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:

  • Grabs and clamps for plates, beams and other steel components
  • Pipe and profile grabs for structural elements
  • Crane forks and lifting jibs for palletised goods and materials
  • Lifting baskets and containers for tools, spare parts and equipment

We help adapt the solutions to your specific equipment and workspace.

Fall protection and work at height

Maintenance and inspection often involve work at height around crushers, silos, conveyors and structures. We offer:

  • Personal fall protection (harnesses, lanyards, fall arrest blocks)
  • Anchors and lifeline systems (temporary and permanent)
  • Rescue equipment and evacuation systems for emergency situations

We support you in meeting requirements for safe work at height in demanding environments.
