Žerjavi - Nakladalni žerjavi
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. #Spremenjene določbe v zvezi z izračuni napetosti niso obvezne za žerjave, ki so bili zasnovani pred datumom razpoložljivosti standarda EN 12999:2011+A2:2017.$
OPOMBA: Za uporabo žerjavov za dviganje oseb lahko veljajo posebni nacionalni predpisi.
