Rough-terrain trucks - Safety requirements and verification - Part 5: Attachment interface
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.

Overview
EN 1459-5:2020/FprA1 - published by CEN - defines safety requirements and verification for the truck side of the attachment interface on rough‑terrain variable‑reach trucks (both non‑slewing and slewing). The standard applies to attachments fitted to the telescopic boom carriage or mounted on forks when used as intended or under reasonably foreseeable misuse. It focuses exclusively on the interface between truck and attachment and does not set requirements for the completed truck‑plus‑attachment assembly or for parts of the truck beyond the interface.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope of applicability: Covers the truck side of attachment interfaces for telescopic‑boom variable‑reach rough‑terrain trucks referenced in EN 1459‑1 and EN 1459‑4. Not applicable to interfaces manufactured before the publication date.
- Excluded interfaces: Interfaces for equipment for lifting persons (covered by EN 1459‑3), container‑handling spreaders, and equipment permanently installed on the machine (which become part of the truck) are explicitly excluded.
- Interface types: Addresses attachments fitted to the telescopic boom carriage or mounted on forks, considering intended use and foreseeable misuse.
- Hydraulic interface: Includes requirements relating to the interface hydraulic system (see clause 4.5 and subsequent amendment updates).
- Functional safety and SIL: Normative references include EN 62061 for functional safety of electrical/electronic control systems; Table 1 and amendment text refer to SIL concepts where applicable.
- Verification and conformity: Provides requirements and verification principles for safe design and use of the attachment interface; Annex ZA maps the standard to the essential requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC.
- Amendment A1 (prA1:2023): Updates normative references, scope wording and Annex ZA for legal certainty and consistency with related parts (prEN 1459‑1:2023 and EN 1459‑4:2020+prA1:2023).
Applications and who uses it
- OEMs and truck manufacturers: To design and verify attachment interfaces that meet harmonized European safety requirements.
- Attachment designers and suppliers: To ensure compatibility and safe interface behaviour when their equipment is mounted on variable‑reach rough‑terrain trucks.
- Conformity assessment bodies and test labs: For type testing and verification against EN 1459‑5 requirements and associated normative references.
- Fleet owners, rental companies and maintenance teams: To assess safe attachment selection, installation and foreseeable misuse scenarios.
- Procurement and safety managers: To specify interface requirements in tenders and ensure compliance with Machinery Directive obligations.
