1.1 This European Standard is applicable, in addition to EN 1726-1 to industrial trucks designed to travel indoors on smooth level prepared surfaces and equipped with vertical, non tilting mast. a) with an elevating operator position, as defined in 3.1.3.1.6 and 3.1.3.3 of ISO 5053, where the elevating operator position and the load handling device lifts simultaneously to a height of more than 1 200 mm above ground level and b) with a load handling device elevated more than 1 200 mm as defined in 3.1.3.1.10 of ISO 5053 For both types of truck the load handling device can be elevated, lowered or horizontally displaced, laden or unladen, while the truck is travelling.

This European Standard does not cover those requirements to minimise hazards which may occur: during construction when handling suspended loads which may swing freely when using trucks on public roads when using a work platform fitted to a truck not specifically designed to elevate persons when using trucks see 1.1 with tiltable mast. This European Standard does not repeat all technical rules which are state of the art and which are applicable to the material used to construct the industrial truck. Reference should be made to EN 292-2. 1.3 This European Standard applies to industrial trucks equipped with load handling devices for normal industrial duties, e.g. fork arms and platforms, or attachments for specified applications.
