Overview

EN 15011:2011/FprA1 (CEN) is a draft amendment to the European standard EN 15011:2011 covering safety, design and verification requirements for bridge and gantry cranes. The amendment clarifies and harmonizes clause layout, definitions and normative references, aligns specific technical factors with related standards, and specifies safety and control-system requirements for wheeled and stationary gantry/bridge cranes.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and definitions
    • Applies to bridge and gantry cranes that travel on rails, runways or roadway surfaces, and to stationary gantry cranes without wheels.
  • Harmonization and normative references
    • Aligns clause layout with EN 14492‑2 and references/updates to EN 13001‑2, EN 13135, EN ISO 12100, EN 60204‑32, and others.
  • Adhesion / friction factor
    • Specifies friction (adhesion) factors for wheel/rail interaction: μ = 0.3 for cleaned rails and μ = 0.2 for non‑cleaned rails in usual environments.
  • Control systems and safety-related parts
    • All safety‑related control parts must meet at least Performance Level (PL) c (EN ISO 13849‑1).
    • Electromechanical/hydraulic/pneumatic control circuits: PL c and category 1; electronic/programmable circuits: PL c and category 2.
    • Stop function for cableless controls (communication loss or transmitter stop button) must meet PL c, category 3 (per EN 13557 Annex C).
  • Braking and hoist requirements
    • Hoist brakes must provide a restraining torque at least 60% greater than maximum torque from maximum hoist load; back‑up braking as required per EN 13135.
  • Tandem operation and synchronization
    • For multiple cranes/trolleys handling one load, hoisting and horizontal speeds must match within application tolerances; above thresholds (horizontal > 60 m/min or hoisting > 20 m/min) self‑correcting synchronization is required and interruptions on one unit must affect the other.
  • Structural and wheel load guidance
    • Wheel load distribution, local stresses and fatigue to be assessed per EN 13001‑3‑1; equalising only assumed if provided by design (pinned bogies, balancers).
  • Access, maintenance and marking
    • Amendment requests specification of access requirements for maintenance; controls must be clearly marked for separate and tandem use.
  • Warning light colour
    • Colour of warning lights to be harmonized with EN 60204‑32.

Applications and users

This standard is used by:

  • Crane manufacturers and designers for compliant design and verification
  • Safety engineers and risk assessors implementing PL requirements
  • Inspection bodies and notified bodies assessing conformity with EU Directives
  • Plant/facility managers and maintenance teams for safe operation, synchronization, and upkeep of bridge and gantry cranes

Related standards

  • EN 13001‑2 (actions / load combinations)
  • EN 13001‑3‑1 (structural stresses and fatigue)
  • EN 60204‑32 (electrical safety on machinery)
  • EN 13135 (equipment design requirements)
  • EN 14492‑2 (crane machinery)
  • EN ISO 12100 (risk assessment / design principles)
  • ISO 8686‑1 (referenced for adhesion harmonization)

Keywords: EN 15011, bridge cranes, gantry cranes, crane safety standard, CEN, EN 13001, EN 60204‑32, adhesion factor, crane control systems, tandem crane synchronization.

supporting structure shall be taken into account in combination with global stresses.
Distribution of wheel loads of a crane or a trolley shall not be considered equalised unless equalising is
ensured by appropriate arrangements (e.g. pinned bogies, balancers, flexibility of structures).
Stresses in the web under the rail, resulting from vertical wheel loads, shall be calculated in conformance with
EN 13001-3-1. When passing over girder cuts (e.g. from main girder to cantilever), the effective distribution
length is halved, which shall be taken into account in the calculation.
NOTE Annex F presents one permissible method to determine the stresses in the case of cranes with the trolley
travelling on the lower flange of the girder.
The local stress due to the wheel load shall be combined with the global normal and shear stresses for the
determination of the equivalent stress in accordance with the principles given in EN 13001-3-1.
For fatigue assessment in accordance with EN 13001-3-1
• the total number of wheel overruns at the mostly loaded position shall be taken into account;
