EN 12312-11:2005 (E) 4 Introduction This document specifies health and safety requirements, as well as some functional and performance requirements for container/pallet dollies and loose load trailers intended for moving unit load devices (ULD), loose freight, mail and baggage on an airport. The minimum essential criteria are considered to be of primary importance in providing safe, serviceable, economical and practical container/pallet dollies and loose load trailers. Deviations from the recommended criteria should occur only after careful consideration, extensive testing, risk assessment and thorough service evaluation have shown alternative methods or conditions to be satisfactory. This document is a Type C standard as stated in both parts of EN ISO 12100. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indi-cated in the scope of this document. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the pro-visions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard. SIST EN 12312-11:2005



EN 12312-11:2005 (E) 5 1 Scope This document specifies the technical requirements to minimise the hazards listed in Clause 4 which can arise during the commissioning, operation and maintenance of container/pallet dollies and loose load trailers when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorised representative. It also takes into account some performance requirements recognised as essential by authorities, aircraft and ground support equipment (GSE) manufacturers as well as airlines and handling agencies. This document applies to container/pallet dollies using ball-mat, inverted cargo castors, or rollers and loose load trailers intended to be used for the transportation of baggage and cargo on airports (Examples see
Annex A). This document does not apply to trailers of similar design as used on public roads, e.g. truck type trailers. This document does not establish requirements for noise and vibration. Noise and vibration are dealt with respectively in EN 1915-4 and EN 1915-3. This document is not applicable to container/pallet dollies and loose load trailers which are manufactured before the date of publication by CEN of this document. NOTE Certain measurements have been given in imperial units (in parentheses), following the metric measurements, since the containers/pallets to be handled are based mainly on the imperial system. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

They shall also conform to the specific requirements of this document. 5.1.2 Stability and strength calculations shall be carried out in accordance with EN 1915-2. 5.1.3 Container/pallet dollies and loose load trailers shall be designed to be towed in trains, e.g. by having a drawbar at one end and a towing coupling at the other. 5.1.4 When dollies/trailers are towed in trains, the design shall be such as to avoid any contact between adjacent dollies/trailers and ULDs intended to be carried when dollies/trailers are at 90° to each other. 5.1.5 Control device actuators, e.g. handles, foot pedals, shall be accessible and positioned so that they can be operated whilst wearing protective clothing, e.g. cold weather protection, safety shoes. Handles shall be designed to be operated by gloved hands. 5.1.6 In the case where it is not possible to identify clearly the crushing, shearing and falling points in this
document, the manufacturer shall carry out a specific risk assessment. The manufacturer shall also carry out a specific risk assessment for the interface with other machines. NOTE This risk assessment is part of the general legal risk assessment. 5.2 Structure 5.2.1 The support structure stiffness shall be such that the requirements of Annex C, in respect of the support area, are satisfied taking into account the dimensions and masses of the payloads given in Annex D. 5.2.2 The structure of the trailer/dolly shall include no projections or corners that could cause injury, e.g. corners shall be chamfered to a minimum radius of 3 mm unless smooth corners are provided by the intrinsic design of the standard material profiles used in its construction. 5.3 Platform 5.3.1 On loose load trailers, drainage shall be provided to avoid accumulation of water on the platform. 5.3
