OUR ACCREDITED TESTING CENTER

ECM features a highly specialized in-house laboratory for product and machinery compliance testing. We offer stability verification for industrial trucks according to the UNI ISO 22915-X series of standards (depending on the specific type). These tests are essential to ensuring the safety and reliability of trucks in the workplace, actively preventing the risk of accidents.

 

TESTING ON COUNTERBALANCED LIFT TRUCKS

During a recent session, our Certified Testing Laboratory performed a rigorous series of stability tests on a counterbalanced lift truck. At the client’s specific request, the tests were conducted in strict compliance with the UNI ISO 22915-1:2020 and UNI ISO 22915-2:2020 standards, which define the requirements and methods for verifying the stability of such equipment. The objective was to ensure the truck maintains stability under critical operating conditions, drastically reducing the risk of tipping over.

CONDUCTING THE TESTS

The tests were conducted using a tilting platform, in accordance with the criteria defined by the standards:

  • UNI ISO 22915-1:2020: Specifies the basic test criteria and stability requirements for industrial trucks.
  • UNI ISO 22915-2:2020: Specifies the stability tests for counterbalanced lift trucks equipped with a mast and load-handling attachments.

The tilting platform simulation included various tilt angles and maximum loads, meticulously verifying the stability of the vehicle.

 

TEST RESULTS AND CUSTOMER ADVANTAGES

Following a series of rigorous tests, the truck successfully passed the stability verifications required by the standards. Our Laboratory consequently issued the relevant Test Report, certifying full compliance. Passing these verifications is essential: it now enables the client company to market and deploy a safe, compliant, and reliable vehicle.
