GB 28755-2012

This standard specifies safety requirements for simple lifts, which are defined as lifting platforms with a rated capacity typically not exceeding 500 kg and a lifting height not exceeding 12 meters, used exclusively for transporting goods. It applies to the design, manufacture, installation, use, inspection, and maintenance of these lifts in industrial and commercial settings, such as warehouses, factories, and retail stores, where they are not intended for passenger use. The standard ensures that these devices incorporate essential safety features like overload protection, interlocks, and emergency stop mechanisms to prevent accidents during material handling operations.
