EN 12312-9:2005+A1:2009 (E)
4 Introduction This document specifies health and safety requirements, as well as some functional and performance requirements for container/pallet loaders intended for loading/unloading of unit loads with the exception of bulk material for all aircraft types commonly in service in civil air transport. The minimum essential criteria are considered to be of primary importance in providing safe, serviceable, economical and practical container/pallet loaders. Deviations from the recommended criteria should occur only after careful consideration, extensive testing, risk assessment and thorough service evaluation have shown alternative methods or conditions to be satisfactory. This document is a Type C standard as stated in !EN ISO 12100". The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this document. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard. For information, a summary of equipment functional design requirements covered by International Standards, e.g. ISO 6967 and ISO 6968, and IATA Airport Handling Manual are given in Annex A. SIST EN 12312-9:2005+A1:2009



EN 12312-9:2005+A1:2009 (E) 5 1 Scope This document specifies the technical requirements to minimise the hazards listed in Clause 4 which can arise during the commissioning, operation and maintenance of container/pallet loaders when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorised representative. It also takes into account some performance requirements recognised as essential by authorities, aircraft and ground support equipment (GSE) manufacturers as well as airlines and handling agencies. This document applies to:  Container/Pallet loader (self-propelled) single platform;  Container/Pallet loader (self-propelled) two platforms;  Container/Pallet loader/transporter (self-propelled);  Container/Pallet loader/transfer platform (towed). Examples of some of the different types of loaders are shown in Annex B. This document does not establish requirements for noise and vibration. Noise and vibration are dealt with respectively in !EN 1915-4" and !EN 1915-3". This standard does not deal with hazards in respect to a standard automotive chassis and from other vehicles on the apron. This Part of EN 12312 is not applicable to container/pallet loaders which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN. NOTE Certain measurements have been given in imperial units (in parentheses) following the metric measurements since the containers/pallets to be handled are based mainly on the imperial system. !This part of EN 12312 is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1915-1, EN 1915-2, EN 1915-3 (for vehicles) and EN 1915-4." 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated refer-ences, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. !deleted text" EN 954-1:1996, Safety of machinery — Safety-related parts of control systems — Part 1: General principles for design EN 1050:1996, Safety of machinery — Principles for risk assessment !EN 1837", Safety of machinery — Integral lighting of machines EN 1915-1:2001, Aircraft ground support equipment — General requirements — Part 1: Basic safety require-ments !EN 1915-2", Aircraft ground support equipment — General requirements — Part 2: Stability and strength requirements, calculations and test methods !EN 1915-3, Aircraft ground support equipment — General requirements — Part 3: Vibration measurement methods and reduction SIST EN 12312-9:2005+A1:2009

EN 1915-3 and EN 1915-4 unless otherwise specified in this standard." They shall also conform to the spe-cific requirements of this document. 5.1.2 Strength calculations shall be carried out in accordance with !EN 1915-2." 5.2 Overall dimensions The overall dimensions of the loader shall be kept to a minimum, consistent with its function in handling the loads described in Annex D, and in accordance with the requirements of 5.4. The overall height of the entire loader shall not exceed 4,0 m, when being driven with the platform(s) in the lowest position. 5.3 Platform design, guide rails and stops 5.3.1 Platform types Depending on the type, loaders may have one or two platforms. Single platform loaders shall provide a platform which is capable of up and down movement between the heights given in Annex D, as appropriate to the type(s) of container/pallets to be handled. Two-platform loaders shall provide: SIST EN 12312-9:2005+A1:2009



EN 12312-9:2005+A1:2009 (E)
8  a front platform which is positioned adjacent to the aircraft door and which remains at this position during the loading/unloading operation, or, for main deck operation, may be lowered to a lower deck position to interface with the main platform; and  a main platform, for up and down movement between the heights given in Annex D as appropriate to the type(s) of containers/pallets to be handled. 5.3.2 Guide rails and stops 5.3.2.1 Guide rails shall be provided along the whole length of both sides of the platform to guide containers/pallets onto the aircraft and to prevent them from falling off. On single platforms and the front platform of two-platform loaders they shall be adjustable laterally to align with the corresponding in-aircraft guides. On container-only loaders, guide rails may be fixed. Powered guide rails shall consist of either one or more sections and for each section be able to operate independently. All powered guide rails shall be in the “up” position when the main platform raises more than 150 mm from the rest position. For the transfer of loads, it should be possible for the operator to control the retraction/removal of the guide rails on the main platform, at any height of the main platform between 1 524 mm and the fully lowered position. 5.3.2.2 Stops shall be provided as follows:  on the front platform of a two-platform loader, automatic stops shall be fitted at the end adjacent to the main platform. These stops shall rise when the main platform moves down and retract when the main platform reaches the front platform level;  for loaders designed for main deck operation, and where the front platform is lowered to the lower deck position for interface with the main platform, stops shall be provided at the forward end of the front plat-form;  automatic stops shall be provided at the rear end of the main platform of a two-platform loader. An auto-matic stop shall be provided at the forward end in order to prevent overhanging pallet loads or container contours to interfere with the front platform;  on a single platform, retractable stops shall be provided at both ends;  where the stops on the rear end of a main platform of a two platform loader are capable of being manually controlled, it shall only be possible to retract the stops when the main platform is stopped at any height between the fully lowered position and 1 524 mm (60 in) above the ground;  where stops are provided at the forward end of the main platform or at the separation between two powered sections of the main platform, the forward end stop shall automatically retract as the main platform lines up with the front platform. The stop between the sections shall be controlled independently by the operator. 5.3.2.3 All stops and guide rails shall have a minimum height of 50 mm (2 in) above the conveying surface. NOTE For the majority of containers and pallets, a maximum height of 100 mm (4 in) is required to avoid damage to overhanging loads or the sloping undersides of some containers. For certain lower deck containers, the maximum height becomes 50 mm (2 in). The maximum height should take into account the types of containers to be handled. SIST EN 12312-9:2005+A1:2009
