Understanding the Importance of Certified Lifting Clamps

Safety Standards in Lifting Operations

Compliance with safety standards is essential in the lifting industry. These standards guarantee the protection of workers, equipment, and materials. Accordingly, strict adherence to these regulations is mandatory when using lifting clamps. Custom lifting clamps that comply with current regulations and client-provided specifications offer additional assurance regarding their reliability and performance. As a specialist in custom lifting solutions, the Godet Group pays particular attention to standard compliance, providing its clients with total peace of mind regarding the safety of their lifting operations.

Benefits of FEM Group A5 Lifting Clamps

The custom lifting clamps manufactured by the Godet Group comply with FEM Group A5 regulations. These design rules, derived from the NF EN 13001 standard, define a set of requirements for lifting clamps:

Lifting Speed: Maximum 30 m/min
Number of Operating Cycles: Between 63,000 and 125,000
Maximum Load Duty Factor: Between 50% and 100%

Designing lifting clamps based on these rules ensures that our customers receive high-performance, secure tools. Furthermore, adherence to these regulations ensures your custom lifting clamps are fully compliant. They are therefore supplied with a Certificate of Conformity.
