The vehicle lifting industry is facing a landmark shift. The new EU Regulation 2023/1230 will replace the current Machinery Directive, becoming mandatory on January 20th, 2027, with no transition period.
Zavagli ahead of the curve: Z51, Z61, and Z26 models
We are proud to announce that our flagship models—the Z51 and Z61 2-post lifts and the Z26 double scissor lift—have already successfully passed the new certifications. These products are already fully compliant with the new EN 1493:2022/2023 construction standard, which introduces significantly stricter safety requirements:
- Third-Party Certification: Compliance is guaranteed by notified external bodies, moving permanently beyond the old self-certification regime.
- Advanced Stability: Integration of the new “Load Rectangle” concept required by EN 1493, ensuring flawless weight distribution and superior stability.
- Mechanical and Digital Safety: Updated locking mechanisms and rope dimensioning, including new cyber-security protocols to protect the machine’s software.
