Ehdotuksen tiedot

This document applies to the following types of cranes: 1. mobile cranes, with the following characteristics: - self-powered crane mounted on a chassis, equipped with a boom, which may be fitted on a mast (tower), and capable of travelling laden or unladen, without the need for fixed runways and which relies on gravity for stability, the chassis of the crane not having any capability to carry goods other than crane parts or equipment whilst travelling on public roads; - mobile cranes can operate on tyres or crawlers. In fixed positions, they can be supported by outriggers or other accessories increasing their stability; - the superstructure of mobile cranes can be of the type of full circle slewing, limited slewing or non-slewing. It is normally equipped with one or more hoists and/or hydraulic cylinders for lifting and lowering the boom and the load; - mobile cranes can be equipped either with telescopic booms, with articulated booms, with lattice booms - or a combination of these - of such a design that they can readily be lowered; - loads can be handled by hook block assemblies or other load-lifting attachments for special services. 2. mobile harbour cranes, with the following characteristics: - mobile crane without on-road approval; - the main purpose of the mobile harbour crane is cargo-, bulk-handling with a moderate to very heavy number of load cycles in accordance with ISO 4301-2:2020 or heavy lift operation. 3. off-road mobile cranes - mobile crane which travels on site. EXAMPLES Rough terrain crane, crawler crane. 4. on-road mobile cranes - mobile crane which has the necessary equipment to travel on public roads and on the job site. EXAMPLES All terrain crane, truck crane. NOTE 1 The term "boom" used in this standard is referred to as "jib" in the Outdoor Noise Directive see Bibliography [1]. NOTE 2 Examples for typical mobile cranes are shown in Annex A. This document is applicable to the design, installation of safety devices, information for use, maintenance and testing of mobile cranes. This document is applicable for mobile cranes mounted on other types of carriers (e.g. railcars, skidding systems, portals on rails, rubber tyred portals), but does not cover the additional hazards related to the mounting of mobile cranes on these types of carriers. Types of mobile crane types and their major components are given in Clauses A.1, A.2, B.1 and B.2. This document, unless explicitly referred, is not applicable to: 5. loader cranes (see EN 12999); 6. off-shore cranes (see EN 13852-1); 7. floating cranes (see EN 13852-2); 8. slewing jib cranes (see EN 14985); 9. variable reach trucks (see the EN 1459 series of standards); 10. to cranes, installed on an agricultural tractor, intended to tow a trailer which has capability to carry goods; 11. mobile self-erecting tower cranes (see EN 14439); 12. earth-moving machinery (see the EN 474 series of standards); 13. drilling and foundation equipment (see the EN 16228 series of standards). This document does not cover hazards related to: - the lifting of persons. NOTE 3 The use of mobile cranes for the lifting of persons is subject to specific national regulations. - the working in the vicinity of live overhead powerlines, see also ICSA N007 Guidance - Safe Crane Operation in the Vicinity of Power Lines. International Crane Stakeholder Assembly (see Bibliography [19]). - the combination of a mobile crane with other machinery. - the use of the mobile crane in potentially explosive atmosphere. - duty cycle operation such as grab, magnet, piling or similar operation, is outside the scope of this document. The hazards covered by this document are identified by Annex C. This document is not applicable to mobile cranes which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.
