Ehdotuksen tiedot

1.1 This document specifies the safety requirements for lifting tables which fulfil the following characteristics: - serving more than 2 fixed landings, and - having a vertical travel speed of no more than 0,15 m/s, unless safe by position, and - raising or lowering goods and not person(s), and - only accessible to persons during the loading/unloading phases, and - permanently installed. 1.2 This document does not apply to the following equipment: - permanently installed lifting tables, serving specific levels of a construction, with a vertical travel speed exceeding 0,15 m/s (EN 81-31); - lifting tables serving not more than two fixed landings of a construction (EN 1570-1); - lifting tables, serving more than 2 fixed landings of a construction for lifting operators, with a vertical travel speed not exceeding 0,15 m/s; - lifting tables carrying operators and installed in enclosures with a vertical travel speed not exceeding 0,15 m/s; - lifting tables used on ships; - lifting tables designed for artists and stage set features during artistic performances. 1.3 This document does not consider the additional requirements for: - electromagnetic compatibility; - operation in severe conditions (e.g. strong magnetic fields); - operation subject to special rules (e.g. potentially explosive atmospheres, mines); - handling of loads, the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metal, acids, radiating materials, particularly brittle loads, loose loads (gravel, tubes)); - hazards occurring during construction, transportation, and disposal; - equipment installed on the load platform or the replacing or maintaining of it; - integration into broader systems or other machines, etc.; - cable-less controls, i.e. wireless; - lifting tables where the hydraulic pressure is derived directly from gas pressure; - lifting tables powered by internal combustion engines. This document is not applicable to lifting tables manufactured before the date of its publication.
