Vehicle lifts

This document is applicable to stationary and mobile vehicle lifts, which are not intended to lift persons but which are designed to raise vehicles totally, for the purpose of examining and working on or under the vehicles whilst in a raised position. The vehicle lift may consist of one or more lifting units.
Power supply to the vehicle lift by internal combustion engines is not considered.
The floor or ground supporting the vehicle lift in use is assumed to be horizontal.
This document does not exclude a person from entering a lifted vehicle on wheel supporting lifts, e.g. for special works or for periodical technical inspection, and vehicle lifts for rail-bound vehicles.
This document does not contain requirements for hazards which may arise on vehicle lifts where the carrying device can be tilted.
NOTE Noise does not play a role in vehicle lifts in the majority of cases and is therefore not considered in this document.
This document does not apply to:
- vehicle lifts movable when loaded;
- equipment for power driven parking of motor vehicles (see EN 14010:2003+A1:2009).
This document is applicable to vehicle lifts which are manufactured six months after the date of its publication as a European Standard.

Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen

Dieses Dokument ist anzuwenden für Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen, die zum Anheben von Fahrzeugen vorgesehen sind, um die angehobenen Fahrzeuge zu untersuchen und an oder unter ihnen in aufrechter Position zu arbeiten.
Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen sind nicht zum Anheben von Personen vorgesehen. Bei besonderer Verwendung, wie z. B. bei Hebebühnen für die periodische technische Inspektion von Fahrzeugen oder bei Hebebühnen für Schienenfahrzeuge, ist es jedoch zulässig, dass eine Person ein angehobenes Fahrzeug betritt, vorausgesetzt, der Hersteller hat angemessene Sicherheitsmaßnahmen festgelegt und in der Bedienungsanleitung darauf hingewiesen.
Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen können aus einer oder mehreren Hubeinheiten (stationär oder ortsveränderlich) bestehen.
Es wird vorausgesetzt, dass der Boden, auf dem die Fahrzeug-Hebebühne benutzt wird, horizontal ist (Toleranzen sollten angegeben werden).
Dieses Dokument ist nicht anzuwenden für:
-   Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen, die ein Fahrzeug teilweise anheben können.
-   Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen, die in beladenem Zustand verfahrbar sind.
-   Fahrzeug-Hebebühne, bei der das Lastaufnahmemittel gekippt werden kann.
-   Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen, die von Verbrennungsmotoren angetrieben werden.
-   Kraftbetriebene Parkeinrichtungen für Kraftfahrzeuge (siehe EN 1410:2003+A1:2009).
Lärm wird in diesem Dokument nicht berücksichtigt, da er in der praktischen Anwendung von Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen keine Rolle spielt.
Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar für Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen, die sechs Monate nach der Veröffentlichung als Europäische Norm hergestellt wurden.
