GB/T 8498-2008 in English

《GB/T 8498-2008土方机械 基本类型 识别、术语和定义》由TC334（全国土方机械标准化技术委员会）归口，主管部门为中国机械工业联合会。
本标准按土方机械的下列作业用途规定了其分类的术语、定义和识别结构:
---挖掘;
---装载;
---运输;
---对土壤和其他物料的钻孔、摊铺、压实或挖沟,例如在道路、堤坝和建筑工地上工作。
本标准的用途是提供一种确切的方法,按机器的功能和构造来识别机器。
附录A 提供了有关本标准采用的识别结构的信息,以及利用该结构给出土方机械分类,并进而导出详尽的识别方法。
附录B提供了每种土方机械司机操纵形式的框图。

This Standard gives terms and definitions and an identification structure for classifying earth-moving machinery designed to perform the following operations:
— Excavation;
— Loading;
— Transportation; and
— Drilling, spreading, compacting or trenching of earth and other materials, for example, during work on roads and dams, and on building sites.
The purpose of This Standard is to provide a clear means of identifying machines according to their function and design configurations.
Appendix A provides a procedure based on the identification structure used by this Standard for classifying the machinery and for introducing detailed identifications consistent with the logic implied by the structure.
Appendix B provides a hierarchy of the operator control configurations for earth-moving machinery.
