Why Must You Choose an EU Certified Diesel Forklift? The "Compliance Red Line" for European Farms/Construction Sites

Date: Jul 11, 2025

In the EU market, the EU Certified Diesel Forkliftt is a legal threshold for accessing scenarios such as farms and construction sites. Models like HWC-30/EU under Hengwang Group have passed CE certification (Machinery Safety Directive 2006/42/EC) and Euro V emission standards, providing compliant solutions for European customers.

I. EU CE Certification: The "Pass" for Safety Compliance

The Machinery Safety Directive 2006/42/EC requires forklifts to pass over 30 stringent tests, including structural strength testing, electrical safety verification, and emergency braking function. Hengwang’s EU Certified Diesel Forklift (HWC-30/EU) adopts:

lThree-level safety protection system: Anti-overturn design, overload protection, and automatic flameout device;

lExplosion-proof tires and flame-retardant materials: Reducing the risks of tire blowouts and fires;

lCE marking certification: Ensuring the equipment complies with EU machinery directive requirements.

II. Euro V Emission Standards: The "Environmental Iron Law" for Non-Road Machinery

Starting from 2024, the EU requires non-road machinery (including forklifts) to meet Euro V emission standards (nitrogen oxides ≤0.4g/kWh, particulate matter ≤0.025g/kWh). Hengwang’s EU Certified Diesel Forklift (HWC-30/EU) is equipped with:

lTurbocharged diesel engine: Improving combustion efficiency by 20% and reducing emissions by 40%;

lExhaust gas treatment system: DOC+DPF dual filtration to eliminate black smoke pollution;

lReal-time monitoring instrument: Visualizing emission data through ECU control.

III. Three Fatal Risks of Uncertified Equipment

lCustoms clearance blocked: Cargo detention and fines (up to 200% of the goods value);

lConstruction site shutdown: Environmental authorities order work stoppages, with daily fines up to €5,000;

lInsurance claim rejection: Accidents are denied compensation (clauses explicitly exclude illegal equipment).

IV. EU Certified Diesel Forklift vs. Ordinary Forklifts: Comparison of Legal Consequences

lCompliance: EU Certified Diesel Forklift is legally sold and used; ordinary forklifts are prohibited from entering the country, and illegal use faces heavy penalties;

lLiability risk: Enterprises using certified forklifts are exempt from liability, and insurance companies settle claims normally; enterprises using ordinary forklifts bear full legal liability;

lMarket competitiveness: Certified forklifts meet ESG standards and are prioritized for government bidding qualifications; ordinary forklifts are excluded from high-end projects.
