Description / Abstract:
This SAE Recommended Practice applies to compact tool carriers
sometimes called, but not limited to mini-loaders, mini skid-steer
loaders or compact utility loaders. Machines having a
seated-operator position are excluded from this standard. However,
certain attachments for a compact tool carrier may provide a
seated-operator position for the operation of the
attachment.
Purpose
This SAE Recommended Practice is intended to provide personnel
protection guidelines for compact tool carriers.
This document is intended as a guide towards standard practice,
but may be subject to frequent change to keep pace with experience
and technical advances. This document provides performance criteria
for newly designed compact tool carriers.
