Safety First: Why Hydro-Park Never Compromises — CE Certification & 72-Hour Salt-Spray Test Explained
When you park your $150,000 car on a lift every day, “good enough” is not an option.
At Hydro-Park, safety is not a feature — it is the foundation.
Here are the two non-negotiable standards every Hydro-Park leaves our factory with:
1. Full CE Certification (EN 1493:2010 & Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC)
Every single model — from the compact Hydro-Park 3230 to the heavy-duty 2525 — is tested and certified by an independent EU Notified Body.
What CE actually guarantees in our case:
- Overload protection (150 % dynamic, 200 % static test)
Anti-fall mechanical locks on every cylinder (engage automatically)
Parachute valves + rupture valves (instant stop if hose breaks)
24 V low-voltage control system (safe even with wet hands)
Emergency stop button + electric auto-release in power failure
No stickers, no “CE-like” — real certificates with Notified Body number, always attached to every quotation.
2. 72-Hour Salt-Spray Test (ISO 9227) — Proven Coastal Protection
Ordinary powder coating fails in 200–300 hours near the sea.
Hydro-Park platforms and critical parts survive minimum 72 hours (3 full days) of continuous salt fog with zero red rust.
How we achieve it:
- Platforms: wave galvanised
- Frame: AkzoNobel marine-grade powder coating on sand-blasted steel
- Bolts & nuts: Dacromet + extra sealant → 1000+ hours rating
Result: NO corrosion in Dubai, Miami, Odessa, Sochi, Montevideo — proven on thousands of installed units.
Real-world proof, not marketing words
- CE certificate — attached to every contract
- 5-year structural warranty + 1-year parts warranty worldwide
Because when your family car, your clients’ Mercedes or your collection of classic Porsches hangs 2 metres above the ground, there is simply **no room for compromise**.
