The explosion proof hoist is a type of lifting equipment used in hazardous environments. Explosion proof hoists usually use aluminum alloy housing and stainless steel ropes. That makes them corrosion-resistant and explosion resistant. Besides, the electrical system of the explosion proof hoist uses explosion proof components, such as explosion-proof motors, explosion-proof switches, and explosion-proof control boxes.
Explosion-proof marking: The shell of the explosion proof hoist is usually marked with the Ex symbol, where "Ex" stands for explosion-proof. Besides, it is also marked with the corresponding explosion-proof level, such as Ex d IIB T4, etc.
Explosion-proof rating: The explosion proof rating follows the international standard IECEx and the EU explosion-proof standard ATEX, which usually classify explosion-protected equipment into different classes, such as Ex d, Ex e, and Ex i.

The explosion proof hoist is explosion-proof, but it cannot be completely explosion-proof. Because in extreme environments, such as high concentrations of combustible substances in gases, even equipment with explosion-proof features can explode.
The explosion-proof performance is achieved by using a series of safety measures. For example, the use of aluminum alloy casing and stainless steel rope. And the use of electrical equipment such as explosion-proof motors and explosion-proof appliances. As well as using safety protection devices such as limiters and power-off brakes. These safety measures can reduce the risk of explosion-proof electric hoist explosion but do not cut the possibility of explosion.
Thus, please follow safe operating procedures when using the explosion-proof hoist. Avoid Using explosion-proof hoists in hazardous environments such as flammable, explosive, corrosive, and dusty environments. Besides, inspect and maintain the explosion-proof hoist to ensure it is in good working condition. If the explosion proof hoist has abnormal conditions, should immediately stop using it and seek maintenance services.
Explosion proof hoists are more expensive than regular hoists. Because they are required to meet more stringent safety standards and conditions of use. In general, the price of an explosion-proof hoist can be twice or more than that of a normal electric hoist. Generally speaking, the price of an explosion-proof hoist will range from thousands of dollars to tens of thousands of dollars.
Also, the price of the explosion-proof hoist will be affected by the lifting capacity, lifting speed and operation mode, etc. Some explosion-proof hoists may also be equipped with advanced safety features(overload protection, limiters, and power-off brakes) which will impact the price.
Although the explosion-proof hoist price is high, it is an essential choice when lifting equipment needs to be used in hazardous environments.
Explosion-proof hoists are used in chemical plants, refineries, and other dangerous lifting situations.
When using the explosion proof hoist, it must be operated by the provisions of its marking and rating. Also, attention should be paid to regular inspection and maintenance during use, such as whether the electrical equipment is intact, whether there are cracks in the ropes, and whether the brakes are normal.
The explosion-proof hoist is designed to be used in hazardous environments such as flammable and explosive, corrosive and dusty. So its explosion-proof performance is safer and more reliable. Explosion proof hoist can also be used in general working conditions, but its cost may be higher. Using explosion-proof hoists in general working conditions may seem a little wasteful.
It is important to note that the explosion-proof hoist will be heavier and larger. This is because it requires the use of thicker materials and more safety measures. Thus, you need to choose the right specifications according to the working conditions to ensure that it is safe, reliable and meets the needs of users.
At Yuantai, we know that there is no "one size fits all" in the lifting field. Universal cranes are suitable for general factories, warehouses, etc. Besides, different applications have different needs for cranes. For example, steel industries often lift steel plates, so need electromagnetic cranes. Ports and docks often need to load ore, gravel, and other bulk goods, so need to grab bucket cranes. Chemical dangerous places often need to carry flammable and explosive materials, so need explosion proof cranes.
