Vehicle lifts

This standard applies to stationary, mobile and movable vehicle lifts, which are not intended to lift persons but which are designed to raise vehicles totally, for the purpose of examining and working on or under the vehicles whilst in a raised position. The vehicle lift may consist of one or more lifting units.
Power supply to the vehicle lift by internal combustion engines is not considered. The floor or ground supporting the vehicle lift in use is assumed to be horizontal.

Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen

Diese Norm gilt für stationäre, fahrbare und ortsveränderliche Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen, die bestimmungs-gemäß nicht für das Heben von Personen, sondern zum vollständigen Anheben von Fahrzeugen vorgesehen sind, um die angehobenen Fahrzeuge zu untersuchen und an oder unter ihnen zu arbeiten. Fahrzeug-Hebebühnen können aus einer oder mehreren Hubeinheiten bestehen.
Ein Antrieb der Fahrzeug-Hebebühne durch Verbrennungsmotoren wird nicht betrachtet. Es wird vorausgesetzt, dass der Boden, auf dem die Fahrzeug-Hebebühne benutzt wird, horizontal ist.

Elévateurs de véhicules

La présente norme s'applique aux élévateurs de véhicules fixes, mobiles et transférables, qui ne sont pas prévus pour le levage de personnes, mais qui sont conçus pour élever tout le véhicule afin de permettre les travaux de vérification, d'entretien et de réparation sur ou sous le véhicule lorsqu'il est en position levée.
L'élévateur de véhicule peut consister en une ou plusieurs unités de levage.
L'alimentation en énergie de l'élévateur de véhicule par des moteurs à combustion interne n'a pas été envisagée.
Le plancher ou le sol supportant l'élévateur de véhicule lors du fonctionnement est supposé être horizontal.

EN 1493:1998+A1:2008 (E) 5 Introduction The object of this European Standard is to define rules for safeguarding persons against the risk of accidents associated with the operation of vehicle lifts. While elaborating this standard it was assumed that only trained persons operate the vehicle lifts and that the working area is sufficiently lit. Furthermore it was assumed that no persons are permitted to stand under the vehicle during lifting and lowering. The requirement concerning loading control is not deemed pertinent to this standard insofar as:  Experience and the state of the art suggests that failing to observe this requirement has not historically given rise to unsafe situations;  Such devices which would give protection against overall and local overloading are not currently available in forms which cover all eventualities;  The weight and weight distribution is freely available for the type of vehicles to be lifted and as such it is the responsibility of the user to prevent an unsafe situation arising;  Vehicle lifts are generally designed to suit the maximum weight of vehicle to which it would reasonably be subjected, hence the normal duty of a lift is substantially lower than the maximum. The extent to which hazards are covered is indicated in the scope of this standard. !In addition, machinery should comply as appropriate with EN ISO 12100-1 and EN ISO 12100-2 for hazards which are not covered by this European Standard." 1 Scope This standard applies to stationary, mobile and movable vehicle lifts, which are not intended to lift persons but which are designed to raise vehicles totally, for the purpose of examining and working on or under the vehicles whilst in a raised position. The vehicle lift may consist of one or more lifting units. Power supply to the vehicle lift by internal combustion engines is not considered. The floor or ground supporting the vehicle lift in use is assumed to be horizontal. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any these publications apply to this European standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references, the latest edition of the publication applies. !deleted text" EN 414:1992, Safety of machinery — Rules for drafting and presentation of safety standards !deleted text" SIST EN 1493:1999+A1:2009

The guidance of the load carrying device is given by the supporting structure. A vehicle lift may have the ability to tilt the load carrying device about a horizontal axis parallel to or perpendicular to the main axis of the lifted vehicle. The following types of vehicle lift are examples of those covered by this definition: single and multi-column lifts, single and multi-cylinder lifts, mobile column lifts, scissor and parallelogram lifts, short stroke lifts, which support vehicle wheels, chassis or other designated lifting points (see Annex B (informative)). NOTE Short stroke lifts are floor mounted vehicle lifts with a maximum vertical travel of not more than 500 mm, which are not designed for working under the raised load. 3.2 manually driven vehicle lift vehicle lift where the load carrying device is driven by manual effort 3.3 power driven vehicle lift vehicle lift where the load carrying device is not driven by manual effort SIST EN 1493:1999+A1:2009
