Standard ima zdaj dve dopolnili. Pri delu z drugim dopolnilom je postalo jasno, da je treba izboljšati številna področja, ki so zunaj njegovega področja uporabe. Nekatere določbe so nejasne in nekaterih niti ni mogoče izpolniti. Razvile so se sodobne tehnologije, kar bi moral standard odražati. Celoten standard je treba pregledati, tako da se izločijo pomanjkljivosti in se standard posodobi glede na razvoj drugih standardov in sodobno tehnologijo. Nekatera še zlasti zanimiva področja so:
- 5.4 mehanske postavitve;
- 5.5 hidravlični sistem;
- 5.6 omejevalne in kazalne naprave;
- 6.2 preskušanje in preskusni postopki.

29.1 Insufficient visibility from the driving position 5.8.1 5 Safety requirements and/or safety measures 5.1 General Machinery shall conform to the safety requirements and/or measures of this clause. In addition, the machine shall be designed in accordance with the principles of EN ISO 12100 for hazards relevant but not significant which are not dealt with by this European Standard. The rated capacity shall be calculated from the following: a) the working pressure in the cylinders; b) the area of the load carrying cylinders; c) the geometry; d) dead loads; SIST EN 12999:2011

φ 2,min + β2 × vh φ 2,min and β2 are given in Table 2a for the appropriate hoisting class. Loader cranes are assigned to hoisting classes HC1 and HC2 in accordance with their dynamic and elastic characteristics: HC1 for crane mounted on a vehicle or structures of equivalent flexibility; HC2 for rigidly mounted cranes.

where HD1 is the hoist drive can only be operated at a fixed speed; HD4 is the start of the lift is performed with continuously increasing speed; HD5 is the hoist drive control is automatic and ensures that the speed influence on the dynamic force is negligible; vh,max is the maximum vertical hook speed. In load combinations A1 and B1, vh,max is the maximum vertical hook speed that is given by any single hydraulic drive action. In load combination C1, vh,max is the maximum vertical hook speed from all articulation hydraulic drives acting simultaneously. NOTE
In load combinations A and B it is assumed that the dynamic peaks from simultaneous movements do not coincide. The unlikely event that the dynamic peaks coincide and are superimposed is covered by load combination C1. 5.2.2.3 Effect of sudden release of a part of the gross load For cranes that release or drop a part of the gross load as a working procedure during intended use, such as when grabs or magnets are used, the peak dynamic effect on the crane can be simulated by multiplying the gross load by the factor Φ3. The value is given by:
Φ3 = 1 - ∆m × (1 + β) /m
where m
is the mass of the gross load; SIST EN 12999:2011

is the released or dropped part of the gross load; β
= 0,5
for cranes equipped with grabs or similar slow-release devices; β
= 1,0 for cranes equipped with magnets or similar rapid-release devices. 5.2.2.4 Effects caused by acceleration/deceleration of the slewing drive The dynamic factor Φ5h shall have the value 1,05 for hook duty and 1,3 for bucket or grapple duty. 5.2.3 Loads and forces 5.2.3.1 General The following loads and forces shall be taken into account: a) regular loads: 1) dead loads; 2) gross load; 3) dynamic forces; 4) centrifugal forces; b) occasional loads: 1) in-service wind loads; 2) other climatic and environmental effects such as temperature, snow and ice; 3) loads on stairways, platforms and hand rails; c) exceptional loads: 1) test loads; 2) loads caused by movements suddenly stopped by a mechanical device, e.g. end stroke of slewing cylinder or a safety device, e.g. emergency stop, hydraulic line rupture valve; 3) sudden release of the load, e.g. rope failure,
