Noise and vibration are dealt with respectively in prEN 1915-4 and prEN 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.
