Pertains to rough-terrain variable reach trucks (herein-after referred to as 'trucks') that have a specific seated operator's position, on the left hand side of the boom, or centre position (excluding operator position on the right side of the boom).

This European Standard applies to rough-terrain variable reach trucks (herein-after referred to as ‘trucks’) that have a specific seated operator’s position, on the left hand side of the boom, or centre position (excluding operator position on the right side of the boom).

This European Standard specifies a static test method for determining and evaluating the operator’s visibility on a rectangular 1 m boundary close around the rough-terrain variable reach truck and on a 12 m visibility test circle. Performance requirements for visibility are specified in this standard.

This European Standard does not apply to rough-terrain variable reach trucks designed to handle freight containers (rough-terrain reach stackers).

It applies to trucks for operation on work sites.
