4, (2 paragraph)4.4 has been modified to make test 3 realistic.
