Introduction
This European Standard has been prepared to be a harmonized standard to provide one means for the
mechanical design and theoretical verification of cranes to conform to the essential health and safety
requirements of the Machinery Directive, as amended. This standard also establishes interfaces between the
user (purchaser) of the crane and the designer, as well as between the designer and the component
manufacturer, in order to form a basis for selecting cranes and components.
This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in the EN ISO 12100.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards are covered are indicated in the scope of this
standard.
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.

4 Safety requirements and/or measures
4.1 General
Loads and load combinations, as given in 4.2 and 4.3, shall only be applied as relevant for specified
configurations and operational conditions of the crane.
The load actions shall be taken into account in proofs against failure by uncontrolled movement, yielding,
elastic instability and, where applicable, against fatigue.
4.2 Loads
4.2.1 General
4.2.1.1 Introduction
The loads acting on a crane are divided into the categories of regular, occasional and exceptional as given in
4.2.1.2, 4.2.1.3 and 4.2.1.4. For the proof calculation of means of access, loads only acting locally are given in
4.2.4.13. Combinations of regular, occasional and exceptional loads into load combinations A, B and C are
given in 4.3.
4.2.1.2 Regular loads
Regular loads are those loads that occur frequently under normal operation.
a) Hoisting and gravity effects acting on the mass of the crane;
b) inertial and gravity effects acting vertically on the hoist load;
c) loads caused by travelling on uneven surface;
d) loads caused by acceleration of all crane drives;
e) loads induced by displacements.
4.2.1.3 Occasional loads
a) Loads due to in-service wind;
b) snow and ice loads;
c) loads due to temperature variation;
d) loads caused by skewing.
10

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
SIST EN 13001-2:2014
EN 13001-2:2014 (E)
Occasional loads occur infrequently. They are usually neglected in fatigue assessment.
4.2.1.4 Exceptional loads
a) Loads caused by hoisting a grounded load under exceptional circumstances;
b) loads due to out-of-service wind;
c) test loads;
d) loads due to buffer forces;
e) loads due to tilting forces;
f) loads caused by emergency cut-out;
g) loads due to dynamic cut-off by lifting force limiting device;
h) loads due to dynamic cut-off by lifting moment limiting device;
i) loads due to unintentional loss of hoist load;
j) loads caused by failure of mechanism or components;
k) loads due to external excitation of crane support;
l) loads caused by erection and dismantling.
Exceptional loads are also infrequent and are likewise usually excluded from fatigue assessment.
4.2.2 Regular loads
4.2.2.1 Hoisting and gravity effects acting on the mass of the crane
When lifting the load off the ground or when releasing the load or parts of the load, the crane structure is
under effect of vibration excitation, which shall be taken into account as a load effect. The gravitational force
induced by the mass of the crane or crane part shall be multiplied by the factor ϕ . Dependent upon the
1
gravitational load effect of the mass and load combination in question, the factor ϕ is calculated in
1
accordance with either Formula (1) or (2). For definitions of unfavourable and favourable load effects see
4.3.3.
The gravitational load effect of the mass is unfavourable, Formula (1) applies:
(1)
φδ1+ with 0≤≤δ 0,1
1
The gravitational load effect of the mass is favourable, Formula (2) applies:
φδ1− with 0≤≤δ 0,05 (2)
1
The maximum values of δ from the Formulae (1) and (2) shall be used unless other values are justified by
measurements, calculations or obtained from the appropriate European Standard for the particular type of
crane.
The mass of the crane includes those components which are always in place during operation except for the
net load itself. For some cranes or applications, it may be necessary to add mass to account for accumulation
of debris.

4.2.2.2 Hoisting an unrestrained grounded load
When hoisting an unrestrained grounded load, the crane is subject to dynamic effects of transferring the load
off the ground onto the crane. These dynamic effects shall be taken into account by multiplying the
gravitational force due to the mass of the hoist load m by a factor ϕ , see Figure 1.
H 2
The mass of the hoist load includes the masses of the payload, lifting attachments and a portion of the
suspended hoist ropes or chains.

Figure 1 — Dynamic effects when hoisting a grounded load
The values of ϕ and ϕ shall be either calculated from the Formula (3) or be determined experimentally or by
2 2C
dynamic analysis. Where the Formula (3) is not used, the true characteristics of the drive system and the
elastic properties of the overall load supporting system shall be taken into account.
The dynamic factor ϕ (and respectively ϕ for Load combination C1, see 4.2.4.1) is calculated with the
2 2C
Formula (3):
(3)
φφ +×βv
2 2,min 2 h
where
β is the factor dependent upon the stiffness class of the crane in accordance with the Table 2,
2
v is the characteristic hoisting speed of the load in [m/s] in accordance with the Table 3,
h
different for calculations of ϕ and ϕ ,
2 2C
ϕ is the minimum value of ϕ and ϕ in accordance with Table 4.

