This European Standard specifies minimum requirements for design, calculation, examinations and tests of hydraulic powered loader cranes and their mountings onto vehicles or static foundations. Note: There are in the process of development a number of standards on design and other matters that will require incorporation into this standard when they are completed. This standard does not apply to loader cranes used on board ships and does not specify requirements for the lifting of persons with loader cranes. The hazards covered by this EN are identified in clause 4.
