Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 22915-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 110, Industrial trucks, Subcommittee SC 2,
Safety of powered industrial trucks.
This first edition of ISO 22915-2 cancels and replaces ISO 1074:1991, of which it constitutes a technical
revision.
ISO 22915 consists of the following parts, under the general title Industrial trucks — Verification of stability:
⎯ Part 1: General
⎯ Part 4: Pallet stackers, double stackers and order-picking trucks with operator position elevating up to and
including 1 200 mm lift height
⎯ Part 8: Additional stability test for trucks operating in the special condition of stacking with mast tilted
forward and load elevated
⎯ Part 10: Additional stability test for trucks operating in the special condition of stacking with load laterally
displaced by powered devices

1 Scope
This part of ISO 22915 specifies the tests for verifying the stability of counterbalanced trucks with masts,
equipped with fork arms or with load handling attachments. It is not applicable to those trucks designed for
handling freight containers, dealt with by ISO 22915-9 1).
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
4 Test conditions
4.1 General
1) Under preparation.
2) To be published.
Key
A–A longitudinal centre plane of truck
B–B steer axle
C–C load axle
The truck shall be positioned on the tilt table so that its load axle, C–C, is parallel to the tilt axis, X–Y, of the tilt
table. See Table 1.
The truck shall be positioned on the tilt table in a turning position with the line, M–N, parallel to the tilt axis,
X–Y, of the tilt table.
As shown in Table 1, the steered wheel nearest to the tilt axis shall be parallel to X–Y. Point M is defined as
follows.
a) For trucks having an articulating steer axle: point M shall be the projection on the tilt table of the
intersection of the longitudinal centre-plane, A–A, of the truck with the axis of this axle.
b) For trucks steered by a single wheel: point M shall be the centre point of the tread contact area between
the steered wheel and the tilt table surface.
c) For trucks steered by twin wheels: point M shall be the centre point of the tread contact area between the
steered wheel closest to the tilt axis, X–Y, of the tilt table and the tilt-table surface.
d) For trucks having wheels for steering not connected by a common axle, but that are arranged to articulate
approximately about the longitudinal centre-plane of the truck: point M shall be the projection on the tilt
table of the intersection of the longitudinal centre-plane of the truck, A–A, with the steer axle B–B
connecting the vertical turning axis of the steer wheels.
As shown in Table 1, point N is defined as the centre point of the area of contact between the tilt table surface
and the load wheel nearest to the tilt axis.

is the travel speed of the unladen truck in km/h.
Test 1 shall be conducted with the horizontal position of the load datum point, E, unchanged when elevated
from its lowered position as shown in Figure 2.
With the prescribed test load, set the mast vertical and then elevate to approximately 300 mm above the tilt
table. With the shank of the front face of the fork arm set vertical, establish point E, as shown in Figure 2 a),
on the fork arms or fork carrier having a fixed relationship to the centre of gravity of the test load. E shall be
used to provide a reference datum point, F, on the tilt table. When the mast is elevated, a new point, F1, on
the tilt table may occur, as shown in Figure 2 b). This new point may be returned to the original location of F,
as shown in Figure 2 c), by varying the tilt of the mast within the limits provided by the design of the truck.
a) b) c)
For tests simulating travel (Tests 2 and 4), the upper face of the fork arms, measured at the heel of the fork
arm, shall be positioned 300 mm above the tilt table for trucks with a rated capacity less than or equal to 10 t,
and 500 mm for trucks with a rated capacity of greater than 10 t.
5 Verification of stability
5.1 General
The stability of a truck shall be verified in accordance with Table 1. Those trucks having a rated capacity
greater than or equal to 5 000 kg are subject to the following regional requirements when their stability is
verified using Test 4.
