Do I get a certificate with my order? 

All lifting, height safety and material handling equipment supplied by Prolift Handling will be supplied with relevant certificates.Normally the equipment will be supplied with a thorough examination report for new equipment supplied and a CE certificate of conformity. Prolift sell high quality European manufactured products which meet or exceed EN standards, so therefore our paperwork is always in order.

Certificates and reports can be accessed online through our website homepage under “Online Cert Login”.
