This document specifies an additional test for verifying the stability of a laden truck fitted with a powered load-handling device, such as a sideshift, which can displace the centre of gravity laterally to a substantial, predetermined extent from the longitudinal centre plane of the truck or from the centred position. Such devices are used in this mode for depositing and retrieving a load.


A displacement is considered to be a substantial displacement if it is more than:


—    100 mm, for a truck with a rated capacity < 5 000 kg;


—    150 mm, for a truck with a rated capacity ≥ 5 000 kg and ≤ 10 000 kg;


—    250 mm, for a truck with a rated capacity > 10 000 kg and < 20 000 kg;
