Rail dependent storage and retrieval equipment - Safety

Scope

This standard applies to all types of machines, restricted to the rails on which they travel within and outside of aisles, which embody lifting means and may embody lateral handling facilities, for the storage and retrieval of unit loads and/or long goods such as bar materials and/or for order picking or similar duties. Also included is the transfer equipment used to change between aisles. Control of machines may range from manual to fully automatic. This standard does not apply to machines derived from cranes (e.g. overhead travelling cranes), industrial trucks with free ranging capability or robots. Reference in this standard to racking, buildings and systems only applies where it is necessary to assess the hazards and risks at their interfaces with storage and retrieval machines. This standard covers specific hazards which could occur during erection, commissioning, testing, operation, maintenance and dismantling of machines and equipment. This standard applies to machines and equipment which are manufactured after the date of issue. Illustrations of examples of machines and transfer equipment to which this standard applies are shown in Annex A.
