This standard BS EN 15000:2008 Safety of industrial trucks. Self propelled variable reach trucks. Specification, performance and test requirements for longitudinal load moment indicators and longitudinal load moment limiters is classified in these ICS categories:

• 53.060 Industrial trucks

This European Standard specifies the technical requirements, verification and test procedure for the longitudinal load moment indicators (LLMI) and longitudinal load moment control (LLMC) systems operating in the forward direction for self propelled variable reach trucks covered by EN 1459. This European Standard completes the requirements of Clause 5.8.4 Longitudinal stability of EN 1459:1998. The LLMI has been designated by the words longitudinal safety warning devices in EN 1459. This European Standard covers LLMI and LLMC systems for stationary trucks performing loading or placing functions on consolidated, stable and level ground. This European Standard does not cover the risk due to lateral instability, or instability due to the travelling of the truck. The LLMI and LLMC are not intended for warning of the overturning risk whilst the truck is travelling.
