The loads shall include all actual static and dynamic forces both vertical and horizontal, all wind forces, and all forces applied to the platform during loading and unloading. 5.1.1.4 The minimum dynamic forces to be used for the calculations of 5.1.1.3 shall result from: a) the total vertical load (this includes the rated load and the selfweight of the moving parts of the structure) increased by 40 % and; b) 10 % of the rated load taken as acting horizontally at platform level, in the direction causing the maximum stress in the part being considered. If side barriers prevent movement of the load in a particular direction this direction need not be considered. 5.1.1.5 If persons are to be carried on the platform, their load shall be taken as 80 kg, concentrated in an area of 0,2 m by 0,2 m for each person, spaced apart at 0,5 m centre to centre and placed in the most unfavourable position on the platform for stress calculations. 5.1.1.6 It shall be possible for the forces produced when the safety device is operated, to be accepted without permanent deformation of the normal load bearing parts, when used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. 5.1.1.7
Every lifting table shall also be designed to at least: 1) in one case lift half the rated load distributed over half the length of the platform; 2) and in another case lift one third of the rated load distributed over half the width of the platform. In neither case shall hazardous tilting or deflection take place when used as intended by the manufacturer. SIST EN 1570:1999+A2:2010

If the machine is only partly enclosed by an imperforate rigid guard, then these gaps or an acceptable alternative (in accordance with clause 5.2.2), shall be provided in the parts of the machine not enclosed. If a perforate rigid guard is used then this shall comply with the requirements of standards EN 294 and EN 811. 5.2.6 If a mechanically actuated trip device is fitted to the outer edges of the platform then it is necessary to maintain only the minimum gaps for fingers inside the area safeguarded by the device. The outer surface of the device shall be not more than 8 mm from the outer edge of the platform as shown in figure 3. SIST EN 1570:1999+A2:2010

Figure 3 — Arrangement of mechanically actuated trip device 5.2.7 Safety devices shall operate so that the moving part causing the hazard comes to a stop before injury is caused. They shall not create another hazard. Where a mechanically actuated trip device (e.g. hanging or pivoted trip bar) is fitted to the underside of the platform, the trip device when actuated shall stop all movement of the platform downwards and hold it stopped until the Down control has been released, the obstruction removed, the device reset (either manually or automatically) and the down control re-operated. It shall always be possible to raise the platform in order to clear the obstruction. 5.2.8 All moving parts and parts which pass each other or fixed structures, and which persons may contact, shall have no sharp edges, no sharp angles and no rough surfaces. 5.2.9 All moving parts that could entangle a person or their clothing shall be avoided by design or where this is not possible they shall be guarded. 5.2.10 All nip points (belts, chains, ropes passing over pulleys flexible couplings, elements of telescopic guides, etc) shall be safeguarded to prevent drawing-in or injury to any persons. Care shall be taken that the guard itself does not form a hazard. 5.2.11 !Self-propelled lifting tables that are manually controlled shall be fitted with an audible warning device controlled from the operating position. If the automatically controlled lifting table is intended to be used in an area from which persons are not excluded, persons shall be automatically protected from impact of the lifting table (e.g. by pressure sensitive buffers or photo-electric devices) and an acoustic and/or visual warning device (e.g. flashing lamp) shall operate whenever movement takes place." 5.2.12 Lifting tables which have a fixed control point on the platform, shall have at least one standing place with an area of 0,5 m by 0,6 m, with a secure handhold for the operator. If outward opening gates are fitted they shall be automatically interlocked (e.g. electrically, pneumatically) with the control system of the vertical travel of the platform (interlocks shall be in accordance with EN 1088). 5.2.13 All lifting tables that have a vertical travel of more than 2,0 m shall be fitted with means to prevent persons or goods falling from the platform. 5.2.14 For persons these means shall, as a minimum, consist of guard-rails at least 1,1 m high, toeguards at 0,15 m high and intermediate guard-rails not further than 0,5 m from either the guard-rail or toeguards. If gates or opening parts of the barrier are fitted, they shall be interlocked with the control system so that the platform can be moved only when the barrier is closed. Furthermore outward opening parts shall be interlocked in such a way that these parts can only be opened when the platform is in a clearly defined access position. SIST EN 1570:1999+A2:2010

1,6 m/s, when travelling with the platform fully lowered, but shall also be capable of having their speed reduced to 1,1 m/s, by the operator. The horizontal travelling speed of “ride-on” self-propelled lifting tables shall not exceed 1,6 m/s, when travelling with the platform fully lowered. When the platform is not fully lowered the travelling speed shall be automatically limited to not more than
0,6 m/s, except where the platform is “safe by position”. SIST EN 1570:1999+A2:2010

Where the platform surface, or part of it (e.g. a turntable), can rotate, and it can be walked on at bottom level, an arrangement shall be present which prevents unintentional rotation when lowered. 5.5 Operator control position 5.5.1 The operator’s position shall give the operator a clear view of the hazardous parts of the platform and its load at all times throughout its vertical movement (see 5.2.15). If the operator’s position is not determined by the manufacturer, see clause 7. In the case of self-propelled lifting tables the operator shall have a clear view of the horizontal travel of the lifting table.
