DIN EN 16203:2010-11

This Standard specifies tests for the verification of dynamic lateral stability for counterbalanced lift trucks according to EN ISO 3691-1 that have a centre control, sit down, non-elevating operator, with a rated capacity up to and including 5000 kg when travelling on smooth level ground with the forks in travelling position. The purpose of this standard is to provide a procedure for verifying the lateral stability of the truck while travelling. The procedure can be used as a type test as well as an individual test. The truck shall be designed so that when travelling, laden or unladen, it will remain stable while being operated on smooth level ground under conditions of use defined by the manufacturer, e. g. by controlling travelling speed, steering rate of change, acceleration and deceleration, position of load handling device.
