For the purposes of this document, industrial trucks are wheeled vehicles having at least three wheels with a powered or non-powered driving mechanism — except those running on rails — which are designed either to carry, tow, push, lift, stack or tier in racks any kind of load, and which are controlled either by an operator or by driverless automation.

About This Item
TS ISO 5053-1 is a vocabulary standard for industrial trucks, with a focus on the names and definitions used for the different types of industrial trucks. It helps align terminology across manufacturers, users, maintenance teams and technical documents, so the same equipment can be described consistently in logistics, warehousing and material-handling contexts.
How industrial truck types are defined
In this standard, industrial trucks are understood as wheeled vehicles with at least three wheels and a driving mechanism that may be powered or non-powered. Vehicles running on rails are excluded from this scope. In general technical terms, this family of equipment includes machines designed to carry, tow, push, lift, stack or tier loads in racks. A clear vocabulary is important because these functions often overlap in real equipment, yet they represent different operating concepts.
Operator-controlled and driverless use
The scope also covers trucks that are controlled either by an operator or by driverless automation. This distinction reflects two common control philosophies in material handling: manual or supervised operation on the one hand, and automated guidance or task execution on the other. In practice, industrial trucks are widely used in warehouses, production plants, distribution centres and loading areas; this document standardises the terminology, not the machine design itself.
