This SAE Standard applies to self-propelled off-road work machines. Included are the following categories:
Earthmoving
Implements and Attachments
Forestry
Road Building and Maintenance
Specialized Mining
Powered Industrial Trucks
This SAE Standard does not apply to Agricultural Tractors as defined in ANSI/ASAE S390 although some SAE standards are also applicable to Agricultural Tractors.
NOTE: Most standards relating to agricultural tractors and implements are developed by ASABE.
Rationale
This standard is being revised to remove agricultural tractors from the scope and update references to ASME which is no longer associated with the rough terrain fork trucks.
This change will allow this standard to be more easily used as a reference when needed to define the scope of other SAE standards. For SAE standards that are also applicable to agricultural tractors, the scope of the standard would then state in the scope section "… and Agricultural Tractors as defined in ANSI/ASAE S390.” This will eliminate the inadvertent application to agricultural tractors when SAE J1116 is broadly referenced in the scope section.
Regarding the current references to ASME, in 2005 responsibility for the B56 committees and standards was transferred from ASME to ITSDF (Industrial Truck Standards Development Foundation). The inclusion of Powered Industrial Trucks with the associated vocabulary (See Table 1) has been provided as a reference to provide a greater understanding to the other machine categories and associated vocabulary. A specific example cited is loader using fork attachment, which is covered by SAE standards versus purpose-built fork trucks, which are covered by ANSI/ITSDF standards.
The Machine Technical Committee (MTC) is a part of the Construction, Agriculture, and Off-Road Machinery (ConAg) Council. The MTC is responsible for standards related to machines, components, and systems of off-road, self-propelled work machines and associated equipment according to SAE J1116. The following are specifically excluded: powered industrial trucks (ANSI B56), agricultural tractors and implements, and on-highway vehicles as well as water and air transportation vehicles and/or machines. The committee harmonizes its standards with International Organization for Standardization (ISO) documents. Each MTC document has a "Subject Matter Expert" who is the liaison with the appropriate ISO Technical Committee. The MTC is comprised of eight subcommittees dedicated to creating, preparing and maintaining all relevant specifications, standards, and requirements for construction, agricultural and off-road machinery. These subcommittees include: MTC SC1 Loaders, Crawlers, Scrapers and Mounted Attachments MTC SC2 Sweeper, Cleaner, and Machinery MTC SC4 Forestry and Logging Equipment MTC SC5 Excavators MTC SC7 Roadbuilding Machinery Technical Subcommittee MTC SC8 Tire and Rim MTC SC9 Trenching and Horizontal Earthboring Machines Participants in the SAE MTC committee include OEMs, suppliers, consulting firms, government, and others across the construction and agriculture industries.

SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
