What is ISO 10570 –frame lock for earthmoving machinery about?
Putting thought into the logistics of transporting heavy machinery ensures that your machinery reaches its destination without harming life or property.
ISO 10570 defines performance requirements for an articulated frame lock designed to prevent unintended machine articulation of earth-moving machinery as defined in ISO 6165 and with an articulated frame during either shipment or maintenance.
Who is ISO 10570 - frame lock for earthmoving machinery for?
ISO 10570 on frame lock for earthmoving machinery is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of earthmoving machinery
- Logistics divisions / transporters of earthmoving machinery
- Product design engineers
- Mechanical engineers
- Owners and operators of earthmoving machinery
- Contractors
- Project managers
- Maintenance crews
- Quality control and testing personnel
Why should you use ISO 10570 - frame lock for earthmoving machinery?
It is very easy for parcels, packages, and larger shipment to move or roll around while they are being transported. While some types of shipment remain unaffected from being tossed around; others, like earthmoving equipment, need to be secured to prevent damage.
ISO 10570 is a safety standard that ensures the safety of personnel and property during the transport or maintenance of heavy earthmoving machinery. Articulated frame locks are designed to prevent unintended articulation of an earth-moving machinery during either shipment or maintenance. The articulated frame lock is not intended for use while the machine is moving/travelling by its own means.
ISO 10570 also provides you with performance test requirements for articulated frame locks. ISO 10570 helps to mitigate risks to life and property during the transport and maintenance of earthmoving equipment, ensuring that projects proceed smoothly and without accidents.
