General Information

Abstract

This European Standard is applicable to the design, information for use, maintenance and testing of power driven winches for which the prime mover is an electric motor, hydraulic motor, internal combustion motor or pneumatic motor. They are designed for the lifting and lowering of loads which are suspended on hooks or other load handling devices or for the lifting and lowering of loads on inclined planes or the exclusive pulling of loads on planes which are normally horizontal.
NOTE   Within the period of utilization, the place of use of a winch may be variable.
As a rule, a winch is used without any additional transport movement.
This European Standard is applicable to the following types of winch:
a)   rope winches;
b)   chain winches;
c)   belt winches, except steel belts used as hoisting media;
d)   traction winches.
These types of winches a) to d) also include the following specific applications:
-   vehicle recovery winches;
-   winches on boat trailers;
-   forestry winches;
-   winches for stationary offshore applications;
-   winches for drilling applications;
-   winches to be used exclusively for the pulling of loads.
NOTE   Examples are shown in Annex A.
This European Standard does not apply to:
-   power-driven hoists in accordance with EN 14492-2;
-   winches for seagoing vessels and mobile offshore units;
-   winches for the lifting of persons;
-   NGL building hoists in accordance with EN 14492-2;
-   winches for the handling of hot molten masses (risk covered by EN 14492-2).
The significant hazards covered by this European Standard are identified in Clause 4.
This European Standard does not specify additional requirements for hazards related to the use of winches in explosive atmospheres in underground works.
This document applies to winches manufactured after approval by CEN with a transitional period of 2 years.

Overview

EN 14492-1:2006+A1:2009 (EN 14492-1) is the European standard for power driven winches used with cranes. It covers design, information for use, maintenance and testing of winches driven by electric, hydraulic, internal combustion or pneumatic motors. The standard applies to rope, chain, belt (excluding steel belts for hoisting) and traction winches and includes specific applications such as vehicle recovery winches, boat‑trailer winches, forestry winches, stationary offshore winches, drilling winches and winches used exclusively for pulling loads. It incorporates Amendment 1 (2009) and was adopted nationally as EN 14492-1:2006+A1:2009.

Key topics and technical requirements

The standard identifies significant hazards (Clause 4) and specifies safety requirements and protective measures, including:

  • Mechanical components: couplings, gearboxes, brakes for lifting/lowering, load hooks.
  • Drive media: rope, chain, belt and traction drive requirements and guidance.
  • Power systems: electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment design and safety.
  • Control and safety devices: stopping, limiting, and protective devices appropriate to winch function.
  • Verification and testing: procedures for series-manufactured and individually designed winches.
  • User information and marking: mandatory documentation, instructions and markings for safe use and maintenance.
  • Noise: measurement and declaration procedures (Annex F: noise test code).
  • Special environments: additional informative requirements for explosive atmospheres (Annex B), aggressive/outdoor environments (Annex C), and low temperatures (Annex D).

The standard expressly excludes power-driven hoists covered by EN 14492-2, winches for seagoing vessels/mobile offshore units, winches for lifting persons, and handling hot molten masses.

Practical applications and who uses this standard

SIST EN 14492-1 is essential for:

  • Winch and crane designers/manufacturers - to ensure compliant design and documentation.
  • Safety engineers and maintenance teams - for safe maintenance regimes and hazard reduction.
  • Testing laboratories and conformity assessors - to verify safety requirements and acoustic emissions.
  • Procurement and asset managers - to specify compliant winches for vehicle recovery, forestry, offshore stationary use, drilling rigs, boat trailers and industrial pulling applications.
  • Operators and trainers - for correct commissioning, marking and user information.

Using this standard helps reduce mechanical and operational hazards, ensures regulatory alignment within the EU framework, and supports consistent testing and documentation practice.

Related standards

  • EN 14492-2 - Power driven hoists (complementary part for hoists)
  • Annexes ZA/ZB/ZC - show relationships to relevant EU Directives and conformity requirements
