Cranes - Loader cranes

This European Standard specifies minimum requirements for design, calculation, examinations and tests of hydraulic powered loader cranes and their mountings on vehicles or static foundations. This European Standard does not apply to loader cranes used on board ships or floating structures 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 European Standard does not cover hazards related to the lifting of persons. This European Standard is not applicable to loader cranes which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.
NOTE   The use of cranes for lifting of persons can be subject to specific national regulations.

Appareils de levage à charge suspendue - Grues de chargement

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les prescriptions minimales relatives à la conception, au calcul, aux examens et aux essais des grues de chargement hydrauliques et à leur montage sur des véhicules ou massifs pour montage à poste fixe.
La présente Norme européenne ne s'applique pas aux grues de chargement utilisées à bord des navires ou structures flottantes et aux appareils de levage à charge suspendue à flèche articulée qui sont conçus comme faisant partie intégrante d’un équipement spécial tel que des débardeuses.
Les phénomènes dangereux couverts par la présente norme européenne sont identifiés à l'Article 4.
La présente Norme européenne ne couvre pas les phénomènes dangereux relatifs au levage de personnes.
La présente Norme s’applique aux grues de chargement fabriquées après la date d'approbation de cette norme par le CEN.
NOTE   L’utilisation d’appareils de levage pour le levage de personnes peut être soumise à des réglementations nationales spécifiques.

Žerjavi - Nakladalni žerjavi (vključno z dopolnilom A1)

Ta evropski standard določa minimalne zahteve za konstrukcijo, izračun, preglede in preskuse hidravličnih nakladalnih žerjavov ter njihovih elementov za pritrditev na vozila ali statične podlage. Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za nakladalne žerjave, ki se uporabljajo na krovu ladij ali plavajočih konstrukcij, ali žerjave s členjeno roko, ki so konstruirani kot skupni sestavni deli posebne opreme, kot so zgibni polpriklopniki. Nevarnosti, ki jih zajema ta standard, so opredeljene v točki 4. Ta evropski standard ne zajema nevarnosti v zvezi z dviganjem oseb. Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za nakladalne žerjave, ki so bili izdelani, preden je bil objavljen kot standard EN.

This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards are covered are indicated in the scope of this European Standard. SIST EN 12999:2011+A1:2012
