ISO 10567-2007 PDF

Full title and description

ISO 10567:2007 — Earth-moving machinery — Hydraulic excavators — Lift capacity. This international standard specifies a uniform method for calculating the lift (hydraulic) capacity of hydraulic excavators and a procedure for verifying those calculations. A PDF edition is available from ISO and national standards bodies in English and French editions.

Abstract

ISO 10567:2007 provides calculation rules for tipping load and hydraulic lift capacity, defines machine configuration and test conditions for verification testing, and establishes the concept of a rated lift capacity (as defined in ISO 7135). The document includes guidance for preparing a rated lift capacity chart (Annex A) and procedures for validation of calculated values.

Scope

ISO 10567:2007 is applicable to hydraulic excavators and covers the limits of hydraulic lift capacity and machine tipping. It defines the methods to calculate tipping loads and hydraulic lift capacities, the machine configurations to be used for those calculations, and test procedures (dead-weight and live-weight tests) to verify calculated values. The standard establishes how a rated lift capacity is determined and presented (rated lift capacity chart).

Key topics and requirements

• Uniform calculation method for tipping loads (end and side tipping) and hydraulic lift capacity.
• Specification of machine configuration and datum points for calculations.
• Verification testing procedures (test sites, test equipment, test conditions, recording results) including dead-weight and live-weight tests.
• Validation of calculated values against test data and reporting requirements.
• Definition and presentation of a rated lift capacity chart (typical format described in an annex).
• References to terminology and commercial specifications in ISO 7135 (for definitions such as "rated lift capacity").

Typical use and users

Used by hydraulic excavator manufacturers (design and product specification), test laboratories and certification bodies (type approval and verification testing), safety and compliance engineers, equipment dealers and rental companies (to publish rated capacities), and regulatory authorities that reference lift-capacity methods in procurement or safety rules. Engineers use it to produce rated lift capacity charts and to validate manufacturer claims.

Related standards

Key related standards include ISO 7135 (Hydraulic excavators — Terminology and commercial specifications), national adoptions or modifications of ISO 10567 (for example AS 10567:2024 which adopts/modifies ISO 10567), and historical predecessor ISO 10567:1992 (withdrawn and replaced by the 2007 edition). Other regional or industry standards on testing methods and machine safety may also be referenced in national implementations.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10567:2007 is the ISO international standard that specifies methods to calculate and verify the lift (hydraulic) capacity and tipping limits of hydraulic excavators.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers calculation procedures for tipping loads and hydraulic lift capacity, machine configuration for those calculations, test procedures and conditions for verification (including dead-weight and live-weight test methods), validation of calculated values, and the format/content for a rated lift capacity chart (Annex A).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, design engineers, test laboratories, certification bodies, equipment dealers/rental companies, and regulatory or procurement authorities concerned with accurate, comparable rated lift capacities for excavators.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2007 edition (Edition 2) is the current ISO edition (confirmed at ISO review stages), though some countries publish modified/adopted versions (for example AS 10567:2024). The original 1992 edition was withdrawn and replaced by the 2007 edition. Users should check national implementations for any modifications.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of ISO work on earth-moving machinery and hydraulic excavators; closely associated standards include ISO 7135 (terminology and commercial specifications) and other ISO/TC 127 publications covering performance, safety, and testing of earth-moving equipment.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Lift capacity, hydraulic excavator, tipping load, rated lift capacity, verification test, rated lift capacity chart, earth-moving machinery, ISO 7135.
