Cranes - Loader cranes

This document supersedes EN 12999:2020.

The major changes are the following:

- addressing the risk to be crushed by stabilizer legs with powered tilting devices (5.8.1, 5.6.1.3, C.2.5);
- clarification of cabin type (crane or vehicle) throughout the document;
- clarifying that timber handling cranes may only be operated from a high seat or a cabin (5.8.1);
- changing into a recommendation the requirement to make an additional stability test after having completed a stability test with the test pressure method (6.2.5.3);
- adding requirement of sufficient field of view when operating the crane from the vehicle cabin (5.8.1).

This document includes Amendment 1 approved by CEN on 20 January 2025.
_________

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).

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.
