本欧洲标准规定了装有伸缩式起重装置（旋转动臂）的用于搬运货物的自走式可变伸展越野卡车（以下简称卡车）的安全要求，伸缩式起重装置（旋转动臂）上装有装卸设备（如车厢和叉臂）。在本标准中，崎岖地形可变范围卡车设计用于运输、提升和放置负载，并可在未经改进的地形上行驶。叉臂被认为是卡车的一部分。卡车也可以配备各种附件（例如捆钉、割草机、清扫机）。本欧洲标准涉及与卡车相关的所有重大危险、危险情况和事件，当卡车按预期使用时，以及在制造商可合理预见的误用条件下（见附件A）。本欧洲标准不适用于:-EN 1459-2所涵盖的回转可变行程越野卡车；-符合EN ISO 3691-2标准的工业变距卡车；-卡车安装的可伸缩卡车；-装有倾斜或提升操作位置的可伸缩卡车；-EN 13000涵盖的移动式起重机；-主要为运土而设计的机器，即使它们的斗和刀片被叉子代替（见EN 474系列）；-主要设计有可变长度负载悬挂元件（如链条、绳索）的卡车，负载可以在各个方向自由摆动；-装有人员/工作平台的卡车，设计用于将人员移动到高处工作位置；-主要用于集装箱装卸的卡车；-轨道上的卡车；-带铰接式底盘的卡车；-附件（包含在prEN 1459-5中）。本欧洲标准不涉及与以下相关的危险:-混合动力系统；-燃气动力系统；-汽油机系统；-电池供电系统；-拖拉机专用设备（如动力输出）。本欧洲标准不涉及可能发生的危险:a） 处理可能自由摆动的悬挂荷载时（prEN 1459-4（准备中）中给出了附加要求）；b） 在公共道路上使用卡车时；c） 在潜在爆炸性环境中操作时；d） 在地下作业时；e） 牵引拖车时；f） 当安装有人员工作平台时（附加要求见EN 1459-3）；g） 使用巡航控制时。本欧洲标准未提供材料疲劳和强度的计算方法。本文件不适用于出版日期之前制造的卡车。

This European Standard specifies the safety requirements of self-propelled variable-reach rough-terrain trucks (hereafter referred to as trucks), intended to handle loads, equipped with a telescopic lifting means (pivoted boom), on which a load handling device (e.g. carriage and fork arms) is fitted. For the purpose of this standard, rough-terrain variable-reach trucks are designed to transport, lift and place loads and can be driven on unimproved terrain. Fork arms are considered to be part of the truck. Trucks can also be equipped with a variety of attachments (e.g. bale spikes, mowers, sweepers). This European Standard deals with all the 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). This European Standard does not apply to: - slewing variable reach rough terrain trucks covered by EN 1459-2; - industrial variable reach trucks covered by EN 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, 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 fitted with personnel/work platforms, designed to move persons to elevated working positions; - trucks designed primarily for container handling; - trucks on tracks; - trucks with articulated chassis; - attachments (covered by prEN 1459-5). This European Standard does not address hazards linked to: - hybrid power systems; - gas power system; - gasoline engine system; - battery power system; - tractor specific devices (e.g. PTO). This European Standard does not address hazards which may occur: a) when handling suspended loads which may swing freely (additional requirements are given in prEN 1459-4 (in preparation)); b) when using trucks on public roads; c) when operating in potentially explosive atmospheres; d) when operating underground; e) when towing trailers; f) when fitted with a personnel work platform (additional requirements are given in EN 1459-3); g) when using cruise-control. This European Standard does not provide a method of calculation for fatigue and strength of material. This document is not applicable to trucks manufactured before the date of its publication.
