3.2
extra-long reach equipment application
application of hydraulic excavator (3.1) equipped with extra-long reach equipment
Note: Extra-long reach equipment application includes the following:
——extra-long front equipment application consisting of an extra-long boom and an extra-long arm with lighter duty bucket for extra wide working range purpose;
——telescopic arm application;
——-telescopic arm with clamshell bucket application;
——extra-long front equipment demolition application consisting of an extra-long boom (multi-booms), extra- long arm and demolition attachment.
3.3
material handling
moving of scrap and loose bulk material, e.g. scrap iron, demolition debris and mulch
3.4
material handling excavator
hydraulic excavator (3.1) purpose-built for material handling and typically equipped with an elevated (fixed or movable) operator station
3.5
demolition application
demolishing by pushing or pulling, or fragmenting by crushing or shearing, buildings or other civil engineering structures and their component parts
3.6
swing
rotation of the upper structure of an excavator in relation to a fixed reference frame on the ground
3.7
working swing revolution speed
turntable-swing speed, reached in a 180° revolution of the upper structure with maximum rotation command input starting from a still position
Note: It is expressed in revolutions per minute (r/m).
3.8
deceleration swing angle
angle measured in degrees of swing while the swing motion is decelerated from working swing revolution speed to a complete stop (halt)
3.9
swing torque
torque which propels the upper structure relative to the undercarriage
Note: It is expressed in newton metres (N•m).
3.10
swing service brake
device or system to decelerate the rotation of the upper structure and to bring it to a stop in any position
Example: Frictional brake, electrically operated brake, hydrostatically or other hydraulically operated brake.
Note: See Annex A.
3.11
swing parking brake
device or system to hold the stopped upper structure in a stationary position
Note: See Annex A.
3.12
swing lock
mechanically engaged device designed to block the upper structure in a fixed position with respect to the undercarriage
Note: See Annex A.
4 Safety requirements and protection measures
4.1 General
Hydraulic excavators shall comply with the safety requirements and protective measures of ISO 20474-1, in as far as those are not modified by the specific requirements of this clause.
4.2 Operator station
4.2.1 Operator protection
4.2.1.1 Operator protective guard
Excavators with an operating mass greater than 1,500 kg shall be designed so that an operator protective guard can be fitted. The manufacturer, according to the intended use of the machine, shall offer a protective guard. The protective guard shall be in accordance with ISO 10262.
Note: For excavators used in demolition applications, additional requirements exist.
4.2.1.2 Roll-over protective structures (ROPS) and tip-over protective structures (TOPS)
4.2.1.2.1 Except for walking excavators (see 4.6.3), GB/T 25684.1-2021, 4.3.3 does not apply.
4.2.1.2.2 Hydraulic excavators with an operating mass of 1,000 kg up to 6,000 kg shall be equipped with a TOPS in accordance with ISO 12117. If the structure is compliant with the performance requirements given in both ISO 12117 (TOPS) and ISO 12117-2 (ROPS), the manufacturer may identify both standards (TOPS and ROPS) on the label.
4.2.1.2.3 Hydraulic excavators with an operating mass greater than 6,000 kg and less than 50,000 kg shall be provided with a ROPS in accordance with ISO 12117-2.
