EN 12312-10:2005+A1:2009 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard specifies health and safety requirements, as well as some functional and performance requirements for container/pallet transfer transporters intended for moving unit load devices (ULD) on an airport. The minimum essential criteria are considered to be of primary importance in providing safe, serviceable, economical and practical container/pallet transfer transporters. 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 European Standard 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 European Standard. 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.

1 Scope This European Standard specifies the technical requirements to minimise the hazards listed in Clause 4 which can arise during the commissioning, operation and maintenance of container/pallet transfer transporters 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 European Standard applies to self-propelled container/pallet transfer transporters, with a seated driver. Examples of typical transfer transporters are shown in Annex A. This European Standard does not apply to: loading equipment with a height adjustment capability in excess of 150 mm; transporter-loaders (single platform loader with transporter capability, see EN 12312-9); roller-bed transport platforms mounted on unmodified commercial road chassis. This European Standard does not establish requirements for noise and vibration. Noise and vibration are dealt with respectively in EN 1915-4 and EN 1915-3. This European Standard is not dealing with hazards in respect to a standard automotive chassis and the traffic on the apron. This Part of EN 12312 is not applicable to GSE which are manufactured before the date of publication by CEN of this European Standard. 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."

They shall also conform to the specific requirements of this European Standard. 5.1.2 Strength calculations shall be carried out in accordance with EN 1915-2. 5.2 Platform design, guide rails and stops 5.2.1 Platform design 5.2.1.1 The transporter shall provide a rollerized, or equivalent, platform capable of transferring ULDs. The platform shall be adjustable in height to permit alignment with other ULD handling/storage systems having a nominal interface height of 508 mm (20 in). NOTE Typically, the range of adjustment may be between 450 mm and 580 mm (18 in and 23 in) from the ground. 5.2.1.2 Roller systems shall meet the requirements given in Annex C. NOTE Typical container and pallet overall dimensions and masses are given in Annex D. 5.2.1.3 The conveyor system shall be designed such that it takes into account the mating of two items of GSE. 5.2.1.4 A lead-in edge or roller, or equivalent, shall be provided commensurate with the design of the transporter, in order to absorb the initial impact of transferring ULDs. 5.2.1.5 All walkways, beams or other structures shall be at least 13 mm (0,5 in) below the tops of the conveying surface. 5.2.1.6 The transporter shall be so designed as to minimize the risk of damaging the ULD, e.g. by the avoidance of projections or sharp corners. 5.2.2 Guides and stops 5.2.2.1 Guides shall be provided as follows: Fixed side guide rails shall be provided on the platform suitably spaced to cater for the widest ULD to be carried; Guide rails shall have a minimum height of 100 mm (4 in) above the conveying surface; Funnel shaped lead-ins shall be provided at both ends. 5.2.2.2 Stops shall be provided as follows: Roll-off stops shall be incorporated on both ends of the transporter to preclude inadvertent movement of a ULD off the conveying system. Forward and aft stops shall be provided capable of containing all the ULDs to be transported; All stops shall have a minimum height of 50 mm (2 in) above the conveying surface; The maximum centre to centre distance between two stops on one end shall be less than the width of the smallest ULD to be transported; The minimum width of a stop shall be 50 mm (2 in) where practicable.
