Introduction

Off-road forklifts, with their unique structure and the variety of accessories they can be equipped with, are capable of doing the work of many different types of vehicles.

The increasing use of forklifts has led to an urgent need to standardize the use requirements of users, improve the safety of the operation process, and prevent personal injury and property loss.

and accidents, establish standards for inspection, maintenance, operation and training, and bring my country's off-road forklift safety requirements for users in line with international standards.

GB/T 38055 "Safety requirements for off-road forklifts" aims to establish the requirements for users in the use of off-road forklifts.

It consists of the following parts.

--- Part 1: Telescopic forklifts. The purpose is to specify the general requirements for non-slewing telescopic forklifts.

--- Part 2: Slewing telescopic forklifts. The purpose is to specify the requirements for the use of slewing telescopic forklifts.

--- Part 4: Additional requirements for telescopic forklifts with suspended freely swinging loads. The purpose is to specify the requirements for telescopic forklifts with suspended freely swinging loads.

Additional requirements for non-swinging and swinging telescopic forklifts with dynamic loads.

--- Part 5: Connection devices for telescopic forklifts and integrated personnel working platforms. The purpose is to specify the use of non-rotating or rotating Requirements for the connection devices of all-terrain telescopic forklifts and integrated work platforms.

This document is expected to achieve the following goals.

---Prevent personal injury, property loss and accidents;

--- Establish inspection, maintenance and operation criteria;

--- Establish operator training requirements.

ISO 18479-2 gives requirements for the safe use of non-integrated personnel work platforms.
