The objective of this Standard is to specify an additional test for verifying the stability of a laden truck whose utilization creates the special operating condition whereby the load centre of gravity is substantially offset from the truck’s longitudinal centre plane.

This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee ME-026, Industrial Trucks. The objective of this Standard is to specify an additional test for verifying the stability of a laden truck whose utilization creates the special operating condition whereby the load centre of gravity is substantially offset from the truck’s longitudinal centre plane. It is applicable to the following types of truck:

a) counterbalanced trucks, as specified in AS ISO 22915‑2;

b) reach (retractable mast or forks) and straddle trucks, as specified in AS ISO 22915‑3;

c) pallet stackers, as specified in AS ISO 22915‑4;

d) bidirectional and multi directional (retractable mast or forks) trucks, as specified in ISO 22915‑7;

e) rough-terrain variable reach trucks;

f) counterbalanced trucks fitted with articulated steering;

g) variable reach trucks;

h) rough terrain trucks with mast.

This Standard is an adoption with national modifications, and has been reproduced from, ISO 22915‑20:2008, Industrial trucks ─ Verification of stability ─ Part 20: Additional stability test for trucks operating in the special condition of offset load, offset by utilization. The modifications are additional requirements and are set out in Appendix ZZ, which has been added at the end of the source text.
