ATEX 3G Lift Truck Conversions for Zone 2 (Passive)
Pyroban can convert materials handling equipment for safe use in Zone 2 hazardous areas in a range of applications where gas and vapour ignition risk exists. We also provide full support through the working life of the truck, anywhere.
When gas detection is not required or not suitable for a Zone 2 certified area, Pyroban offers the Ex-tec 3G system for electric vehicles and Euromech 3G for diesel vehicles.
Pyroban conversions are designed for reliable and efficient performance in tough environments and eliminate the ignition risk, keeping workers and assets safe. All Pyroban products are certified to ATEX 2014/34/EU & UKSI 2016 No. 1107 typically following standard EN1755, and in accordance with ISO3691. Diesel or electric vehicles only.
ATEX conversions for forklifts, pallet trucks, stackers and more…
We will develop a passive explosion protection package to offer maximum safety with the minimum of impact on your truck. We ensure that the truck’s original ergonomics and specification is retained so that the conversion has the smallest impact possible on the day to day use of your lift truck.
