Workshop Presses: Your Trusted Source for CE Certified Solutions

At Workshop Presses, we’ve seen growing demand from UK engineers who want more than performance – they want safety, reliability, and full compliance. That’s why CE certified hydraulic presses are becoming the top choice across workshops and factories nationwide.

Whether you’re replacing outdated equipment or specifying a new build, understanding why CE certification matters is essential to making the right choice.

What Is CE Certification and Why Does It Matter?

CE certification is a legal requirement for machinery sold in the UK and across Europe. It shows that a product meets all relevant health, safety, and environmental protection standards.

When you buy a hydraulic press machine that is CE certified, you can be sure:

  • It complies with UKCA and EU directives.
  • It’s been tested for safety.
  • You won’t face regulatory issues during audits or inspections.

Put simply: CE certification protects your people, your business, and your output.

How CE Certified Hydraulic Presses Improve Safety

Workshops and factories are high-risk environments. Machines must operate safely – especially when high pressure and heavy components are involved.

Here’s how CE certified hydraulic presses improve safety:

  • Emergency stop systems that meet ISO and EN standards.
  • Guarding and interlocks to prevent operator injury.
  • Overload protection that shuts down under excessive force.
  • Certified electrical components for fire and shock prevention.

These features aren’t just extras – they’re essentials.

Comparing CE Certified vs. Non-Certified Presses

While it might be tempting to cut costs with a cheaper, uncertified model, the risks far outweigh the savings.

Feature CE Certified Press Non-Certified Press
Legal compliance Certified Non-Certified
Insurance approval Certified Non-Certified
Operator safety Certified Non-Certified
Inspection ready Certified Non-Certified
Long-term value Certified Non-Certified

When engineers buy from Workshop Presses, they invest in machines that are built to last and built to protect.

Custom Hydraulic Presses: Certified and Configured

No two workshops are the same. That’s why we offer custom hydraulic presses – tailored machines with CE certification as standard.

Popular custom options include:

  • Unique bed sizes for large components.
  • Specialised tooling for one-off applications.
  • Pressure and stroke adjustments for precision work.
  • Touchscreen or remote control systems.

Our technical team works with you to ensure your press fits your space, your process, and your compliance needs.

Why Engineers Are Choosing CE Certified Hydraulic Presses

Engineers across the UK are making the switch for three key reasons:

  • Regulatory peace of mind: Certification ensures equipment meets HSE and insurance requirements.
  • Operator confidence: Machines are safer and easier to use.
  • Operational continuity: No downtime from compliance issues or failed audits.

As regulations become stricter, certified equipment is no longer optional – it’s essential.

How to Buy Hydraulic Press Machines with CE Certification

If you’re ready to upgrade, here’s how to get started:

  • Assess your application: Know your tonnage, material, and frequency of use.
  • Set safety standards: Don’t compromise – demand CE certification.
  • Explore customisation: Make sure the press fits your needs.
  • Get expert guidance: Our team is on hand to help you select the right model.

FAQs

What is the CE mark and is it valid post-Brexit?

Yes. CE marking remains valid in the UK under UKCA rules, with slight variations in documentation.

Can I upgrade my old press to meet CE standards?

Often not cost-effectively. It’s usually better to replace non-compliant machines.

How do I prove CE compliance during an inspection?

All Workshop Presses machines include documentation and a declaration of conformity.

Are CE certified hydraulic presses more expensive?

Not necessarily. The long-term savings on insurance, safety, and productivity far outweigh any extra upfront cost.

How soon can I get a press delivered?

Many models are in stock for rapid UK delivery. Custom builds typically take 2-4 weeks.
