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 document applies to: — light crane systems, either suspended or free-standing systems, where the rated capacity of any single hoist mechanism 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 1 For illustration of crane types, see Annex C. This document is not applicable to cranes covered by another product specific crane standard, e.g. EN 15011:2020 or EN 14985:2012, see Annex E. 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, foreseeable misuse and under foreseen conditions (see Annex A). NOTE 2 Automated operation can be subject to additional requirements. Guidance is given in Annex F. The specific hazards due to potentially explosive atmospheres, ionizing radiation, operation in electro-magnetic fields beyond the range of EN IEC 61000-6-2:2019 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 not applicable to cranes manufactured before the date of its publication.
