GSO EN 81-43:2026 Scope

1.1 This document specifies the safety requirements for the construction and installation of power operated lifts attached to cranes and intended for access to workplaces on cranes. The lift serves defined landing levels and has a car which is: a) designed for the transportation of persons and goods; b) guided; c) travelling vertically or along a path within 15 degrees maximum from the vertical; d) supported by rack and pinion or suspended by steel wire ropes; e) travelling with a speed not more than 1,0 m/s for permanent installed lifts and not more than 0,4 m/s for temporarily installed lifts. 1.2 This document identifies hazards as listed in Annex A that arise during the various phases in the life of such equipment and describes methods for the elimination or reduction of these hazards when used as intended by the manufacturer. This document deals with significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to lifts for cranes, when it is used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. This document specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards (see Annex A). 1.3 This document does not specify requirements for: a) noise; b) lighting; c) potentially explosive atmospheres; NOTE Directive 2014/34/EU concerning equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres can be applicable to the type of machine or equipment covered by this document. The present standard is not intended to provide means of complying with the essential health and safety requirements of Directive 2014/34/EU. d) electromagnetic compatibility (emission, immunity); e) handling of loads the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metal, acids/bases, radiating materials, fragile loads); f) the use of combustion engines; g) hydraulic drive units. 1.4 This document is not applicable to: a) builders hoists according to EN 12158 1:2021, EN 12158 2:2000+A1:2010 and EN 12159:2012 and transport platforms according to EN 16719:2018; b) elevating control stations according to EN 14502 2:2005+A1:2008; c) lifts according to EN 81 20:2020. 1.5 This document deals with the complete lift design but excludes the design of the crane. It includes the base frame and base enclosure of the lift but excludes the design of any concrete, hard core, timber or other foundation arrangement. It includes the design of mast ties and the design of anchorage parts between the mast tie and the crane structure. This document also includes the design of the landing gates and their fixings. 1.6 This document does not apply to lifts for cranes manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.
