ISO/TC 110/SC 4/WG 9 - Lorry-mounted trucks

This document specifies requirements for the application, inspection, training, maintenance, repair and safe operation (hereafter referred to collectively as the 'safe use') of industrial and rough-terrain lorry-mounted trucks (hereafter referred to as 'trucks') which have design features that allow them to be mounted for transport on a carrier vehicle. This document is intended to achieve the following: - the prevention of personal injuries, property damage and accidents; - the establishment of criteria for inspection, maintenance and operation; - the establishment of operator training requirements. NOTE National or local requirements can apply.

ISO 20297-1:2017 specifies safety requirements and their verification for industrial and rough-terrain lorry‑mounted trucks (hereafter referred to as "trucks"). ISO 20297-1:2017 is applicable to those trucks capable of self-loading onto a carrier vehicle. It is not applicable to - trucks that are driven onto the carrier vehicle, or - trucks that are loaded onto the carrier vehicle with the assistance of external means, i.e. crane or other lifting device. ISO 20297-1:2017 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events relevant to machinery, when it is used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. The significant hazards covered by this document are listed in Annex A. ISO 20297-1:2017 does not address hazards which can occur - during manufacture, - when handling suspended loads, which may swing freely, - when using trucks on public roads, - when operating in potentially explosive atmospheres, - with a battery or hybrid as the primary power source. ISO 20297-1:2017 does not address the requirements of road safety when the truck is mounted on the carrier vehicle. ISO 20297-1:2017 is not applicable to trucks manufactured before the date of its publication.
