Lifting & Safety Solutions for Manufacturing & Automated Warehousing
At Certex UK, we deliver advanced lifting, inspection, and safety solutions tailored for modern manufacturing plants and automated warehouse environments. Whether you're handling raw materials, finished products, or automated storage systems, our solutions are built to support safety, compliance, and operational efficiency at every stage.
Key Challenges in Manufacturing & Warehousing—and Our Solutions
Maintaining Safety in High-Volume, High-Speed Operations
Challenge: Manufacturing and logistics facilities must meet stringent safety standards while operating continuously at pace.
Solution:
- LOLER & PUWER-Compliant Inspections – Ensure all lifting and mechanical handling equipment is legally certified.
- Non-Destructive Testing and Magnetic Rope Testing (MRT) – Identify internal defects in lifting gear and steel wire without disrupting operations.
- Operator Safety Training – Equip your workforce with safe lifting, slinging, equipment handling and pre use inspection practices.
Handling a Wide Range of Loads
Challenge: Diverse and irregularly shaped loads—ranging from components to palletised goods—require adaptable lifting equipment.
Solution:
- Versatile Slings, Hoists & Lifting Beams – Configured for everything from machine parts to bulk containers.
- Custom Lifting Attachments – Tailored to suit complex or repetitive lifting tasks.
- Vacuum Lifters & Gripping Systems – Ideal for sheet goods, panels, and delicate loads.
Integrating with Automation & Smart Warehousing Systems
Challenge: As automated warehouses and smart factories grow, lifting and safety systems must work seamlessly with robotics and conveyors.
Solution:
- Compact Hoists & Crane Systems – Designed for integration with automated workflows and tight spaces.
- Load Monitoring & Smart Sensors – Enable real-time data capture, alerts, and control integration.
- Custom-Engineered Handling Solutions – Developed in collaboration with automation integrators.
Reducing Downtime & Improving Equipment Availability
Challenge: Unexpected lifting equipment failures can halt production or distribution.
Solution:
- Planned Preventative Maintenance – Scheduled visits to ensure optimal lifting equipment performance and lifespan.
- 24/7 Wire Rope Monitoring – Smart wire rope monitoring systems providing automated alerts as condition degrades.
- Digital Asset Management – Track equipment inspection dates and certification in one system.
Enhancing Ergonomics & Reducing Manual Handling Risks
Challenge: Workers face fatigue and injury risks without the right lifting support, especially in manual or semi-automated areas.
Solution:
- Jib Cranes & Lightweight Gantries – Improve mobility and safety at workstations and assembly lines.
- Manipulator Arms & Assist Lifts – Reduce physical strain in repetitive or precision handling tasks.
- Tailored Workstation Lifting Solutions – Designed around your workflow and floor space.