2,min 2 2C
For the purposes of this standard, cranes may be assigned to stiffness classes ranging from HC1 to HC4 in
accordance with the elastic properties of the crane and its support. The stiffness classes given in the Table 2
shall be selected on the basis of the characteristic vertical load displacement δ.
Table 2 — Stiffness classes

The characteristic vertical load displacement δ shall be obtained by measurement or calculated from the
elasticity of the crane structure, the rope system and the crane support, using the maximum hoist load value
and setting the partial safety factors and dynamic factors to 1,0. Product type crane standards may give
specific guidance on selection of stiffness classes.
Where the characteristic vertical load displacement δ varies for differing crane configurations, the maximum
value of δ may be used for the selection of the stiffness class.
For the purposes of this standard, hoist drives shall be assigned to classes HD1 to HD5 depending on the
control characteristics as the weight of the load is transferred from the ground onto the crane. The hoist drive
classes are specified as follows:
HD1: Creep speed is not available or the start of the drive without creep speed is possible;
HD2: Hoist drive can only start at creep speed of at least a preset duration;
HD3: Hoist drive control maintains creep speed until the load is lifted off the ground;
HD4: Step-less hoist drive control, which performs with continuously increasing speed;
HD5: Step-less hoist drive control automatically ensures that the dynamic factor ϕ does not exceed
2
ϕ .

4.2.2.3 Sudden release of a part of the hoist load
For cranes that release a part of the hoist load as a normal working procedure, the peak dynamic action on
the crane can be taken into account by multiplying the hoist load by the factor ϕ (see Figure 2). Negative

4.2.2.4 Loads caused by travelling on uneven surface
When calculating the dynamic actions on the crane by travelling, with or without load, on or off roadways or on
rail tracks, the induced accelerations shall be taken into account by multiplying the gravitational forces due to
the masses of the crane and hoist load by a factor ϕ .

The dynamic actions shall be determined in one of the following methods:
— the factor ϕ is calculated using a simple single mass — spring — model for the crane as shown below.

The use of this simplified model is restricted to cranes whose actual dynamic behaviour corresponds to
that of the model. Where more than one natural mode contributes a significant response and/or rotation
occurs, the designer may estimate the dynamic loads using an appropriate model for the circumstances.

Introduction
This European Standard has been prepared to be a harmonized standard to provide one means for the
mechanical design and theoretical verification of cranes to conform to the essential health and safety
requirements of the Machinery Directive, as amended. This standard also establishes interfaces between the
user (purchaser) of the crane and the designer, as well as between the designer and the component
manufacturer, in order to form a basis for selecting cranes and components.
This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in the EN ISO 12100.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards are covered are indicated in the scope of this
standard.
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.

NOTE Specific requirements for particular types of crane are given in the appropriate European Standard for the
particular crane type.
The following is a list of significant hazardous situations and hazardous events that could result in risks to
persons during normal use and foreseeable misuse. Clause 4 of this standard is necessary to reduce or
eliminate the risks associated with the following hazards:
a) Instability of the crane or its parts (tilting).
b) Exceeding the limits of strength (yield, ultimate, fatigue).
c) Elastic instability of the crane or its parts (buckling, bulging).
d) Exceeding temperature limits of material or components.
e) Exceeding the deformation limits.
This document is not applicable to cranes that are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.

4.1 General
Loads and load combinations, as given in 4.2 and 4.3, shall only be applied as relevant for specified
configurations and operational conditions of the crane.
The load actions shall be taken into account in proofs against failure by uncontrolled movement, yielding,
elastic instability and, where applicable, against fatigue.
4.2 Loads
4.2.1 General
4.2.1.1 Introduction
The loads acting on a crane are divided into the categories of regular, occasional and exceptional as given in
4.2.1.2, 4.2.1.3 and 4.2.1.4. For the proof calculation of means of access, loads only acting locally are given in
4.2.4.13. Combinations of regular, occasional and exceptional loads into load combinations A, B and C are
given in 4.3.
4.2.1.2 Regular loads
Regular loads are those loads that occur frequently under normal operation.
a) Hoisting and gravity effects acting on the mass of the crane;
b) inertial and gravity effects acting vertically on the hoist load;
c) loads caused by travelling on uneven surface;
d) loads caused by acceleration of all crane drives;
e) loads induced by displacements.
4.2.1.3 Occasional loads
a) Loads due to in-service wind;
b) snow and ice loads;
c) loads due to temperature variation;
d) loads caused by skewing.

