Forklift, lifting machinery and loading ramp certification in Greece
Keep your equipment legal, safe and free of overdue certificates.
or call 6948047149
For 35 years we have worked in the certification of lifting machinery and the issuing of plates. We take on forklifts and other lifting machines, as well as loading ramps, which are often forgotten and fall under the provisions of ΦΕΚ 1186 Β' (Greek Government Gazette).
So you don't have to keep track of the dates yourself, you tell us once how many certificates expire and when, and we personally alert you a month ahead. That way you are not caught with overdue certifications or possible fines. You will receive an indicative quote based on your machines.

The certification requirement does not stop at forklifts. Here is what article 2, paragraph 2.3 of ΦΕΚ 1186 Β' (Greek Government Gazette) provides:
