Specific requirements for particular types of cranes are given in the appropriate European standard for the particular crane type. This document covers specific shafts and rotating or non-rotating axles as an integrated part of cranes, that are not dealt with by other EN 13001 standards (e.g. pinned connections in EN 13001-3-1). It is not applicable to shafts or axles being part of standard equipment (e.g. gearboxes, motors). The significant hazardous situations and hazardous events that could result in risks to persons during intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse are identified by Annex D. Clauses 4 to 7 of this document are necessary to reduce or eliminate these risks. Clauses 4 to 7 of this document are necessary to reduce or eliminate these risks associated with the following hazards: - exceeding the limits of strength (yield, ultimate, fatigue); - exceeding temperature limits of material or components. This standard does not deal with the proofs of strength of welded and cast shafts. This document is not applicable to cranes that are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN and serves as reference base for the European standards for particular crane types (see Annex C). NOTE – prEN 13001-3-8:2021 deals only with limit state method in accordance with EN 13001-1:2015.
