EN 14439:2006 (E) 10 5 Safety requirements and/or protective measures 5.1 General Tower cranes shall be conform with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this clause. In addition, the tower crane shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100 for hazards relevant but not significant, which are not dealt with by this European Standard. 5.2 Design requirements on the load bearing structure 5.2.1 General Calculation (proof of strength and stability proof) shall be done using: the current standards (FEM 1.001 or DIN 15018-1, DIN 15018-2 and DIN 15019-1); Annex A for stability during erection or dismantling; FEM 1.005 for out of service stability. NOTE EN 13001 can be used on trial. When the complete set of EN 13001 will be published and experience is available then WGP2 will revise EN 14439 to introduce its reference including the necessary adaptation for tower cranes. 5.2.2 Load effects 5.2.2.1 Load effects acting on tower crane during the crane's life may be determined by calculation or by experiment and shall reflect realistic unfavourable operating conditions and sequences of actions by the crane driver. 5.2.2.2 The loads, moments (bending and/or torsion) etc. may be derived from a rigid body kinetic model of the crane and the load models. NOTE 1 Whilst the resulting variations of rotation or travel speeds are in relative good conformity with reality, the variations and instantaneous values of accelerations and resulting inner forces represent only mean values of the real process. For this reason sudden alterations of this mean values have to be amplified by dynamic factors to estimate the real values, corresponding to the data as defined under standards given in 5.2.1. NOTE 2 Structural deformations are to be allowed for if they result in significant increases in stresses. Calculations shall be based on the assumption of a deformed system in a state of equilibrium (second order theory). The calculation may be made with an appropriate and recognised method e.g. FEM 1.001:1998, 3.5 and 9.11. 5.2.2.3 The group classification of a tower crane shall be in accordance with FEM 1.001, booklet 2: crane
at least A3; jib
at least E2. When calculation is done using other standards (see 5.2.1), an equivalent classification is required. 5.2.2.4 Wind forces shall be determined with an appropriate and recognised method e.g. F.E.M. 1.001. 5.2.2.5 For travel gears of tower cranes, a verification of the energy absorption capacity of the buffers and of the effect of the buffer forces on the supporting structure may be dispensed with, on condition that the rated travelling speed is less than 40 m/min and that limit switches are installed in addition to buffer stops.
EN 14439:2006 (E) 11 5.3 Design requirements for equipment 5.3.1 Electrotechnical equipment The design requirements for electrotechnical equipment shall conform to EN 60204-32 and EN 13135-1. 5.3.2 Non-electrotechnical equipment: Design and selection of components and equipment 5.3.2.1 General The design requirements for non-electrotechnical equipment shall conform to EN 13135-2. 5.3.2.2 Mechanisms The mechanism group classifications in accordance with FEM 1.001:1998, booklet 2, Table T.2.1.3.4 shall be at least: hoisting winch or luffing gear M4; slewing gear

The influences of dynamic effects and friction losses have to be considered. The mechanism group classification in accordance with FEM 1.001, booklet 2 shall be at least: lifting or luffing ropes
M4; trolley travel ropes
M4, and M3 when rope braking is monitored (see 5.4.2.7); erection ropes
M3; stationary ropes

For control circuits built with electronic components: category 2. 5.4.2.3 A rated capacity limiter/indicator shall operate according the installed jib length.
EN 14439:2006 (E) 14 5.4.2.4 Rated capacity limiters - Operating requirements 5.4.2.4.1 General The rated capacity limiter shall operate at a load as close as possible to the rated capacity to prevent the crane operator from handling load greater than the rated capacity. When the rated capacity limiter operates due to a load exceeding the rated capacity or due to a load moment exceeding the rated capacity the limiter shall operate at a load or a load moment greater or equal to 1,1 times the rated capacity under normal conditions of use. NOTE The limitation of the load moment is ensured with at least 2 limiters, one operating on the rated capacity, the other on the radius. The procedure to set up the load moment limiters of the crane shall be described in the instruction handbook (Clause 7). 5.4.2.4.2 Overriding Provision for overriding the rated capacity limiter shall not be provided. Use of the alternative setting of the standard rated capacity limiter foreseen by the manufacturer is not considered as overriding if the crane is kept within its designed and stated capacity as given in the instruction handbook. 5.4.2.5 Rated capacity indicators 5.4.2.5.1 The rated capacity indicator shall give a warning of the approach to the rated capacity at a value between 90 % and 95 % of the rated capacity. On tower cranes provided with remote controls, this rated capacity indicator may be installed on the crane. It shall be a visual warning signal defined in 5.4.6.2. 5.4.2.5.2 The tower cranes shall be provided with indicators as shown in the Table 4. The choice is given between the solutions marked with a cross. Other means providing equivalent information can also be used. NOTE Indicators for the actual radius and the actual load give a more precise indication than the plates on the jib.
