Mining and quarry operations place extreme demands on lifting equipment. Heavy loads, abrasive materials and tough weather conditions mean that both products and routines must deliver a very high level of safety and reliability.
Certex Norge supplies robust lifting solutions for quarries, mineral extraction, rock and aggregates, tunnelling projects and related industries. We combine certified products with inspection services and technical expertise adapted to Norwegian regulations and operating conditions.
Your challenges in mining and quarry operations
Operations in this sector typically face:
- Heavy and irregular loads – crushers, screens, conveyor components, wear parts and large steel structures
- Abrasive and dirty environments – dust, moisture, mud and sharp edges
- Outdoor and exposed locations – temperature variations, wind and precipitation
- High demands on uptime – stoppages quickly affect production and delivery capacity
- Strict safety requirements – internal HSE rules and external regulations for lifting equipment and work at height
We help you choose solutions that can withstand the environment and keep both people and equipment safe.
Our solutions for the mining industry
Lifting gear for maintenance and repairs
Maintenance of crushers, screens, conveyors and heavy machinery requires safe lifting solutions. We deliver:
- Chain slings in various grades and configurations
- Wire rope slings and special slings for heavy lifts
- Robust textile slings for sensitive or coated surfaces
- Lifting beams, spreader beams and special tools for specific components
- Shackles, hooks and lifting points for permanent and temporary attachment
All equipment is delivered with necessary certificates and documentation.
Wire ropes for hoists, cranes and winches
Reliable wire rope is critical for cranes, hoists and winches used in mining and quarry operations. Certex Norge offers:
- Steel wire ropes adapted to your equipment and load cycles
- Rope terminations, sockets and fittings
- Technical support for rope selection, installation, inspection and replacement
Our goal is to help you maximise rope lifetime while maintaining safety and compliance.
Load handling and material logistics
Handling heavy and awkward loads is everyday business in mining. We can supply:
