CEN/TC 147/WG 14 - Bridge and gantry cranes

This document applies to:
-   light crane systems, either suspended or free-standing systems, where the rated capacity of any single lifting device is 4 t or less;
-   pillar and wall-mounted jib cranes, without an operator's cabin, whose rated capacity is 10 t or less and whose overturning load moment is 500 kNm or less.
NOTE   For illustration of crane types, see Annex B.
This document is not applicable to cranes covered by another product specific crane standard, e.g. EN 15011:2011+A1:2014 or EN 14985:2012.
This document is applicable to cranes and crane systems, whose structures are made of steel or aluminium, excluding aluminium structures containing welded joints.
This document gives requirements for all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to cranes, when used as intended and under conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
The specific hazards due to potentially explosive atmospheres, ionizing radiation, operation in electro-magnetic fields beyond the range of EN 61000 6 2:2016 and operation in pharmacy or food industry are not covered by this document.
This document does not cover hazards related to the lifting of persons.
This document is applicable to cranes, which are manufactured after the date of its publication by CEN as a European Standard.
This document is not applicable to cranes manufactured before the date of its publication.

This document applies to bridge and gantry cranes able to travel by wheels on rails, runways or roadway surfaces, and to gantry cranes without wheels mounted in a stationary position.
NOTE Light crane systems (assembly of lifting devices, crane bridges, trolleys and tracks; wall-mounted, pillar and workshop jib cranes) are covered by EN 16851.
This document specifies requirements for all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to bridge and gantry cranes when used as intended and under conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
This document does not include requirements for the lifting of persons.
The specific hazards due to potentially explosive atmospheres, ionising radiation and operation in electromagnetic environment beyond the scope of EN 61000-6-2 are not covered by this document.
This document is applicable to bridge and gantry cranes manufactured after the date of its publication as a European standard.

This European Standard specifies safety requirements for spreaders used with cranes designed for the purpose of handling ISO containers based on ISO 668 including other lengths such as 45 ft. The connection between the spreader and the container is by the use of twistlocks that engage into the container’s upper corner castings.
The standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to container handling spreaders, when used as intended and under conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
The spreader is interfaced to the crane’s control and safety system.
This European Standard does not cover the following types of spreaders:
-   hand operated spreaders (without external power supply);
-   bottom lift grapple spreaders used for swapbodies and road trailers.
This European Standard does not deal with the lifting of persons.
This European Standard is applicable to spreaders which are manufactured after the date of approval by CEN of this standard.

This document applies to:
-   light crane systems, either suspended or free-standing systems, where the rated capacity of any single lifting device is 4 t or less;
-   pillar and wall-mounted jib cranes, without an operator's cabin, and whose rated capacity is 10 t or less and the maximum slew radius of the load is 5 m or less.
NOTE   For illustration of crane types, see Annex B.
Cranes not falling into the scope of this document should be covered either by another product specific crane standard, e.g. EN 15011 (regarding light crane and free-standing systems) or EN 14985 (regarding jib cranes) or by a combination of horizontal, subject specific crane standards, see Annex D.
This document is applicable to cranes and crane systems, whose structures are made of steel or aluminium, excluding aluminium structures containing welded joints.
This document gives requirements for all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to cranes, when used as intended and under conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
The specific hazards due to potentially explosive atmospheres, ionizing radiation, operation in electro-magnetic fields beyond the range of EN 61000-6-2 and operation in pharmacy or food industry are not covered by this document.
This document does not include requirements for the lifting of persons.
This document is applicable to cranes, which are manufactured after the date of approval by CEN of this European Standard.

Clause 5.3.4: the layout of the clause to be harmonized with EN 14492-2 for clarification
Clause 5.2.1.4.3: the adhesion factor to be harmonized with ISO 8686-1 and forthcoming prEN 13001-2
Clause 5.4.8.5: text to be clarified
Clause 5.6.2.1: the requirements on access for maintenance to be specified
Clause 5.7.4: The colour of the warning light to be harmonized with EN 60204-32
