Cranes - Power driven winches and hoists - Part 2: Power driven hoists

This document is applicable to the design, information for use, maintenance and testing of power driven hoists, compact or open construction, with or without trolleys for which the prime mover is an electric, hydraulic or pneumatic motor. They are designed for the lifting and lowering of loads that are suspended on hooks or other load lifting attachments. Hoists can be used either in cranes, in other machines, e.g. rail dependent storage and retrieval equipment, monorail conveyors or by itself.
This document is applicable to the following types of hoist:
a)   rope hoist;
b)   chain hoist;
c)   belt hoist, except belt hoist with steel belts as hoisting media;
d)   NGL building hoists including supporting structures;
e)   Winches used for lifting operation.
This document is not applicable of the following hazards:
f)   this document does not cover hazards related to builders hoists for the transport of goods as defined in Noise Outdoor Directive (OND) 2000/14/EC;
g)   this document does not cover hazards related to the lifting of persons.
This document does not specify additional requirements for hazards related to the use of hoists in explosive atmospheres in underground mines.
The significant hazards covered by this document are identified in Clause 4.
This document is not applicable to power driven hoists that are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.

European foreword
This document (prEN 14492-2:2019/prA1:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee
CEN/TC 147 “Cranes-Safety”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document has been prepared under a Standardization Request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association and supports essential requirements of
EU Directive(s) / Regulation(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s) / Regulation(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part
of this document.

1 Modifications to the European foreword
th
Replace the 5 paragraph with the following:
"CEN/TC 147 WG 17 has reviewed EN 14492-2:2019 to adapt the standard to the technical progress, new
requirements and changes in standards referenced; the main topics are:
— the standard references in Clause 2 and in the Bibliography are all dated;
— the Annex ZA is updated.”.
2 Modifications to the Introduction
Replace the whole clause with the following:
"This document is a harmonized standard to provide one means for power driven hoists to conform to
the essential health and safety requirements of the EU Directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery) and essential
safety requirements of EU Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX).
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market
players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered
are indicated in the scope of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or
type-B standards, the provisions of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the
other standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this
type-C standard.".
