40、 7901:2002 BSI 23 July 2002 9 4 Stability 4.1 General The recovery vehicle shall be stable when casualty vehicle loads are imposed upon it in accordance with 4.2.1 and 4.2.2. 4.2 Static stability (stationary recovery vehicle) 4.2.1 Non-slewing booms Under all configurations of the recovery vehicle,

41、as stated by the manufacturer in the rated capacity chart, the tipping moment calculated for a load corresponding to the rated capacity of the recovery equipment shall not exceed 75 % of the value of the recovery vehicle righting moment. 4.2.2 Partially slewing booms and fully slewing booms Under al

42、l configurations of the recovery vehicle, as stated by the manufacturer in the rated capacity chart, the tipping moment calculated for a load corresponding to the rated capacity of the recovery equipment shall not exceed 60 % of the value of the recovery vehicle righting moment. NOTE Partially or fu

43、lly slewing booms that are lockable in the position as defined for non-slewing booms may be considered as a non-slewing boom when so locked. The tipping line that moments used in the calculations are taken from shall be clearly identified. In the case of partially and fully slewing booms, the variou

44、s tipping lines affecting stability as the boom slews within its full range of movement shall be clearly identified. Where tipping moment for the recovery vehicle is variable, e.g. free on wheels or stiff legs deployed, the stability requirements shall be calculated for all configurations. These cal

45、culations shall form part of the vehicle test certificate (see 21.1). For stability calculations the mass of the recovery vehicle shall be taken as its operational mass without any additional mass e.g. that of a casualty vehicle or ancillary equipment used for a lifting operation. All stability calc

46、ulations shall assume firm level ground. This shall be stated on the test certificate (see 21.1). 4.3 Dynamic stability (moving recovery vehicles, lift and tow condition) NOTE The speed limitation is an operational matter but manufacturers of recovery equipment should take this into account. The res

47、ultant front axle mass calculated for the application of a casualty vehicle load corresponding to the rated capacity of the recovery equipment shall be not less than 40 % of the plated mass of that axle. The recovery vehicle speed used for the calculations shall be either: a) a value, s, in km/h giv

48、en by the following equation: where x is the rear axle mass divided by front axle mass; or b) 80 km/h; whichever is the lesser. 5 Mechanical components 5.1 General All exposed components shall be made of corrosion resistant material or have a corrosion resistant finish e.g. paint or plating. Compone

49、nts that could be affected by road dirt e.g. bearings, controls and cylinder rods shall be sealed. Components that are intended to be handled during recovery operations or are accessible to the operator shall not have sharp edges or rough surfaces. NOTE Components which are intended to be fitted to other components during a recovery operation should be easy to assemble under adverse working conditions. s 160 x 2 -
