1.1 This document specifies the safety requirements for lifting tables which fulfil the following characteristics: — serving no more than 2 fixed landings but able to pass a fixed landing and, — having a vertical travel speed of no more than 0,15 m/s, unless the lifting table is safe by position and, — raising or lowering goods (with or without operator(s) and/or authorized person(s)) with a fixed, movable or mobile lifting table or, — raising or lowering operator(s) and/or authorized person(s) with or without goods, to positions where they can carry out work from a fixed lifting table that is guided throughout its vertical travel only. 1.2 This document specifies the appropriate technical measures for eliminating and reducing the risks arising from the significant hazards listed in Annex B. 1.3 This document does not apply to the following equipment: — lifting tables with a vertical travel speed exceeding 0,15 m/s, unless the lifting table is safe by position; — lifting tables, serving more than 2 fixed landings of a construction, for lifting goods, with a vertical travel speed not exceeding 0,15 m/s (EN 1570 2:2016); — lifting tables, serving more than 2 fixed landings of a construction, for lifting operators, with a vertical travel speed not exceeding 0,15 m/s; — lifting tables carrying operators and installed in full enclosures with a vertical travel speed not exceeding 0,15 m/s; — lifting tables used on ships; — lifting tables designed for artists and stage set features during artistic performances (EN 17206:2020); — power operated lifting platforms for persons with impaired mobility (EN 81 41:2010); — mobile lifting tables for airport ground support equipment (EN 1915 2:2001+A1:2009 and EN 12312 1:2013); — mobile elevating work platforms (EN 280 1:2022); — vehicle servicing lifts (EN 1493:2022); — mobile lifting tables used for firefighting (EN 1777:2010); — mobile lifting tables with a horizontal travelling speed of more than 1,6 m/s; — rail dependent storage and retrieval equipment (EN 528:2021); — scissor lift pallet trucks (EN ISO 3691 5:2015); — lifting tables suspended from a ceiling. 1.4 This document does not consider the requirements for: — operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, freezer applications, strong magnetic fields); — operation subject to special rules (e.g. potentially explosive atmospheres, mines); — handling of loads, the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metal, acids, radiating materials, particularly brittle loads, loose loads (gravel, tubes)); — hazards occurring during construction, transportation, and disposal; — equipment installed on the load platform or the replacing or maintaining of it; — integration into broader systems or other machines, etc.; — cable-less controls, i.e. wireless; — lifting tables where the hydraulic pressure is derived directly from gas pressure; — lifting tables powered by internal combustion engines. This document is not applicable to lifting tables manufactured before the date of its publication.

This document is applicable to the design, information for use, maintenance and testing of power driven hoists, compact or open construction, with or without trolleys for which the prime mover is an electric, hydraulic or pneumatic motor. They are designed for the lifting and lowering of loads that are suspended on hooks or other load lifting attachments. Hoists can be used either in cranes, in other machines, e.g. rail dependent storage and retrieval equipment, monorail conveyors or by itself. This document is applicable to the following types of hoists and applications: — rope hoists; — chain hoists; — belt hoists; — NGL building hoists; — winches used for lifting operation; — hoists designed for holding stationary loads above persons; — hoists designed for high risk applications. This document does not apply to belt hoists with steel belts as hoisting media. This document does not apply to builders’ hoists for transportation of goods having a guided platform or having a guided load carrying device. This document is not applicable to the following hazards: — this document does not cover hazards related to the lifting of persons. This document does not specify additional requirements for hazards related to the use of hoists in explosive atmospheres in underground mines. This document does not address the hazards related to autonomous operation and use of self-evolving behaviour of the power driven hoists. The significant hazards covered by this document are identified in Annex H. This document is not applicable to power driven hoists manufactured before the date of its publication.

1.1 Scope of EN 1993-6 (1) EN 1993-6 provides rules for structural design of crane supporting structures. (2) EN 1993-6 is applicable to crane supporting structures, especially to indoor and outdoor overhead crane runway beams, of: a) overhead travelling cranes, either: — top-mounted cranes; — underslung cranes; b) monorail hoist blocks. NOTE The principles of the design rules can be applied to supporting structures of other types of cranes making due allowance for differences in the crane-induced actions, if exist. For example, the design rules for supporting structures of the cranes listed in (2) assume that the horizontal crane loads occur randomly scattered along the runways in general. This assumption does not apply to other cranes such as travelling wall jib cranes. (3) EN 1993-6 does not apply to the tracks and suspensions of light crane systems conforming to EN 16851, see Figure 1.1. NOTE The standardized tracks and suspensions of light crane systems are considered as parts of the crane. [Figure 1.1 — Light crane system] (4) Additional rules are given for ancillary runway items including crane rails, structural end stops, surge connectors and surge girders and for runway supporting structures. (5) EN 1993-6 does not apply to cranes and all other moving parts. NOTE Provisions for cranes are given in EN 13001 (all parts) in general and for bridge and gantry cranes in EN 15011 in particular. 1.2 Assumptions (1) Unless specifically stated, EN 1990-1, EN 1991 (all parts) and EN 1993-1 (all parts) apply. (2) The design methods given in EN 1993-6 are applicable if — the execution quality and tolerances are as specified in EN 1090-2, and; — the construction materials and products used are as specified in the relevant parts of EN 1993, or in the relevant material and product specifications. (3) Following interfaces between hoisting device and its supporting structure are assumed: a) the top of crane rail for top-mounted cranes; b) the top of flange on which the crane or hoist block operates for underslung cranes and monorail hoist blocks; c) the support points as shown in Figure 1.1 for light crane systems.
