Cranes - Requirements for container handling spreaders

This European Standard specifies safety requirements for spreaders used with cranes designed for the purpose of handling ISO containers based on ISO 668 including other lengths such as 45 ft. The connection between the spreader and the container is by the use of twistlocks that engage into the container’s upper corner castings.
The standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to container handling spreaders, when used as intended and under conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
The spreader is interfaced to the crane’s control and safety system.
This European Standard does not cover the following types of spreaders:
- hand operated spreaders (without external power supply);
- bottom lift grapple spreaders used for swapbodies and road trailers.
This European Standard does not deal with the lifting of persons.
This European Standard is applicable to spreaders which are manufactured after the date of approval by CEN of this standard.

Krane - Anforderungen an Spreader zum Umschlag von Containern

Diese Europäische Norm legt sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen an Spreader fest, die mit Brücken- und Portalkranen angewendet und zum Zweck des Umschlags von ISO-Containern nach ISO 668 sowie von Containern mit anderen Längen als 45 (ft) konstruiert werden. Die Verbindung zwischen dem Spreader und dem Container erfolgt durch Drehzapfen, die in die oberen Eckbeschläge des Containers eingreifen.
Die Norm erfasst alle signifikanten Gefährdungen, Gefährdungssituationen und Gefahr bringende Ereignisse, die für die Spreader zutreffen, wenn sie unter den vom Hersteller vorgesehenen Bedingungen bestimmungs¬gemäß angewendet werden (siehe Abschnitt 4).
Der Spreader ist mit dem Steuerungs- und Sicherheitssystem des Krans verbunden.
Die folgenden Spreadertypen werden in dieser Europäischen Norm nicht erfasst:
-   handbetriebene Spreader (ohne externe Energieversorgung);
-   Spreader mit Greifzangen, die für Wechselbehälter und Sattelanhänger eingesetzt werden.
In dieser Europäischen Norm wird das Heben von Personen nicht behandelt.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Spreader, die nach dem Datum der Zustimmung des CEN zu dieser Norm hergestellt sind.
