本欧洲标准规定了具有回转上部结构的下部底盘的回转可变到达式地形卡车（以下称为卡车）的一般安全要求，该底盘配备有伸缩提升装置（枢转吊杆），其上通常安装负载处理装置（例如，托架和叉臂）。 叉臂由本欧洲标准涵盖，被认为是卡车的一部分。 本欧洲标准涉及所有重大危险，危险情况和与卡车相关的事件，如果按照预期的使用条件和制造商合理预见的误用条件（见附件A），但1.3和1.4中列出的危害除外。 本欧洲标准不适用于: - prEN 1459-1（非回转）覆盖的可变接地崎岖卡车; - prEN ISO 3691 2涵盖的工业变速货车; - 货车可变式卡车; - 具有倾斜或升降操作员位置的可变卡车; - EN 13000涵盖的移动式起重机; - 主要用于土方移动的机器，如装载机和推土机，即使铲斗和铲斗用叉子更换（参见EN 474系列）; - 主要用可变长度负载悬挂元件（例如

This European Standard specifies the general safety requirements of slewing variable-reach rough-terrain trucks (here-after referred to as trucks), consisting of a lower chassis with a slewing upper structure equipped with a telescopic lifting means (pivoted boom), on which a load handling device (e.g. carriage and fork arms) is typically fitted. Fork arms are covered by this European Standard and considered to be parts of the truck. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the trucks when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Annex A) with the exception of hazards listed in 1.3 and 1.4. This European Standard does not apply to: - variable-reach rough terrain trucks covered by prEN 1459-1 (non-slewing); - industrial variable-reach trucks covered by prEN ISO 3691 2; - lorry-mounted variable-reach trucks; - variable reach trucks fitted with tilting or elevating operator position; - mobile cranes covered by EN 13000; - machines designed primarily for earth moving, such as loaders and dozers, even if their buckets and blades are replaced with forks (see EN 474 series); - trucks designed primarily with variable length load suspension elements (e.g., chain, ropes) from which the load may swing freely in all directions; - trucks designed primarily for container handling; - trucks on tracks; - attachments (prEN 1459-5). This European Standard does not address hazards linked to: - hybrid power systems; - gas power system; - trucks equipped with gasoline engine; - battery power system; - tractor specific devices (e.g. PTO). This European Standard does not address hazards which may occur when: a) handling suspended loads which may swing freely (additional requirements are given in prEN 1459-4); b) using trucks on public roads; c) operating in potentially explosive atmospheres; d) operating underground; e) when towing trailers; f) fitted with a personnel work platform (additional requirements are given in EN 1459-3).
