Introduction
This document is a harmonized standard to provide one means for loader cranes to conform to the
essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.
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 or hazardous 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 requirements 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.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards are covered are indicated in the scope of this
document.

This document specifies minimum requirements for design, calculation, examinations and tests of
hydraulic powered loader cranes and their mountings on vehicles or static foundations.
This document applies to loader cranes designed to be installed on:
— road vehicles, including trailers, with load carrying capability;
— tractors (road or agricultural), where only a towed trailer has capability to carry goods;
— demountable bodies to be carried by any of the above;
— other types of carriers (e.g. separate loaders, crawlers, rail vehicles, non-seagoing vessels);
— static foundations.
This document also applies to loader cranes equipped with special tools or interchangeable equipment
(e.g. grapple, clamshell bucket, pallet clamp, etc.), as specified in the operator’s manual.
This document does not apply to loader cranes used on board sea going vessels or to articulated boom
system cranes which are designed as total integral parts of special equipment such as forwarders.

European foreword
This document (prEN 12999:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 147 “Cranes -
Safety”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 12999:2011+A2:2018.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
The new requirements concerning limiting and indicating devices that are introduced in 5.6.1 of this
revision of the document are not mandatory to cranes manufactured the first 12 months after the Date of
Availability of the revised document.

Introduction
This document is a harmonized standard to provide one means for loader cranes to conform to the
essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
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 or hazardous 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 requirements 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.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards are covered are indicated in the scope of this
document.

1 Scope
This document specifies minimum requirements for design, calculation, examinations and tests of
hydraulic powered loader cranes and their mountings on vehicles or static foundations.
This document does not apply to loader cranes used on board sea going vessel or to articulated boom
system cranes which are designed as total integral parts of special equipment such as forwarders.
The hazards covered by this standard are identified in Clause 4.
This document does not cover hazards related to the lifting of persons.
NOTE The use of cranes for lifting of persons can be subject to specific national regulations.
This document is not applicable to loader cranes manufactured before the publication of this document.
For loader cranes designed before the publication of this document, the new provisions concerning stress
calculations are not applicable.
