This document is applicable to stationary and mobile 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. This document does not exclude a person from entering a lifted vehicle on wheel supporting lifts, e.g. for special works or for periodical technical inspection, and vehicle lifts for rail-bound vehicles. This document does not contain requirements for hazards which may arise on vehicle lifts where the carrying device can be tilted. NOTE Noise does not play a role in vehicle lifts in the majority of cases and is therefore not considered in this document. This document does not apply to: – vehicle lifts movable when loaded; – equipment for power driven parking of motor vehicles (see EN 14010:2003+A1:2009). This document is applicable to vehicle lifts which are manufactured six months after the date of its publication as a European Standard.
