Electrical chain hoist in ATEX PS-GPEX D, PS-GPEX G
Atex electric chain hoist is intended for use in potentially explosive zones. The explosion-proofing of the hoist ensures safety of operation in an area where for example dusts or flammable gases occur. The explosion protection can also be achieved by eliminating potential ignition sources, properly designed components of the hoist or monitoring operating temperature.
General characteristics of the hoists in explosion-proof ATEX:
- lifting capacity up to 6,000 kg
- 42 V control voltage (safe)
- power supply voltage 3 × 400V, 50Hz (other on request)
- one or two lifting speeds
