Efficient and safe internal material handling is critical for every manufacturing company. From heavy machine components and steel plates to pallets, tools and semi-finished goods – every lift must be safe, reliable and well-documented.

Certex Norge supplies complete lifting solutions for the manufacturing and process industry, combining certified products, inspection services and technical support tailored to Norwegian regulations and your production environment.

We support everything from small workshops to large industrial plants and maritime suppliers.

  • Harsh or sensitive environments – dust, moisture, chemicals, high hygiene requirements

Our role is to help you choose lifting solutions that are safe, efficient and practical for your operators.
