This document specifies 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. NOTE 1 A demountable body is a detachable frame designed to be carried by a vehicle or trailer. NOTE 2 A separate loader is a vehicle, with no load carrying capacity, equipped with a loader crane and designed to load or unload other vehicles and trailers. 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 3 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.

This document specifies the safety requirements of self-propelled rough-terrain variable-reach trucks (hereafter referred to as trucks), intended to handle loads, equipped with a telescopic lifting means (pivoted boom), on which a load handling device (e.g. carriage and fork arms) is fitted. For the purpose of this document, rough-terrain variable-reach trucks are designed to transport, lift and place loads and can be driven on unimproved terrain. Fork arms are considered to be part of the truck. Trucks can also be equipped with a variety of attachments (e.g. bale spikes, mowers, sweepers). This document deals with all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to the trucks when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Annex A). This document does not apply to: — slewing rough-terrain variable-reach trucks covered by EN 1459 2:2015+A1:2018; — rough-terrain variable-reach tractors covered by prEN 17968:2025; — industrial variable reach trucks covered by EN ISO 3691 2:2023; — lorry-mounted variable-reach trucks covered by ISO 20297 1:2017; — variable-reach trucks fitted with tilting or elevating operator position; — mobile cranes covered by EN 13000:2010+A1:2014; — machines designed primarily for earth moving, even if their buckets and blades are replaced with forks (see EN 474 series); — trucks designed primarily with variable length load suspension elements (e.g. chain, ropes) from which the load may swing freely in all directions; — trucks designed primarily for container handling; — trucks on tracks; — trucks with articulated chassis; — attachments. This document does not cover sales literature. This document does not address hazards linked to: — operation of the truck from a position other than the normal operating position; — operation of the truck by a remote control; — gas power systems; — gasoline engine systems; — autonomous functions; — self-evolving behaviour; — hybrid or battery power systems having a voltage greater than 32 V DC or 21 V AC r.m.s. NOTE EN 1459-7:2026 deals with hybrid and battery power systems having a voltage greater than 32 V DC or 21 V AC r.m.s. This document does not address hazards which may occur: a) when handling suspended loads which may swing freely (additional requirements are given in EN 1459 4:2020+A1:2025); b) when using trucks on public roads; c) when operating in potentially explosive atmospheres (additional requirements are given in EN 1755:2024); d) when operating underground; e) when fitted with a personnel work platform (additional requirements are given in EN 1459 3:2015 and EN 1459 9:2021); f) when using system capable of controlling the speed of the truck as set by the operator (cruise-control). This document is not applicable to trucks manufactured before the date of its publication.

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.
