Full title and description

Industrial trucks — Verification of stability — Part 22: Lateral- and front-stacking trucks with and without elevating operator position. This part of ISO 22915 specifies the tests and criteria used to verify the static and dynamic stability of lateral- and front-stacking industrial trucks, including trucks fitted with fork arms, shuttle forks and/or integrated attachments, and trucks with a load carrier that can be shifted laterally or pivoted out of the longitudinal centre plane.

Abstract

ISO 22915-22:2014 defines test procedures to assess the stability of lateral- and front-stacking trucks under normal operating conditions, with or without an elevating operator position. It describes load and positioning configurations, test setups and acceptance criteria to help manufacturers, test laboratories and regulators confirm compliance with stability requirements.

General information

• Edition / version: Edition 1 (2014).
• Number of pages: 10 pages.

Scope

Specifies tests to verify the stability of lateral- and front-stacking industrial trucks (as defined by ISO 5053-1), applicable to trucks fitted with fork arms, shuttle forks and integrated attachments, and to trucks with load carriers that can be shifted laterally or pivoted out of the longitudinal centre plane. The procedures cover conditions representative of normal use and provide acceptance criteria for stable operation.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of truck configurations covered (lateral- and front-stacking types, with/without elevating operator position).
• Test set-ups for static and quasi-static stability checks (load placement, carriage/shuttle positions, operator platform elevations).
• Procedures for lateral-offset and pivoted load-carrier conditions specific to these truck types.
• Acceptance criteria and pass/fail rules for measured stability parameters.
• Reference to general test criteria and principles established in ISO 22915‑1 (series common rules).

Typical use and users

Used by industrial-truck manufacturers for type testing and design verification, by independent test laboratories performing stability tests, by compliance and safety engineers assessing machine safety, and by procurement and fleet managers who need to confirm stability characteristics for specific applications (warehouse stacking, narrow-aisle operations, multi-directional handling). Regulators and notified bodies may also reference these tests when reviewing equipment safety claims.

Related standards

This part is one element of the ISO 22915 series (Verification of stability) and should be used alongside ISO 22915‑1 (General test criteria) and other part-specific documents in the series. The standard also relies on terminology and truck-type definitions from ISO 5053‑1 (Vocabulary: Types of industrial trucks). Typical related documents include other ISO 22915 parts (e.g., Parts 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, etc.) and ISO 5053‑1 for consistent definitions.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 22915-22:2014 is the part of the ISO 22915 series that specifies tests to verify the stability of lateral- and front-stacking industrial trucks, with and without elevating operator positions.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers test procedures, load and carriage configurations, and acceptance criteria for stability verification of the specified truck types under normal operating conditions, including situations where the load carrier is shifted laterally or pivoted.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, test laboratories, safety/compliance engineers, procurement/fleet managers, and regulatory bodies concerned with the safe design and operation of lateral- and front-stacking industrial trucks.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 22915-22:2014 was published in December 2014 and was reviewed/confirmed in ISO’s periodic review process; ISO lists it as published and under systematic review at the time of the ISO record. Users should check national adoption or later amendments for country-specific status before assuming currency.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 22 of the ISO 22915 series (Industrial trucks — Verification of stability). The series includes a Part 1 (General) and multiple part-specific documents addressing different truck types and special test conditions.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Stability verification, lateral-stacking trucks, front-stacking trucks, elevating operator position, load offset, industrial trucks, ISO 22915, ISO 5053-1.
