Vehicle lifts

This standard applies to stationary, mobile and movable vehicle lifts, which are not intended to lift persons but which are designed to raise vehicles totally, for the purpose of examining and working on or under the vehicles whilst in a raised position. The vehicle lift may consist of one or more lifting units.
Power supply to the vehicle lift by internal combustion engines is not considered. The floor or ground supporting the vehicle lift in use is assumed to be horizontal.

Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen

Diese Norm gilt für stationäre, fahrbare und ortsveränderliche Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen, die bestimmungs-gemäß nicht für das Heben von Personen, sondern zum vollständigen Anheben von Fahrzeugen vorgesehen sind, um die angehobenen Fahrzeuge zu untersuchen und an oder unter ihnen zu arbeiten. Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen können aus einer oder mehreren Hubeinheiten bestehen.
Ein Antrieb der Fahrzeug-Hebebühne durch Verbrennungsmotoren wird nicht betrachtet. Es wird vorausgesetzt, dass der Boden, auf dem die Fahrzeug-Hebebühne benutzt wird, horizontal ist.

Elévateurs de véhicules

La présente norme s'applique aux élévateurs de véhicules fixes, mobiles et transférables, qui ne sont pas prévus pour le levage de personnes, mais qui sont conçus pour élever tout le véhicule afin de permettre les travaux de vérification, d'entretien et de réparation sur ou sous le véhicule lorsqu'il est en position levée.
L'élévateur de véhicule peut consister en une ou plusieurs unités de levage.
L'alimentation en énergie de l'élévateur de véhicule par des moteurs à combustion interne n'a pas été envisagée.
Le plancher ou le sol supportant l'élévateur de véhicule lors du fonctionnement est supposé être horizontal.

5.6.2.3 Exceptional loads a) Out-of-service wind If the vehicle lift is designed for outside use the influence of wind forces in the wheel base direction shall be included in the stress calculation (see also 5.6.3). The maximum pressure of out-of-service wind is 500 N/m2, which is related to a wind speed of 28 m/s. The wind forces acting on the normative vehicle (refer to table 4) shall be derived from table 2. It is assumed that in any case the operator lowers the raised vehicle in the nearest position to the ground level at the end of his working time. A corresponding requirement shall be written in the operation instructions if the vehicle lift is designed for outside use. For the overturning stability calculation a stabilizing weight effect of 1 kN for each m2 of exposed vehicle surface to the wind can be considered as stabilizing moment (refer to table 2). b) Action 1) Of the catching device or 2) Of the re-raising prevention device. c) Test load for

5.6.4 Load distribution The following requirements shall be fulfilled if no special data are specified by the customer. The rated load shall be distributed on the four corners of a rectangle with the width equating to wheel track and the length to wheel base. 5.6.4.1 Wheel support vehicle lift for road vehicles The rated load shall be distributed according to normative vehicle dimensions as shown in table 4. When carrying out structural design in accordance with the data given in table 4 consideration shall be given in each case to normative vehicles both less than and equal to the rated load to ensure that the most adverse loading situations are considered. For structural design purposes vehicle positioning on load carrying devices shall be considered in both directions. The vehicle track symmetry axis and the wheel supports symmetry axis are coincidental. For all normative vehicles with more than 2 axles, the 2- or 3-axle combinations shall be considered as a single "virtual" axle. The minimum distance X between the nearest vehicle axle and the wheel support end depends on the type of normative vehicle (dimension, single-, double-, triple-axle) (refer to table 4).
