Defence and security operations place high demands on reliability, safety and readiness. Lifting, rigging and securing of loads must work every time – whether it is on bases, in workshops, at sea or in the field.
Certex Norge supplies lifting and rigging solutions for defence and defence industry applications, combining certified products with technical support and documentation adapted to strict requirements.
We support the armed forces, defence-related industry, shipyards, maintenance units and contractors.
Your challenges in the defence sector
Typical challenges include:
- Demanding environments – coastal, maritime, off‑road and extreme climate conditions
- Varied and complex loads – vehicles, containers, weapon systems, components and equipment
- High safety and security requirements – strict internal regulations, standards and documentation needs
- Availability and readiness – equipment must be ready when operations require it
- Combination of standard and specialised equipment – need for both standardised solutions and custom tools
We help you choose lifting and securing solutions that are robust, traceable and adapted to your mission profile.
