EN 12312-11:2005 (E) 4 Introduction This document specifies health and safety requirements, as well as some functional and performance requirements for container/pallet dollies and loose load trailers intended for moving unit load devices (
23、ULD), loose freight, mail and baggage on an airport. The minimum essential criteria are considered to be of primary importance in providing safe, serviceable, economical and practical container/pallet dollies and loose load trailers. Deviations from the recommended criteria should occur only after c
24、areful 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 both parts of EN ISO 12100. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous sit
25、uations and events are covered are indi- cated 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 pro- visions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines
26、that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard. EN 12312-11:2005 (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
27、dollies and loose load trailers 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) manufacturer
28、s as well as airlines and handling agencies. This document applies to container/pallet dollies using ball-mat, inverted cargo castors, or rollers and loose load trailers intended to be used for the transportation of baggage and cargo on airports (Examples see Annex A). This document does not apply t
29、o trailers of similar design as used on public roads, e.g. truck type trailers. 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 document is not applicable to container/pallet dollies and loose loa
30、d trailers which are manufactured before the date of publication by CEN of this document. 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. 2 Normative r

41、e load trailers and which require action to eliminate or reduce risks. 5 Safety requirements and/or measures 5.1 General requirements 5.1.1 Container/pallet dollies and loose load trailers shall conform to the relevant requirements of EN 1915-1, unless otherwise specified in this document. They shal
42、l also conform to the specific requirements of this document. 5.1.2 Stability and strength calculations shall be carried out in accordance with EN 1915-2. 5.1.3 Container/pallet dollies and loose load trailers shall be designed to be towed in trains, e.g. by having a drawbar at one end and a towing
43、coupling at the other. 5.1.4 When dollies/trailers are towed in trains, the design shall be such as to avoid any contact between adjacent dollies/trailers and ULDs intended to be carried when dollies/trailers are at 90 to each other. 5.1.5 Control device actuators, e.g. handles, foot pedals, shall b
44、e accessible and positioned so that they can be operated whilst wearing protective clothing, e.g. cold weather protection, safety shoes. Handles shall be designed to be operated by gloved hands. 5.1.6 In the case where it is not possible to identify clearly the crushing, shearing and falling points
45、in this document, the manufacturer shall carry out a specific risk assessment. The manufacturer shall also carry out a specific risk assessment for the interface with other machines. NOTE This risk assessment is part of the general legal risk assessment. 5.2 Structure 5.2.1 The support structure sti
46、ffness shall be such that the requirements of Annex C, in respect of the support area, are satisfied taking into account the dimensions and masses of the payloads given in Annex D. 5.2.2 The structure of the trailer/dolly shall include no projections or corners that could cause injury, e.g. corners
47、shall be chamfered to a minimum radius of 3 mm unless smooth corners are provided by the intrinsic design of the standard material profiles used in its construction. 5.3 Platform 5.3.1 On loose load trailers, drainage shall be provided to avoid accumulation of water on the platform. 5.3.2 On loose l
48、oad trailers, the loading platform shall be designed to ease loading and assist with load stability, e.g. the loading platform may be sloped towards the centre. 5.3.3 The platform of dollies shall be designed to keep the efforts needed for manual movements of ULDs within acceptable limits. 5.3.4 All parts of the platform structure of dollies, including retractable components, shall be at least 13 mm (0,5 in) below the top of the conveying surface.
