§292 「移動性による危険源」の定義

The definition of 'machinery presenting hazards due to its mobility' set out in section 3.1.1 (a) establishes the scope of the requirements set out in Part 3 of Annex I. According to the definition, the machinery concerned comprises:

machinery that can travel while fulfilling its main function. Examples of such machinery are dumpers, compactors, lift trucks, gantry cranes, track-mounted mobile cranes and lawnmowers;

machinery that remains stationary while carrying out its main application but is designed to travel from one working location to another. Examples of such machinery are drill rigs and mobile cranes, loader cranes and self-propelled or trailer-mounted mobile elevating work platforms that are mounted on stabilisers during lifting operations;

machinery which remains stationary in use but which is equipped with means, such as powered wheels or tracks or towing devices to enable it to travel easily from one place of use to another.

It is clear from the definition that the hazards due to mobility covered in Part 3 of Annex I are those due to the mobility of the machinery itself, not those due to moving parts of the machinery which are dealt with in sections 1.3.7 and 1.3.8.

The machinery concerned by the requirements set out in Part 3 includes, for example:

mobile construction equipment such as earthmoving machinery,

mobile road construction machinery,

mobile machinery for underground mines,

self-propelled and towed mobile agricultural, forestry and gardening machinery,

mobile machinery for the transport and lifting of goods or persons such as industrial trucks (including driverless trucks), mobile cranes and mobile elevating work platforms,

machinery mounted on means of transport such as loader cranes, compressors and tippers,

refuse collection vehicles,

mobile machinery for the off-road transport of goods or persons such as quads, buggies, off-road motorcycles and karts,

mobile winter service machinery,

mobile aircraft ground support machinery.
