What is the EN 13000?

EN 13000 is the basic standard to fulfill the European
Machinery Directive.
If the EN 13000 is active, other shut off limits and

other conditions for possible bypasses apply.
The standard must be checked every 5 years
This standard is valid for all new cranes, which are

delivered from 01.05.2010 into the EU.
On these machines, the EN 13000 must be activated.
Points from EN 13000

(1) scope
EN13000 does not cover hazards related to the lifting of
persons.
Mobile cranes covered by this European standard are
designed for a limited number of stress cycles and
particular properties of motions.
4.1.2 Load effect
Load effect consider the configurations without changing
outriggers, counterweight, counterweight position.

EN 13000 - 4.2.6.2.2
Movements of attachment parts shall be equipped

with two consecutive motion limiters.
e.g. luffing jibs have two independent angle
sensor
In case of a failure of components, a bridging device

may be necessary and is located outside of the
crane operators cab is under lock and key
EN 13000 4.2.6.3.3
Shut off sensor defective

If one of the following sensors is
defective, all crane movements (except
slewing gear) are turned off.
Shut off: Sensor defective

On LICCON 2 Mobile cranes, the following
additional sensors also turn all crane
movements off in case of a defect (except
slewing gear).

ZM / Force test axle*
The following icon is shown blinking in the

Application:

Functions:
No limitation in capacity by the rated capacity limiter
Max. speed reduced to 15%
Acoustic and optical warning inside and outside the operators cab
if the rated capacity limiter is bridged, cannot be switched off

The rigid body stability of the crane shall be in

75% load chart

is required on outrigger and crawler
All mobile cranes having a rate capacity of not less

1000 kg.
What software variations are available?

Presently 3 software versions are sent out, which have
been valid since 01.05.2010:
EN13000 - activated, with 75% charts - with CE-conformity; for
members of the European Committee for Standardization.
EN13000 - deactivated, with 85% charts; for deliveries outside the

EU.

EN13000 chapter 4.2.6.3.3: Data recorder

Recording capacity approx. 185 hrs. (circular
buffer) approx. 2 months at 1000 operating
hours per year.
A system error appears and the buzzer in the

LICCON monitor sounds when data logger is
failure. After confirmation of the system error, it
is issued repeatedly to warn the crane driver
again.
data is recorded automatically, independant of
the crane operator
Manipulation of the data in the recorder is not
possible
Checked each time when the crane is put into

operation

Recorded data for:
time, date
Selected configuration (boom configuration, ballast,
outrigger extension, reeving, hook block)
Actual load
Radius
Main boom angle, luffing jib angle
Total length of tele boom, length of each tele section
All bridging devices
Percentage of loading

Each actuation of the set-up button or the bridging
device, which leads to an overloading of the
crane(>100% of the set load chart), is recorded.
The size of the overloading is recorded
It is very useful to reconstruct the last load case
Analyse or convert the latest

data set and statistic via a
software driver and a software
filter, delivered by the
manufacturer, to an Excel
readable format
Read out of the data logger via

a manufacturer specific
interface
Root cause 2:
Influence of wind on crane operation
Original permissible
wind speed:
crane design with 9 m/s
Influence of wind on crane operation

Calculate according to
Wind resistance factor
surface area exposed to

wind
Direction of the wind

Wind from the front
The load indication will be
too low.
The LMB system shut off

actuates only with a load
that is greater than the
maximum permissible
load capacity.
Direction of the wind

Wind from the side
The LMB system do not take side

wind into account.
Root cause 3: handling of supporting base

Ch. 9, Sitting of mobile crane
The mat or timber blocking
should be at least 3 times
larger in area than the float
(unless a smaller area is
specified by the
manufacturer) and
completely support the float.
9.2.7
Support base
Example: 100 tons mobile crane lift 10 tons load

The maximum force at outrigger base is 31 tons = 31 x 9.8 =
303.8 KN = 303800 N
Required support surface = support force / permissible
ground pressure
=303800/20 = 15190 cm2 = 123.2cm x 123.2 cm
A plate of minimum 124 x 124 cm needs to put under the
outrigger base.
It means the surface need to extend 6 times by area in
order to achieve the requirement.
Dimensions of support float is 50cm x 50cm = 2500 cm2
For years, the

YOUR LISTENING
The tutorial is used solely for training purposes and is subject to constant changes. The
tutorial does not contain all required assembly, operation and safety guidelines to be
able to assemble and operate the crane. It is imperative to study the operating
instructions before operating the crane to obtain a comprehensive understanding about
the operation, safety regulations and warning notes.
The tutorial never replaces the safety regulations, which are provided, for example, in
the operating instructions, the technical documentation or the legal regulations.
Liebherr excludes liability for itself and all companies associated with LiebherrInternational AG (Bulle/Switzerland), which can result from the utilization of the tutorial,
insofar as the damages are not based on deliberate or grossly negligent action by
Liebherr or insofar as it is not about damage to life, body or health or insofar as the
claims are not based on the product liability law. The same applied for vicarious agents
of Liebherr.
The tutorial is protected by copyright. It is not permitted to copy and disseminate the
contents. It is prohibited to sell or modify the tutorial.
