Requirements for the production of multi-lifts according to the DIN 30722-1 standard

DIN 30722-1 — the basis for the compatibility and safety of multi-lifts

Modern multi-lift systems are widely used in municipal services, construction, logistics, the agricultural sector and industry. To ensure the interchangeability of containers, safe operation and high reliability of equipment, manufacturers are guided by the requirements of the German standard DIN 30722-1. The standard regulates the design of multi-lifts (hook loaders), swap bodies and roller containers of the 1570 system.

What does the DIN 30722-1 standard regulate?

The DIN 30722-1 standard applies to multi-lifts with a lifting capacity of up to 26 tons and roller containers with a hook height of 1570 mm. The main purpose of the document is to ensure full compatibility between different manufacturers of equipment and containers.

The standard defines:

• requirements for the design of multi-lifts;
• requirements for interchangeable loading equipment;
• requirements for roller containers;
• marking rules;
• acceptance test procedure;
• requirements for safe operation and maintenance.

Basic requirements for the production of multi-lifts

1. Unified hook height

One of the key requirements of the standard is the height of the receiving hook of 1570 mm. It is this parameter that ensures the ability of the multi-lift to work with containers from different manufacturers without additional modifications.

2. Structural strength

The frame of the multi-lift must withstand the load during:

• loading the container;
• transportation;
• unloading;
• work on uneven surfaces.

The design must ensure the reliability of all components and connections even at maximum loads.

3. Stability during operation

DIN 30722-1 provides for testing the stability of the equipment during loading and unloading of containers. The multi-lift must operate safely on platforms with a slope of up to 5° without losing stability and controllability.

4. Requirements for control systems

Particular attention is paid to control safety:

• the working area must be clearly visible to the operator;
• the equipment is equipped with work lighting;
• the remote control must have an emergency stop function;
• in the event of a signal loss, all dangerous movements are automatically stopped.

5. Safe access to equipment

Steps, platforms and handrails must meet safety requirements for service personnel. This minimizes the risk of injury during maintenance and operation.

Requirements for containers DIN 30722-1

To ensure interchangeability, the standard establishes precise geometric parameters of containers:

• roller arrangement;
• overall dimensions;
• parameters of the grab hook;
• attachment and fixation points;
• permissible load.

Thanks to this, a container manufactured according to DIN 30722-1 can work with almost any multi-lift of the 1570 system, regardless of the manufacturer.

Advantages of manufacturing multi-lifts according to DIN 30722-1

Manufacturing multi-lifts in accordance with the international standard provides a number of advantages:

✅ compatibility with containers from different manufacturers;

✅ high operational safety;

✅ compliance with European requirements;

✅ simplification of maintenance;

✅ increased equipment resource;

✅ higher liquidity of equipment in the secondary market.
