Specifies requirements, additional to those in AS 1418.1, for guided storing and retrieving machine and universal stacker crane types, and for appliances intended to carry out similar functions and the interface between the elements of the total system. Application, materials, design, structure, clearances and tolerances, ancillary equipment, cabins, platforms and ladders, mechanisms, stability, controls, inspection and testing, maintenance and marking are covered. Appendices provide guidance on assessing mechanism, classification, tolerances, storing and retrieving machine and system layouts, assessment of appliance performance, test certificates, and maintenance procedures.

This Standard sets out requirements for guided storing and retrieving appliances of the storage and retrieval machine and universal stacker crane types as defined in AS 2549, for appliances intended to carry out similar functions, and for the interface between the elements of the total system, e.g. racking and the appliances. It does not apply to narrow aisle storage and retrieval machines of the top support bottom guided type, storage and retrieval trucks and industrial trucks complying with AS 2359, and gravity flow systems.NOTES:1. A chart showing types of guided storing and retrieving appliances within the scope of this Standard is given in Appendix A.2. A guided storing and retrieving appliance may be referred to herein as '(an) (the) appliance'.
