J1295_198006 IDENTIFICATION TERMINOLOGY—PIPELAYERS

This standard applies to machines which are designed to raise, lower, and carry pipe and loads of similar nature.

The term pipelayer does not include tractors or loaders with side booms which are optional attachments, manufacturer or dealer-installed, to machines as defined in SAE J1057.

Note: Some related standards will apply equally to pipelayers and to tractors and loaders with side boom. Two such standards are SAE J743 and ANSI B30.14.
