How to choose your course at the CARTEC Safety Academy? Here is what the safe lifting school offers and how to organise company training

Carcano has received Certification from the LEEA as an Associate Member: a certificate demonstrating the quality and safety of products and processes alike

When we offer our customers a new product, whether it is a new entry in the catalogue or an ad hoc creation for one customer, what lies inside it is a world of technology and research with decades of history in its wake and the working together of a trained and specialised team.

That’s a truism for all to see, but it is not always as obvious as it might appear: when it comes to carbon footprints, we need to remember that the most sustainable impact is the one that avoids being produced. That’s why we concentrate our efforts on reducing emissions.

With the introduction of the online CARTEC Safety Academy, Carcano has provided the world with the chance of following advanced training on lifting and handling loads. An opportunity met with enthusiasm by companies on the international stage.

Carcano’s approach to sustainability includes an all-round commitment, which ranges from the installation of solar panels to the adoption of environmentally friendly and sustainable packaging. And, of course, this means continual research and ongoing improvements following a route that includes no stops.

When we presented the new rotating eyebolt Performer 813X, we had some fun imagining what could be lifted with this extraordinary product: well, with its mere 33 mm thread, the smallest in its range, you could actually lift two T-Rexes.

To operate in total safety in the lifting field, Carcano has established the CARTEC Safety Academy, structured in three levels: the first of these already allows operators to learn the notions required to operate in total tranquillity.

Knowledge and measurability are at the heart of total quality – an objective we aim for in our work every day – and the very possibility of making improvements: this is why process monitoring is absolutely essential.

Obtaining the H92 mark from DGUV for its grade 80 and grade 100 accessories used in its lifting systems is one of Carcano’s major successes: the desire to certify processes and products is, however, part of a specific company philosophy devoted to quality and transparency.

We like to think that the Carcano company philosophy is based on a fundamental principle: that of all-round respect for customers, people, the environment and also goods. This is the principle, which has always remained unchanged and has guided our growth over the years and our expansion into international markets.

We have often talked about how Carcano keeps precise tracks on every process and every check performed on every batch of products. So, if tracking is an essential requirement of our products, it is equally important to underline that such checking starts with the actual casting of the steel.
