BS EN 13035-2-2008 pdf download.Machines and plants for the manufacture, treatment and processing of flat glass Safety requirements Part 2: Storage, handling and transportation equipment outside the factory.
5.2 General requirements
5.2.1 Equipment shall be designed in accordance with EN ISO 12100-2:2003, 4.3 a), and shall be manufactured using materials complying with EN ISO 12100-2:2003, 4.3 b).
Equipment shall comply with EN 13035-1 when applicable unless otherwise formulated in this clause.
5.2.2 Mechanical strength
Moveable storage and mobile transportation equipment intended for use outside the factory shall be capable of withstanding a load of at least 1.5 times of the maximum permissible load without permanent deformation when transported by crane for speeds of less than 60 rn/mm. For transportation by all forms of truck for speeds less than 15 km/h where carried on forks, the equipment shall be capable of withstanding a load of at least 1.5 times of the maximum permissible load without permanent deformation. For speeds greater than 15 km/h, the equipment shall be able to withstand a force which results from the dynamic forces of 0.8 g in the driving direction (longitudinally) and 0,5 g in the perpendicular direction (laterally). If the equipment, e.g. stillages, is not able to take the forces alone, then it is necessary to give information as to how the forces can be absorbed by installing a further (additional) retaining system
5.3 Angle of lean
5.3.1 For transportation stillages placed on horizontal ground, the angle of lean shall be at least 4. With the vehicle placed on horizontal ground and under the most unfavourable loading conditions, frails shall have an angle of lean of at least 40 For in-loader transport stillages, the angle of lean shall be between 4° and 5°. If the equipment has an inherent glass-retention function, such as °colliers”, pallet, the glass can be stored and transported in a vertical position.
NOTE Colliers are metallic packaging devices used to store as well as to transport the glass to the customer. In the collier, the glass stays vertically so that these colliers° can only be opened after they have been put into an indined position. e.g. on a stillage.
5.3.2 When single plates will be taken off or on frails, a device is necessary which shows the operator that the angle of lean is maintained correctly.
5.4 Glass-retainIng systems
5.4.1 Provisions shall be made for glass-retention. If retention equipment is not part of the device, appropriate instructions shall be included in the instruction handbook (see 7.3).
The design of the glass-retaining devices shall ensure sufficient resistance with the glass, taking account of the glass weight to be carried and the dynamic forces which might be involved under extreme operating conditions for:
5.5 Bearers and cladding materials
5.5.1 Cladding materials shall be used in order to prevent contact with any substance harder than the glass and shall be softer than the glass. All fixings shall be sufficiently countersunk below any surface likely to come in contact with the glass for avoiding such contact even at the maximum load.
5.5.2 Back bearers
Cladding materials for back bearers and stanchions shall be sufficiently resilient to cushion the glass, e.g. by using rubber with shore hardness 400 to 500 A
NOTE Other materials may be used. but timber on its own is not recommended.
5.5.3 Base bearers
Cladding materials for base bearers shall be sufficient to resist the weight like rubber with shore hardness 70° to 80° A. To determine the area of glass support, 10 mm of support width/rn2 of glass-surface area shall be the minimum for glass of 2,5 mm or more. A higher value of glass support width/rn2 of glass area may be necessary for glass less than 2,5 mm and shall be determined by the manufacturer.
NOTE
i) Similar materials to those in 5.5.2 are used, but generally they will be harder;
ii) EXAMPLE lithe glass to be stored is 6,2 m x 3,21 m and at least 2,5 mm. the bearer width required Is 200 mm (6,2 m <3,2l mx 10 mm/rn’); so if two bearers are used, each should be 100 mm wide.
5.6 Special transport systems
5.6.1 In-loader vehicle
5.6.1.1 For reversing an automatic functioning, optical or acoustical warning device in accordance with EN 981:1996 is necessary to warn the persons in the not visible area and to give the hint to leave the place behind the in-loader.
5.6.1.2 All working and maintenance places shall be reachable from floor level, or appropriate means of access in accordance with EN ISO 14122 series shall be provided.
Integral hghting with illuminance level of at least of 100 Lx for working and at least of 50 Lx for maintenance places shall be provided
where foreseeable access is frequent (more than once a day):
— where it can not be expected that ambient lighting at the place of use is sufficient (e.g. inside the loading area and inside on the front platform).BS EN 13035-2-2008 pdf download.
