Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 110, Industrial trucks, Subcommittee SC 4,
Rough-terrain trucks.
ISO 11525 consists of the following parts, under the general title Rough-terrain trucks — User

Introduction
Slewing and non-slewing variable-reach rough-terrain trucks, when permitted, may be fitted with
attachments that can lift and move freely suspended loads.

Rough-terrain trucks — User requirements —
Part 4:
Additional requirements for variable-reach trucks
handling freely suspended loads
1 Scope
This part of ISO 11525, when used in conjunction with ISO 11525-1 or ISO 11525-2, defines specific
user requirements relating to the use of non-slewing and slewing variable-reach trucks operating with
freely suspended loads.
When provisions of this part of ISO 11525 are different from those which are stated in ISO 11525-1 or
ISO 11525-2, the provisions of this part of ISO 11525 take precedence over the provisions of ISO 11525-1
or ISO 11525-2.
It is intended to achieve the following:
a) prevention of personal injuries, property damage and accidents;
b) establishment of criteria for inspection, maintenance, operation and training.
NOTE National or local requirements can apply, whichever could be more stringent.
General user requirements for non-slewing variable-reach trucks are given in ISO 11525-1.
General user requirements for slewing variable-reach trucks are given in ISO 11525-2.
This part of ISO 11525 is not applicable to flexible intermediate bulk containers as defined in ISO 21898.
