GB/T 35205.2-2023 Active

This document specifies the general safety requirements for off-road rotating telescopic forklifts (hereinafter referred to as "forklifts"). Such forklifts consist of a lower chassis and an upper rotating structure, and the upper rotating structure is equipped with a telescopic lifting device (articulated arm), on which a material handling device (such as a fork frame and forks) is usually installed. Forks and other integral attachments are considered part of the forklift.
In addition to the relevant provisions of this document, other parts of this document also apply to these attachments.
This document does not apply to the following:
a) Off-road telescopic forklifts (non-rotating), see ISO 10896-1;
b) Industrial telescopic forklifts, see ISO 3691-2;
c) Mobile cranes;
d) Machines designed primarily for earthmoving operations (such as loaders), even if their buckets are replaced with forks (see ISO 20474);
e) Vehicles designed to be mainly carried by lifting and suspension components of variable length (such as chains, steel ropes), and the load can freely swing in all directions;
Note: For vehicles with loads that can freely swing in all directions, additional requirements for the vehicle's lifting devices and attachments, and manned/working platforms are being developed by ISO/TC 110/SC 4.
f) Vehicles designed primarily for container handling.
The major hazards covered by this document are listed in Appendix A. This document does not address the hazards that may occur in the following situations:
——During the manufacturing process;
——When handling freely swinging suspended loads;
——When lifting personnel;
——When used on highways;
——When used in potentially explosive environments;
——When using batteries, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or hybrid power as the main power source.
