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 loaders 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 loader (self-propelled) single platform;
- Container/Pallet loader (self-propelled) two platforms;
- Container/Pallet loader/transporter (self-propelled);
- Container/Pallet loader/transfer platform (towed).
Examples of some of the different types of loaders are shown in Annex B.
This document does not establish requirements for noise and vibration.
Noise and vibration are dealt with respectively in prEN 1915-4 and prEN 1915-3.
This standard does not deal with hazards in respect to a standard automotive chassis and from other vehicles on the apron.
This Part of EN 12312 is not applicable to container/pallet loaders which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.
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.
This part of EN 12312 is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1915-1, EN 1915-2, EN 1915-3 (for vehicles) and EN 1915-4.
