New CARTEC accessories for lifting systems
The catalogue of CARTEC-brand lifting system accessories is continually expanding: here are a few of the new items from recent months
Lifting systems and rigging hardware of top high quality, full control over production, technology innovation that never stops: this is Stamperia Carcano’s world.
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.
The core of Carcano production is obviously centred around hot forging: in order to perform these operations, we have installed modern automated systems that ensure we enjoy high precision and high quality as well as consistent results over time.
Ever since its conception, Carcano has relentlessly pursued its objective of total quality: every action and every company process is geared towards achieving this important aspiration that lies at the heart of satisfying our customers all over the world.
During the early 2000s it seemed that the role of trade fairs was gradually losing importance, so much so that some people even believed they were destined to disappear and be replaced by technology. Carcano believes in technological progress, but also in meeting together: the pandemic proved us right.
