Cranes - Manually controlled load manipulators; German and English version prEN 14238:2024
Abstract
This document specifies requirements for manually controlled load manipulating cranes (herein referred to as manipulators), powered by an energy other than human energy, to assist an operator in the handling of loads. This document does not cover: - mechanically operated balancers that are based on springs, counterweights or automatons; - manipulating robots; - operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme environmental conditions such as : freezer applications, high temperatures, corrosive environment, strong magnetic fields); - operation subject to special rules; - handling of loads the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metal, acids/alkalies, radiating materials, specially brittle loads); NOTE: High risk applications are dealt by EN 13135:2018 and EN 13001-2:2021. - hazards occurring during construction, transportation, decommissioning and disposal. This document does not cover hazards related to the lifting of persons. The significant hazards covered by this document are identified in Annex A. For hazards that are not significant, EN ISO 12100 applies. This document is applicable to manipulators which are manufactured after the date of approval by CEN of this document.
