Cranes - Loader cranes
This document specifies minimum requirements for design, calculation, examinations and tests of hydraulic powered loader cranes and their mountings on vehicles or static foundations.
This document applies to loader cranes designed to be installed on:
- road vehicles, including trailers, with load carrying capability;
- tractors (road or agricultural), where only a towed trailer has capability to carry goods;
- demountable bodies to be carried by any of the above;
- other types of carriers (e.g. separate loaders, crawlers, rail vehicles, non-seagoing vessels);
- static foundations.
This document also applies to loader cranes equipped with special tools or interchangeable equipment (e.g. grapple, clamshell bucket, pallet clamp, etc.), as specified in the operator’s manual.
This document does not apply to loader cranes used on board sea going vessels or to articulated boom system cranes which are designed as total integral parts of special equipment such as forwarders.
The hazards covered by this document are identified in Clause 4.
This document does not cover hazards related to the lifting of persons.
NOTE The use of cranes for lifting of persons can be subject to specific national regulations.
This document is not applicable to loader cranes manufactured before the publication of this document. For loader cranes designed before the publication of this document, the provisions concerning stress calculations in the version of EN 12999 that was valid at the time of their design, are still applicable.
Krane - Ladekrane
Dieses Dokument legt Mindestanforderungen an Gestaltung, Berechnung, Untersuchungen und Prüfungen von hydraulisch angetriebenen Ladekranen und deren Montage auf Fahrzeuge oder ortsfeste Unter¬konstruktionen fest.
Dieses Dokument gilt für Ladekrane, die dafür vorgesehen sind, wie folgt montiert zu werden:
- auf Straßenfahrzeuge, einschließlich Anhängern, mit einer verbleibenden Nutzlast;
- auf Traktoren (Straße oder Landwirtschaft), bei denen nur der Anhänger über die Möglichkeit verfügt, Güter zu befördern;
- als demontierbare Einrichtungen, die von einer der oben genannten Maschinen mitgeführt werden;
- auf sonstigen Trägerarten (z. B. Separat-Lader, Raupenfahrzeuge, Schienenfahrzeuge, nicht hochseetüchtige Schiffe);
- auf ortsfeste Unterkonstruktionen.
Dieses Dokument gilt außerdem für Ladekrane, die mit Spezialwerkzeugen oder austauschbaren Ausrüstungsteilen (z. B. Greifer/Zange, Zweischalengreifer, Palettengabel usw.), wie in der Betriebsanleitung festgelegt, ausgestattet sind.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Ladekrane auf Seeschiffen sowie Krane mit Knickauslegersystem, die vollständig als integraler Bestandteil einer speziellen Ausrüstung, wie z. B. Rückefahrzeug (Forwarder), ausgelegt sind.
Die Gefährdungen, die in diesem Dokument behandelt werden, sind in Abschnitt 4 aufgeführt.
Dieses Dokument behandelt nicht die Gefährdungen, die beim Heben von Personen auftreten.
ANMERKUNG Die Verwendung von Kranen für das Heben von Personen kann besonderen nationalen Vorschriften unterliegen.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Ladekrane, die vor dem Datum der Veröffentlichung dieses Dokuments hergestellt wurden. Für Ladekrane, die vor Veröffentlichung dieses Dokuments konstruiert wurden, gelten nach wie vor die Festlegungen hinsichtlich der Spannungsberechnungen entsprechend der Ausgabe von EN 12999, die zum Zeitpunkt ihrer Konstruktion gültig war.
Appareils de levage à charge suspendue - Grues de chargement
Le présent document spécifie les prescriptions minimales relatives à la conception, au calcul, aux examens et aux essais des grues de chargement hydrauliques et à leur montage sur des véhicules ou massifs pour montage à poste fixe.
Le présent document s'applique aux grues de chargement conçues pour être installées sur :

- des bases statiques.
Le présent document s'applique également aux grues de chargement équipées d'outils spéciaux ou d'équipements interchangeables (par exemple, grappin, benne preneuse, pince à palette, etc.), comme indiqué dans le manuel de l'opérateur.
Le présent document ne s'applique pas aux grues de chargement utilisées à bord des navires de haute mer et aux appareils de levage à charge suspendue à flèche articulée qui sont conçus comme faisant partie intégrante d’un équipement spécial tel que des débardeuses.
Les phénomènes dangereux couverts par le présent document sont identifiés à l’Article 4.
Le présent document ne couvre pas les phénomènes dangereux relatifs au levage de personnes.
NOTE L’utilisation d’appareils de levage pour le levage de personnes peut être soumise à des réglementations nationales spécifiques.
Le présent document ne s'applique pas aux grues de chargement construites avant sa publication. Pour les grues de chargement conçues avant la publication du présent document, les dispositions concernant les calculs de contraintes dans la version de l’EN 12999 qui était valable au moment de leur conception, ne sont pas encore applicables.

Introduction
This document is a harmonized standard to provide one means for loader cranes to conform to the
essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market
players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B
standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other
standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C
standard.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards are covered are indicated in the scope of this
document.
