Our group strives to be a pioneer in the field of decarbonization and circular economy and for this reason has deeply embedded the topic of sustainability in its strategic corporate direction. At the same time, we see it as our commitment to develop innovative lifting solutions that improve both productivity and environmental efficiency.

We are pleased to announce today the publication of our first environmental product declaration for ATHLO chain utilizing a pole changing lifting motor and with a manually operated travelling trolley in size AB for load capacities up to 500 kg.

This declaration serves as an evidence-based guide to make informed decisions. The declaration is available online and only in English.

With an environmental product declaration, environmental impacts are considered not only over the time the product is used, but over the entire value chain of the product.

For the preparation of this environmental product declaration, the environmental impact of ATHLO chain AB was analysed in detail and transparently using the life cycle analysis in accordance with the internationally recognised ISO standards 14040 to 14044. This analysis has been examined both thoroughly and critically by one of Europe’s leading and independent research and development organisations, the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd.

As part of an ongoing process, it is envisaged that these declarations will also be published for other SWF products.
