When investing in a stacker, the CE marking you see on the product's chassis or technical documentation is more than just an aesthetic badge; it's a fundamental commitment from the manufacturer to safety and compliance. The CE mark signifies that the manufacturer has designed and manufactured the product in accordance with the European Union's stringent health, safety, and environmental protection standards. Especially when it comes to industrial machinery that carries tons of loads and poses potential risks, the CE mark is not an option; it's both a legal and ethical obligation. This certificate is the most fundamental assurance that the machine you've purchased not only performs its job but also ensures the safety of your most valuable asset: your employees.
Safety Guarantee: The Protections Provided by CE
A CE mark declares that a product is "safe," not "high quality." This distinction is crucial. For a stacker to comply with CE standards, it must incorporate a number of built-in safety mechanisms. Chief among these is overload protection. This system prevents the operator from accidentally attempting to lift a load heavier than the machine's capacity. This simple yet vital feature is a fuse that prevents the machine from losing its balance and tipping over, or damaging its hydraulic system. Another mandatory feature is an easily accessible emergency stop button. Reliable and load-sensitive braking systems, protective guards, and stability tests that prove the machine will not tip over even under the most challenging conditions are also essential components of CE compliance.
Legal Liability and Employer Liability
There is also a legal dimension to this issue. If you use a machine without a CE certificate in your workplace and an accident occurs due to this machine, you, as an employer, are unavoidably held legally responsible. Therefore, choosing a CE-certified product is not only a sound technical decision but also a wise management decision that legally protects your business and yourself.

It means ensuring the safety of your employees, fulfilling your legal responsibilities, and investing in equipment you can safely use for many years to come. Regardless of its attractive price, a machine without a CE mark and of unknown origin poses a significant safety and financial risk to your business. Never compromise on safety.
