This document gives safety requirements and the means for their verification for self-propelled industrial variable-reach trucks and variable-reach container handlers/reach stackers as defined in ISO 5053‑1 (hereafter referred to as trucks), equipped with forks or integral load-handling devices for normal industrial duties (e.g. fork arms or means, such as spreaders, for handling containers). This document does not apply to: — rough-terrain variable-reach trucks, — rough-terrain variable-reach trucks for handling containers, — lorry mounted trucks covered by ISO 20297-1, — machines designed primarily for earth-moving (e.g. loaders and dozers), even when their buckets and blades are replaced with forks, — machines from which the load can swing freely in all directions. This document is not applicable to trucks manufactured before the date of its publication. For the purposes of this document, fork arms and integrated attachments are considered to be a part of the truck, whereas attachments/equipment/tools mounted on the load carrier or on the fork arms which are removable by the user are not. Nevertheless, for interchangeable equipment, which is assembled with the truck by the operator in order to change the function of, or attribute a new function to, the truck, this document does provide requirements for: — the interface with the truck, — protection of the operator in the normal operating position from crushing and shearing hazards, — operating and maintenance instructions, — load charts, — marking, — provision for transportation, and, — indicator lights for attachments for lifting containers Any regional requirements additional to the provisions of this document are addressed in EN 16307-2:2023 and ISO/TS 3691‑8. This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events, as listed in Annex B, with the exception of the following, relevant to the applicable machines when used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. It does not establish requirements for hazards that can occur: — during construction; — when using trucks on public roads; — when operating in potentially explosive atmospheres; — when lifting persons; or — during dismantling, disabling and scrapping. This document does not provide requirements for: — tools, lifting accessories or removeable attachments, which do not change the function or attribute a new function, mounted on the load carrier or fork arms; — attachments/equipment mounted on the load carrier or on the fork arms which are removable by the user and which change the function or attribute a new function, except as stated above; — the reliability of control systems and performance requirements for safety related parts of control systems; or — the requirement for fitting an enclosed cab, whether pressurized or not.
Abstract
Overview
EN ISO 3691-2:2023 - Industrial trucks - Safety requirements and verification - Part 2: Self‑propelled variable‑reach trucks (ISO 3691-2:2023) sets safety requirements and verification methods for self‑propelled variable‑reach trucks and variable‑reach container handlers/reach stackers (as defined in ISO 5053‑1). It applies to trucks equipped with forks or integral load‑handling devices for normal industrial duties and is intended for machines manufactured after the publication date.
The standard excludes rough‑terrain variable‑reach trucks, lorry‑mounted trucks covered by ISO 20297‑1, earth‑moving machines repurposed with forks, machines where the load can swing freely, and several operating conditions (construction, public roads, explosive atmospheres, lifting persons, dismantling). It does not set requirements for removable tools that do not change a truck’s function, nor the reliability/performance of safety‑related control systems or a mandatory enclosed cab.
Key Topics
EN ISO 3691-2:2023 covers a broad range of safety‑related topics (high‑level list based on the document contents):
- General safety and verification principles - overall requirements, operating/environmental conditions and definitions.
- Starting, moving and braking - unauthorized start prevention, unintended movement and brake behavior including failure modes.
- Manual controls - travel, braking, steering, load‑handling controls and control‑marking requirements.
- Power systems & accessories - exhaust, cooling, fuel tanks, engine access and LPG specifics.
- Telescoping, lifting and tilting systems - lift chains, hydraulic systems, fork arms, extensions and load‑handling attachments.
- Operator positions & protection - seating, restraints, access/egress, protection from crushing, shearing and thrown objects.
- Stability & protective devices - stability determination, roll‑over protective structures (ROPS), overhead guards, load backrest extensions.
- Visibility, lighting & cab requirements - visibility controls, lighting, cab doors/windows, fire resistance, ventilation, demisting and emergency exits.
- Documentation & marking - operating/maintenance instructions, load charts, marking, transport provisions and indicator lights for container attachments.
- Interchangeable equipment - requirements for interfaces, operator protection in normal operating position, instructions and marking for user‑assembled attachments.
Applications
This standard is essential for:
- Manufacturers designing and certifying self‑propelled variable‑reach trucks and reach stackers.
- Safety engineers & compliance teams conducting risk assessments and conformity verification.
- Test laboratories & notified bodies verifying compliance with safety requirements.
- Fleet managers, procurement officers and maintenance teams ensuring safe selection, operation and servicing of variable‑reach trucks.
- Training providers developing operator and maintenance training aligned with documented hazards and protective measures.
