    Crawler tractors and loaders (see SAE J1057 SEP88 Sections 3.1 and 7.1 and SAE J727 JAN86 for description and nomenclature).
  2. b
    Graders (see SAE J1057 SEP88 Section 6 and SAE J870 JUL84 for description and nomenclature).
  3. c
    Wheel loaders, wheel tractors, and their modifications used for rolling or compacting, dozer equipped wheel tractors, wheel log skidders, skid steer loaders, and backhoe loaders (see SAE J1057 SEP88 Sections 3.2, 7.2, and 9 for description and nomenclature).
  4. d
    Wheel industrial tractors (see SAE J1092 JUN86 for description and nomenclature).
  5. e
    Tractor portion of semi-mounted scrapers, water wagons, articulated steer dumpers, bottom dump wagons, side dump wagons, rear dump wagons, and towed fifth wheel attachments (see SAE J1057 SEP88 Sections 4.1.1.4, 4.1.2, 4.2.1.1, 4.3.1.2, 4.3.1.3, 4.3.2, and 5 and SAE J869 JUL90 and SAE J728 JUL90 for description and nomenclature).
  6. f
    Rollers and compactors (see SAE J1017 JAN86 for description and nomenclature).
  7. g
    Rigid frame dumpers with full mounted bodies (see SAE J1057 SEP88 Sections 4.1.1.1, 4.1.1.2, 4.1.1.3, 4.1.1.5, and 4.3.1.1 and SAE J1016 JUL90 for description and nomenclature).
EXCLUSIONS—Machines whose use is predominantly, or entirely, in manufacturing plants and/or warehouses are specifically excluded. Rough terrain forklifts, 360 degree rotation excavators, and excavator based machines are also excluded along with rollover protection for the operator of an attachment with an alternate seat position from that used for mobile operation (for example, an attachment backhoe).
