8 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS
8.1 Introduction
Part III contains safety standards for the design and construction of unmanned guided industrial vehicles. Part IV contains safety standards applicable to automated functions of manned industrial vehicles.
8.2 Rated Capacity of Towing Vehicles
8.2.1 Guided tow vehicles shall have an established breakaway drawbar pull, maximum drawbar pull, and normal rated drawbar pull. These ratings are based on level, dry surfaces having a minimum coefficient of friction with the driving and braking tire of 0.6. The battery weight and size used shall be within limits stated on the vehicle nameplate.
8.2.2 Maximum drawbar puli in pounds (Newtons) shall he defined by the manufacturer at the specified coupler height under the conditions of para. 8.2.1 when traveling at a minimum of 0.22 rn/s and for a minimum of 30 sec.
8.2.3 Normal rated drawbar pull is the greatest continuous towing force in pounds (Newtons) which can be sustained under the conditions of para. 8.2.1 including rated speed or duty cycle.
8.2.4 lIthe vehicle has load-carrying capacity in addition to towing capabilities, load testing is also required. See para. 8.3.
8.2.5 Drawbar pull rating tests shall be performed as follows:
(a) Test Conditions
(1) course surface to be as defined in para. 8.2.1
(2) the test cycle is made up of the following:
(a) one 61 m run with trailer load as per para.
8.2.5(a)(2)
(b) one 61 m run with trailer load as per para.
8.2.5(a)(3)
(c) vehicle shall accelerate to rated speed during each run and loads shall be cycled at least 6 times per hour
(d) continuous test until a stable temperature has been reached for a minimum of 1 hr on components
(b) In addition to the test in para. 8.2.5(b), alternate rated drawbar pull is the sustained towing force in pounds (Newtons) using special test conditions and test methods to suit the user’s operation.
8.3 Rated Capacity of Load-Carrying Vehicles
8.3.1 Guided load-carrying vehicles shall have an established carrying capacity. This rating is based on level, dry surfaces having a minimum coefficient of friction with the driving and braking tire of 0.6. The battery weight and size used shall be within limits stated on the vehicle nameplate.
8.3.2 If the vehicle has towing capacity in addition to load-carrying capabilities, towing testing is also required. See para. 8.2.
8.3.3 Load-carrying capacity tests shall be performed as follows:
(a) Test Conditions
(1) as defined in para. 8.3.1
(2) vehicle with rated load
(3) unloaded vehicle
(b) Test A4ethods
(1) the test cycle is made up of the following:
(a) one 61 m run carrying full rated load
(b) one 61 m run with no load condition
(c) vehicle shall accelerate to rated speed during each run and loads shall be cycled at least 6 times per hour
(d) continuous test until a stable temperature has been reached for a minimum of 1 hr on components
8.4 Additional Guided Industrial Vehicle Requirements
8.4.1 Fork-type guided industrial vehicles shall also comply with applicable sections of ASME B56.1 not addressed in this Standard.
8.4.2 Burden carrier-type guided industrial vehicles should also comply with applicable sections of ASME B56.8 not addressed in this Standard.
8.4.3 Towing-type guided industrial vehicles should also comply with applicable sections of ASME B56.9 not addressed in this Standard.
8.4.4 Other type vehicles may require additional considerations.
8.5 Vehicle Nameplate Data
On every vehicle, the manufacturer shall install a durable, corrosion-resistant nameplate(s) legibly inscribed with the following.
(a) vehicle model or vehicle serial number or both.
The vehicle serial number shall be stamped on the frame of the vehicle.
(b) weight of unloaded vehicle without battery or fuel (empty weight).
(c) designation of compliance with the mandatory requirements of Part III of this Standard.
(d) indication of type if in conformance with or rated per ANSI/UL 583 or ANSI/UL 558.
(e) maximum and normal or alternate rated drawbar pull for towing vehicles (see para. 8.2.5).
(f) rated load (weight, envelope, and center of gravity) and lift height, if applicable.
(g) identification of battery classification, if applicable, minimum and maximum weight and dimensions of battery(s), rated ampere-hour capcity, and nominal voltage.
