3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 12100:2010,
ISO 5053-1:2015 and the following apply.
3.1
rough-terrain variable-reach truck
variable-reach truck intended primarily for operation on unimproved natural terrain and on the
disturbed terrain of, for example, construction site
[SOURCE: ISO 5053-1:2015, 2.21]
3.2
variable-reach truck
lift truck fitted with one or more articulated arms, telescopic or not, non-slewing or having a slewing
movement of not more than 5° either side of the longitudinal axis of the truck used for stacking loads
[SOURCE: ISO 5053-1:2015, 2.20]
Note 1 to entry: See Figure 1.
Figure 1 — Variable-reach truck
3.3
compact truck
truck having a maximum height in normal travel mode of 2 150 mm and:
— a maximum operating mass of 6 000 kg;
and/or
— a maximum width in normal travel mode of 1 850 mm
Note 1 to entry: These dimensions do not include equipment such as working lights, mirrors, etc.
3.4
actual capacity
Q
maximum load, established by the manufacturer based on components strength and truck stability, that
the truck can carry, lift and stack to a specified height, at a specified standard load centre distance and
reach, in normal operating conditions
Note 1 to entry: The actual capacity depends on the configuration of the truck in terms of such variables as:

— lift height;
— reach of the boom;
— standard load centre distance;
— load handling device (fork arms or attachment fitted);
— stabilizing devices.
Note 2 to entry: This actual capacity defines the load handling ability of the particular truck as equipped.
Additional actual capacity ratings with removable attachments may also be established where permitted by the
appropriate stability test or by calculation verified by empirical data.
3.5
rated capacity
Q1
maximum load permitted by the manufacturer at the standard load centre distance (D) that the truck is
capable of lifting and transporting on fork arms in normal conditions with the boom fully retracted
3.6
reach
d
distance between two vertical parallel planes, one plane tangent to the front of the outside diameter of
the front tyres, the other plane described by the vertical projection of the centre-of-gravity of the load
to the ground
Note 1 to entry: The centre-of-gravity of the load (G) is defined in Table 1.
Note 2 to entry: See Figure 2 for examples of reach.
Note 3 to entry: For practical matters, d can be measured referring to point g, being g the vertical projection of
the centre-of-gravity (G) of the load onto the plane of the top surface of the fork arms.
