3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 12100-1:2003 apply.
Earth-moving machinery and their families are defined in EN ISO 6165 [2].
Definitions used in EN and ISO standards referred to in this European Standard are also valid for this
document.
Additional definitions specifically needed for this European Standard are added below.
3.1
intended operation
use in earth-moving operation e.g. excavation, loading, transportation, drilling, spreading, compacting or
trenching of earth, rock or other materials

EN 15573:2008 (E)
3.2
road
1
public traffic area for use by motor vehicles for travel or transportation, with the exception of the sites of
temporary road works e.g. for repairs, maintenance, alterations, improvements, installations or any other
works to, above or under a road, including works to road equipment (lighting, barriers, walls…) and roads not
open to the public e.g. on new housing and industrial developments, to which public traffic is not permitted
3.3
travel on the road
use on the road for purposes other than intended operation i.e. travelling between sites of work, to and from
the site of normal storage, or travelling for refuelling of the machine
3.4
tracklaying
(tracked/crawler)

(roller)
machine with more than two wheels on one or more of the axles, used primarily for compaction performance
(for road levelling)
4 Safety requirements and/or protective measures
4.1 General safety
Earth-moving machinery intended for travel on the road shall comply with the requirements and/or protective
measures of EN 474 or EN 500, so far as not modified by requirements of this European Standard.
NOTE Machinery is covered by directive 98/37/EC [29].
4.2 Dimensions and masses
4.2.1 General
Machines shall be designed in accordance with the requirements of 4.2.2 to 4.2.6, and equipped so that their
dimensions and mass minimise disruptions to the traffic on public roads.
Dimensions and masses of earth-moving machinery shall be determined in accordance with ISO 6016. Unless
specifically designed for the purpose of carrying loads during travel on the road i.e. dumpers, the mass of
earth-moving machinery does not include any load other than loose tools or appliances necessary for the
intended operation and carried on the machine during travel on the road.
Dimensional measurements of earth-moving machinery shall be in accordance with ISO 6746-1 and
ISO 6746-2.
Machines shall be assessed with equipment and attachments in the transport configuration as specified by the
manufacturer. See also Annex A of ISO 5006.

4.2.2 Maximum mass
The maximum mass of earth-moving machinery designed to travel on the road should not exceed the limits
defined in Table 1:
Table 1 — Maximum mass
Machine configuration Maximum mass
kg
2-axle machines 19 000
3-axle machines 26 000
4-axle machines 32 000
Tracklaying machines 24 000
Multiple wheel machines 19 000

Subject to local conditions i.e. bridge capacities, the maximum mass of earth-moving machinery on certain
roads may be increased according to the following formula:
M ≤ 12 000 ×A
where
M is the maximum mass (kg)
A is the number of axles
NOTE 1 Earth-moving machinery with a maximum mass exceeding the limits shown in Table 1 may be considered as
abnormal transport and be subject to local use restrictions which are not dealt with in this European Standard.
NOTE 2 Load restrictions on roads may vary according to seasonal changes e.g. in very low or very high temperature
conditions.
4.2.3 Maximum axle load
The maximum axle loads of earth-moving machinery designed to travel on the road shall not exceed the limits
defined in Table 2.
Table 2 — Maximum axle load
Machine configuration Maximum axle load

Driven and non-driven axles 13 000 kg
Tracklaying machines 9 000 kg/m between first and last track roller (see also 4.4.2)

NOTE One or more A-deviations are relevant to this requirement. See Annex E.
4.2.4 Maximum length
The maximum length of earth-moving machinery designed to travel on the road shall not exceed the limits
defined in Table 3. The maximum length includes any mounted equipment or attachments located in the travel
position as specified by the manufacturer (see also Annex A of ISO 5006).

Articulated machines The length of the machine must be such that it is able to manoeuvre in left
and right directions for a complete circular trajectory (360°) inside an area
defined by two concentric circles, the outer circle having a radius of 12,5 m
and the inner circle having a radius of 5,3 m, without any of the machine's
outermost points (excluding mirrors, indicators, tyre bulge, folding
components – lift-up steps and flexible mud-flaps) projecting outside the
circumferences of the circles (see Figure 1).
