Specifies the requirements related to safety, including methods of rating and testing, of roundslings up to 40 t working load limit in straight lift, and of two-, three- and four-leg roundsling assemblies, with or without fittings, made of polyamide, polyester and polypropylene, for general purpose lifting operations.
Pneumatic and electric balancers are manually controlled load manipulators under EN 14238; spring balancers (for which no harmonised EN standard exists) follow DIN 15112.
Cranes — Manually controlled load manipulators
Specifies requirements for manually controlled load manipulating cranes powered by an energy other than human energy — such as our pneumatic and electric balancers — that assist an operator in the handling of loads, including load-holding on power failure, control forces and verification.
Federzüge; Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und Prüfung (Spring balancers — safety requirements and testing)
German national standard for spring balancers (spring pulls) used to suspend tools and equipment: requirements for the suspension secured against unintentional unhooking, provisions for an independent fall arrester, securing of connecting elements and the applicable tests. There is no harmonised EN standard dedicated to spring balancers, so DIN 15112 is applied together with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and EN ISO 12100.
