In the pulp and paper industry, continuous production and reliable internal logistics are critical. Heavy rolls, reels, bales, process equipment and maintenance
components must be handled safely in environments with moisture, chemicals and high temperatures.
Certex Norge supplies lifting, rigging and fall protection solutions for pulp and paper production, helping you maintain safety, uptime and efficient material flow.
We support pulp mills, paper and board mills, tissue producers, packaging manufacturers and associated service companies.
Your challenges in pulp and paper
Typical challenges in this industry include:
- Heavy and sensitive loads – paper rolls, reels, bales and process components that are both heavy and damage-sensitive
- Demanding environments – moisture, steam, chemicals and high temperatures in certain areas
- High demands on uptime – stoppages quickly affect output and delivery commitments
- Complex plants – long lines, multiple levels and confined spaces around machinery
- Strict safety and HSE requirements – rules for lifting operations, work at height and confined spaces
We help you select lifting solutions that are safe, practical and adapted to your production environment.
Our solutions for the pulp and paper industry
Lifting gear for cranes and hoists
Certex Norge delivers lifting gear for overhead cranes, monorails, jib cranes and hoists commonly used in pulp and paper plants:
- Chain slings and components
- Wire rope slings and special heavy-duty slings
- Textile slings (round slings, webbing slings) for sensitive surfaces and wrapped products
- Lifting beams, spreader beams and C-hooks
- Shackles, hooks and lifting points
All lifting gear can be delivered with certificates and documentation.
Handling of rolls, reels and bales
Handling finished products and intermediate goods is central to this industry. We offer:
- Special lifting beams and C-hooks for paper and board rolls
- Grabs and clamps for bales and units
- Solutions that protect product surfaces and edges during lifting
- Custom tools adapted to your roll dimensions, weights and handling systems
We help you find solutions that combine gentle handling with safe lifting.
Maintenance lifting in process areas
Maintenance of digesters, washers, presses, dryers, pumps, motors and other equipment requires safe lifting tools. Certex Norge can supply:
- Lifting beams and frames tailored to specific components
- Temporary lifting points and attachment solutions
- Wire rope and chain solutions for hoisting and positioning in confined spaces
We work with your maintenance and engineering teams to design practical solutions.
Wire ropes for cranes and hoists
Cranes and hoists in pulp and paper plants often operate intensively. We provide:
- Steel wire ropes adapted to your equipment, load cycles and environment
- Rope terminations, sockets and fittings
- Technical support for rope selection, installation and inspection
Our aim is to maximise safe rope lifetime while maintaining reliability.
Fall protection and work at height
Work at height is common in pulp and paper plants – in galleries, platforms, towers and on roofs. We offer:
- Personal fall protection (harnesses, lanyards, fall arrest blocks)
- Permanent and temporary lifeline systems and anchor points

We support you in meeting requirements for safe access and work at height in complex plant layouts.
