Foreword

This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for standardization work Part 1: Structure and drafting rules for standardization documents" Drafting.

This document replaces GB/T 8498-2017 "Identification, terms and definitions of basic types of earth-moving machinery" and is consistent with GB/T 8498-2017 in addition to editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.

--- Changed the definitions of "earth-moving machinery", "machine family", "compactor" and "small machine" (see 3.1.1, 3.1.7, 3.2.9, 3.2.12, 2017 Version 3.1, 3.4, 4.9, 4.13);

--- Added "Autonomous mode", "Autonomous machine", "Semi-autonomous machine", "Driver protection structure", "Driver shed", "Driver cab", "Telescopic arm loading the terms and definitions of "short-tail excavator", "small dump truck" and "vacuum excavator" (see 3.1.4, 3.1.5, 3.1.6, 3.1.14, 3.1.15, 3.1.16, 3.2.2.4, 3.2.4.2, 3.2.6.5, 3.2.13);

--- The term and definition of "horizontal directional drilling rig" have been deleted (see 4.12 of the 2017 edition).

This document is equivalent to ISO 6165:2022 "Identification and terminology of basic types of earth-moving machinery".
