Spark resistant hand chain hoists for lifting in zoned areas, with bronze plated load chain, hooks and contact surfaces. Built by Yale, including low-headroom and integrated trolley versions; run them on an ATEX beam trolley, or see our standard hand chain hoists for non-hazardous areas.



Hand chain hoists rated for explosive atmospheres are used where powered lifting is not permitted and the risk of a spark from the equipment itself has to be eliminated. Construction uses spark-resistant materials at the points where contact and friction occur.
Certification is specific to the zone and to whether the hazard is gas or dust. Confirm both against the site classification before ordering.
The suspension point, trolley, sling and shackle all enter the same atmosphere as the hoist. Specify suitable items throughout rather than rating the hoist alone.
No. The lifting method is the same. What changes is that the equipment must not be modified or repaired with non-original parts.
Yes, it works as a standard hand chain hoist. The rating restricts nothing about ordinary use.
