Operator,
Form of address
Our products are suitable for use by male or
female operators. However, these instructions
use only the masculine form of address, here-
inafter "operator", to simplify the text.
Dimensions of the operator's compart-
ment
The dimensions of the operator's compart-
ment on our industrial trucks are designed in
accordance with standard DIN EN ISO 3411
and are accordingly constructed for both fe-
male and male operators. This standard also
stipulates ranges within which the operator's
body weight and dimensions should lie. EN
ISO 3411 specifies 114.1 kg for the maximum
body weight for a large operator.
CAUTION
Reduction in the load capacity. Negative effect on
stability.
If the actual body weight of the operator exceeds
114.1 kg, the maximum load weight must be reduced
by the difference compared with the information on
the load capacity diagram.
Example
The actual body weight of the operator is 160 kg. In
this case, the maximum load weight must be reduced
by approx. 46 kg compared with the information on
the load capacity diagram.
If these industrial trucks are operated by per-
sons who do not meet the criteria specified in
EN ISO 3411, the following effects must be
expected:
●
The ergonomic conditions may be less fa-
vourable
●
It may not possible for the operator to reach
the pedals and foot switches
●
The useable height below the overhead
guard may be too low
●
The adjustment ranges for the steering-
wheel and operating panel adjuster may no
longer be sufficient
●
The adjustment ranges for adjustable driv-
ers' seats may no longer be sufficient
●
There could be a negative effect on the
load-bearing capacity of the industrial truck
Please be sure to consult your responsible au-
thorised service partner.
