Cranes - Bridge and gantry cranes
This document applies to bridge and gantry cranes able to travel by wheels on rails, runways or roadway surfaces, and to gantry cranes without wheels mounted in a stationary position.
NOTE Light crane systems (assembly of lifting devices, crane bridges, trolleys and tracks; wall-mounted, pillar and workshop jib cranes) are covered by EN 16851.
This document specifies requirements for all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to bridge and gantry cranes when used as intended and under conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This document does not include requirements for the lifting of persons.
The specific hazards due to potentially explosive atmospheres, ionising radiation and operation in electromagnetic environment beyond the scope of EN 61000-6-2 are not covered by this document.
This document is applicable to bridge and gantry cranes manufactured after the date of its publication as a European standard.
Krane - Brücken- und Portalkrane
Dieses Dokument gilt für Brücken- und Portalkrane, einschließlich Halbportalkrane, die durch Laufräder auf Schienen, Fahrbahnen oder Fahrwegen bewegt werden können, sowie für Portalkrane ohne Laufräder, die in einer feststehenden Position montiert sind.
ANMERKUNG1 Leichtkransysteme (Baugruppe aus Hebevorrichtungen, Kranbrücken, Laufkatzen und Schienen; wandmontierte Auslegerkrane, Säulen-Auslegerkrane und Werkstatt-Auslegerkrane) werden in EN16851:2017+A1:2020 behandelt.
Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen für alle signifikanten Gefährdungen, Gefährdungssituationen und Gefährdungsereignisse fest, die für Brücken- und Portalkrane maßgebend sind, wenn sie bestimmungsgemäß und unter den vom Hersteller vorgesehenen Bedingungen sowie bei vorhersehbarer Fehlanwendung verwendet werden (siehe AnhangA).
ANMERKUNG2 Der automatische Betrieb kann zusätzlichen Anforderungen unterliegen. Leitlinien sind in AnhangJ angegeben.
Dieses Dokument enthält keine Anforderungen an das Heben von Personen.
Die spezifischen Gefährdungen aufgrund von explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen, ionisierender Strahlung und Arbeiten in elektromagnetischen Umgebungen über den Anwendungsbereich der ENIEC61000-6-2 hinaus werden in diesem Dokument nicht behandelt.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Brücken- und Portalkrane, die vor dem Veröffentlichungsdatum dieses Doku
ments hergestellt wurden.
Appareils de levage à charge suspendue - Ponts roulants et portiques de levage
Le présent document s’applique aux ponts roulants et portiques de levage, y compris les semi-portiques, pouvant se déplacer par l'intermédiaire de roues (galets) sur des rails, chemins de roulement ou routes et aux ponts roulants sans roues (galets) montés en position fixe.
NOTE 1 Les systèmes de grue légère (ensemble de dispositifs de levage, ponts, chariots et de roulement; grues à flèche murale, à colonne et d'atelier) sont couverts par l'EN 16851:2017+A1:2020.
Le présent document traite de l’ensemble des phénomènes dangereux significatifs, des situations et des événements dangereux liés aux ponts roulants et aux portiques de levage lorsque ceux-ci sont utilisés conformément à l’usage prévu, le mauvais usage prévisible et dans les conditions prévues par le fabricant (voir l’Annexe A).
NOTE 2 Le fonctionnement automatisé peut être soumis à des exigences supplémentaires. Des recommandations sont données à l’Annexe J.
Le présent document ne traite pas des exigences applicables au levage des personnes.
Les phénomènes dangereux spécifiques dus à des atmosphères potentiellement explosives, au rayonnement ionisant et à l’utilisation dans un environnement électromagnétique, qui sortent du domaine d’application de l’EN IEC 61000-6-2, ne sont pas couverts par le présent document.
Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux ponts roulants et aux portiques de levage fabriqués avant sa date de publication.
