General Information
Overview
SIST-TS CEN/TS 17471:2024 is a technical specification published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) that sets out technical requirements for the interface between loader cranes and work platforms. It specifically addresses the integration of basic machinery compliant with EN 12999 (loader cranes) equipped to use assigned types of work platforms classified under EN 280-1. This document is essential for machinery installed on road vehicles with load-carrying capabilities and enables dual operation modes:
- CRANE mode, where the machinery operates as a loader crane following EN 12999 standards.
- MEWP mode, where the machinery operates as a Mobile Elevating Work Platform as per EN 280-1 standards.
The focus of SIST-TS CEN/TS 17471:2024 includes the hazard assessment and safety protocols related to switching between these two operating modes, as well as the specific risks concerning the physical combination and assembly of work platforms as interchangeable equipment on the loader cranes.
Key Topics
Mode of Operation
- A secure mode selector is mandatory to switch between “CRANE” and “MEWP” modes.
- Each mode requires compliance with its respective standards (EN 12999 for CRANE and EN 280-1 for MEWP).
- Safety features must prevent unintended operation of the boom, stabilizers, and levelling systems depending on mode and connection status.
Engagement and Locking Systems
- The work platform must be securely attached, locked, and interlocked with robust mechanical and electrical controls.
- Safety control systems must comply with EN ISO 13849-1:2023 and guarantee fail-safe mechanisms to prevent unsafe states if faults occur.
- The design must avoid uncontrolled movements and prevent accidental unlocking or dismounting.
Hydraulic and Electrical Connections
- Hydraulic hoses and electrical cables connecting the platform to the loader crane must be designed to avoid incorrect or hazardous connections.
- Safe storage solutions are required for cables and hoses when the platform is not in use.
Transport Configuration
- Visual and audible warning devices must signal any non-compliance in the transport setup to ensure operator awareness.
- Systems must allow warnings to be acknowledged or silenced safely, such as when the vehicle parking brake is applied.
Instructions and Maintenance
- Detailed instructions for use must specify correct handling, connection, and disconnection procedures for the work platform.
- Maintenance guidance must include inspection intervals, especially for critical areas prone to fatigue, with emphasis on safe upkeep of the combined machinery and platform system.
Hazard Identification
- The specification provides a comprehensive list of hazards associated with mode switching and equipment combination, including ergonomic risks, potential human errors, unexpected equipment startup, assembly errors, and missing safety devices.
Practical Applications
- Loader Crane Manufacturers: Design safer and compliant machinery that supports interchangeable work platforms while mitigating safety risks.
- Work Platform Producers: Ensure platforms are compatible with loader cranes per outlined safety requirements and interface specifications.
- Vehicle Equipment Installers: Implement compliant integration of cranes and work platforms on road vehicles, maximizing operational versatility and safety.
- Safety Regulators and Inspectors: Evaluate equipment according to harmonized European standards to enforce workplace safety and machinery compliance.
- Operators and Maintenance Personnel: Follow clear instructions to safely switch modes, connect/disconnect platforms, and conduct maintenance, reducing accidents and equipment damage.
Related Standards
- EN 12999:2020 – Cranes: Loader cranes – general design and safety requirements for loader crane machinery.
- EN 280-1:2022 – Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs): Design calculations, stability criteria, safety, and testing protocols for work platforms.
- EN ISO 12100:2010 – Safety of machinery – General design principles for risk assessment and reduction.
- EN ISO 13849-1:2023 – Safety-related parts of control systems – Design principles ensuring reliability of safety functions.
- EN ISO 4413:2010 – Hydraulic fluid power systems – Safety requirements for hydraulic components, crucial for loader cranes and platforms.
By adhering to SIST-TS CEN/TS 17471:2024, industry stakeholders can guarantee a safe and reliable interface between loader cranes and work platforms, facilitating safer multi-mode operations on road vehicles and helping prevent accidents caused by improper combined machinery use. This standard is a critical resource supporting the harmonization of safety practices across Europe’s loader crane and mobile elevating work platform sectors.
