Categories of Off-Road Self-Propelled Work Machines
J1116_200411
This SAE Standard applies to self-propelled off-road work machines. Included are the following categories:
Earthmoving
Implements and Attachments
Agricultural Tractors
Forestry
Road Building and Maintenance
Specialized Mining
Powered Industrial Trucks
In spite of the appearance of the same names, such as tractors in more than one category, further development of this and related standards will demonstrate that there are differences in the fully-equipped working machine that may require distinction as to intended end-point field usage. These differences include:
Names of optional implements
Names of components of optional implements
Definitions of specification terms as affected by installed optional implements
Different mounting provisions on the machines for implements and other attachments
Differences in design to achieve objectives for performance, durability, or operator or public safety