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------

SIST EN 13001-2:2014
EN 13001-2:2014 (E)
Occasional loads occur infrequently. They are usually neglected in fatigue assessment.
4.2.1.4 Exceptional loads
a) Loads caused by hoisting a grounded load under exceptional circumstances;
b) loads due to out-of-service wind;
c) test loads;
d) loads due to buffer forces;
e) loads due to tilting forces;
f) loads caused by emergency cut-out;
g) loads due to dynamic cut-off by lifting force limiting device;
h) loads due to dynamic cut-off by lifting moment limiting device;
i) loads due to unintentional loss of hoist load;
j) loads caused by failure of mechanism or components;
k) loads due to external excitation of crane support;
l) loads caused by erection and dismantling.
Exceptional loads are also infrequent and are likewise usually excluded from fatigue assessment.
4.2.2 Regular loads
4.2.2.1 Hoisting and gravity effects acting on the mass of the crane
When lifting the load off the ground or when releasing the load or parts of the load, the crane structure is
under effect of vibration excitation, which shall be taken into account as a load effect. The gravitational force
induced by the mass of the crane or crane part shall be multiplied by the factor ϕ . Dependent upon the
1
gravitational load effect of the mass and load combination in question, the factor ϕ is calculated in
1
accordance with either Formula (1) or (2). For definitions of unfavourable and favourable load effects see
4.3.3.
The gravitational load effect of the mass is unfavourable, Formula (1) applies:
(1)
φδ1+ with 0≤≤δ 0,1
1
The gravitational load effect of the mass is favourable, Formula (2) applies:
φδ1− with 0≤≤δ 0,05 (2)
1
The maximum values of δ from the Formulae (1) and (2) shall be used unless other values are justified by
measurements, calculations or obtained from the appropriate European Standard for the particular type of
crane.
The mass of the crane includes those components which are always in place during operation except for the
net load itself. For some cranes or applications, it may be necessary to add mass to account for accumulation
of debris.

4.2.2.2 Hoisting an unrestrained grounded load
When hoisting an unrestrained grounded load, the crane is subject to dynamic effects of transferring the load
off the ground onto the crane. These dynamic effects shall be taken into account by multiplying the
gravitational force due to the mass of the hoist load m by a factor ϕ , see Figure 1.
H 2
The mass of the hoist load includes the masses of the payload, lifting attachments and a portion of the
suspended hoist ropes or chains.

Figure 1 — Dynamic effects when hoisting a grounded load
The values of ϕ and ϕ shall be either calculated from the Formula (3) or be determined experimentally or by
2 2C
dynamic analysis. Where the Formula (3) is not used, the true characteristics of the drive system and the
elastic properties of the overall load supporting system shall be taken into account.
The dynamic factor ϕ (and respectively ϕ for Load combination C1, see 4.2.4.1) is calculated with the
2 2C
Formula (3):
(3)
φφ +×βv
2 2,min 2 h
where
β is the factor dependent upon the stiffness class of the crane in accordance with the Table 2,

v is the characteristic hoisting speed of the load in [m/s] in accordance with the Table 3,
h

2 2C
ϕ is the minimum value of ϕ and ϕ in accordance with Table 4.

2,min 2 2C
For the purposes of this standard, cranes may be assigned to stiffness classes ranging from HC1 to HC4 in
accordance with the elastic properties of the crane and its support. The stiffness classes given in the Table 2
shall be selected on the basis of the characteristic vertical load displacement δ.

The characteristic vertical load displacement δ shall be obtained by measurement or calculated from the
elasticity of the crane structure, the rope system and the crane support, using the maximum hoist load value
and setting the partial safety factors and dynamic factors to 1,0. Product type crane standards may give
specific guidance on selection of stiffness classes.
Where the characteristic vertical load displacement δ varies for differing crane configurations, the maximum
value of δ may be used for the selection of the stiffness class.
For the purposes of this standard, hoist drives shall be assigned to classes HD1 to HD5 depending on the
control characteristics as the weight of the load is transferred from the ground onto the crane. The hoist drive
classes are specified as follows:
HD1: Creep speed is not available or the start of the drive without creep speed is possible;
HD2: Hoist drive can only start at creep speed of at least a preset duration;
HD3: Hoist drive control maintains creep speed until the load is lifted off the ground;
HD4: Step-less hoist drive control, which performs with continuously increasing speed;
HD5: Step-less hoist drive control automatically ensures that the dynamic factor ϕ does not exceed
2
ϕ .

4.2.2.3 Sudden release of a part of the hoist load
For cranes that release a part of the hoist load as a normal working procedure, the peak dynamic action on
the crane can be taken into account by multiplying the hoist load by the factor ϕ (see Figure 2). Negative

value of ϕ means an uplifting force on the crane.

4.2.2.4 Loads caused by travelling on uneven surface
When calculating the dynamic actions on the crane by travelling, with or without load, on or off roadways or on
rail tracks, the induced accelerations shall be taken into account by multiplying the gravitational forces due to
the masses of the crane and hoist load by a factor ϕ .
4
The dynamic actions shall be determined in one of the following methods:
— the factor ϕ is calculated using a simple single mass — spring — model for the crane as shown below.

The use of this simplified model is restricted to cranes whose actual dynamic behaviour corresponds to
that of the model. Where more than one natural mode contributes a significant response and/or rotation
occurs, the designer may estimate the dynamic loads using an appropriate model for the circumstances.
