Cranes & Heavy-Duty Homologation

//When machinery has to move on public roads, real regulatory work begins.

For cranes, mobile machinery and heavy-duty special vehicles, machinery law, product compliance and road-use requirements meet directly. That is exactly the interface we work on.

Regulation (EU) 2025/14 creates the EU framework for non-road mobile machinery circulating on public roads.

Thinking road and machine at the same time

In heavy-duty machinery projects, it is not enough to look only at the machine function or only at public-road use. What is needed is a combined view of technical safety, product compliance, road-use requirements and documented evidence. That is where many projects become unnecessarily complex — and where we provide clarity.

//Our services for cranes and heavy-duty machinery

//SCOPE AND CLASIFICATION

We determine which regulatory framework applies to the machine, the road-use scenario and the intended market placement.

//Technical Requirements

We structure the requirements for safety, road-relevant functions and approval-relevant documentation.

//Test Management

We coordinate technical proof, test routes and interfaces with technical services.

//Documentation

We build robust records for approval, conformity and internal release processes.

//Operational Transition

We support the move into a stable market and operating framework, including later changes and developments.

//Your Questions answered

Is this mainly machinery law or vehicle law?

Depending on the product and use case, both can matter. That is exactly why early classification is critical.

Is EU Regulation 2025/14 already relevant now?

Yes. It applies from 29 January 2028, but it already allows national authorities to grant EU type approvals and EU individual approvals from 28 January 2025.

Do you also support existing machines or retrofit projects?

Yes. These cases in particular require a clean regulatory classification before technical measures are implemented.

What is the most common mistake in heavy-duty projects?

Failing to distinguish early between machine function, road circulation and documentary proof logic.
