Ex-Proof Cranes & Hoists

Three configurations engineered for hazardous-area lifting. Each unit is built with non-sparking materials, Ex-proof hooks, and certified electrical components for safe operation in Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 environments.

Cross Travel Wheels

For a wide range of applications in explosive atmospheres, robust and long-lasting cast iron running wheels can be used. In special cases, for operating speeds of 1 m/s and above, running wheels made from solid brass are optionally available to provide additional spark protection; however, this option involves increased maintenance requirements.
