Explosive atmospheres can arise in many industrial processes — often from substances that are part of everyday production. Below are the most common sources of ignition risks, each requiring specialised equipment to ensure safe handling and compliance with ATEX regulations. We are certified to develop and construct explosion-proof lifting tables and lifting equipment in all classifications.
Flammable substances like solvents, ethanol, or industrial chemicals can mix with air and form dangerous atmospheres. This is common in chemical processing, pharmaceutical production, and beverage manufacturing. Our solutions are designed to prevent ignition and maintain reliable operation in these volatile settings. We meet all relevant gas and vapour classifications, including IIIA, IIIB, and IIIC.
Dust from flour, grain, wood, or pharmaceuticals can ignite even in small quantities. TRANSLYFT designs lifting solutions that are fully enclosed and constructed without ignition points. We meet all relevant dust and powder classifications, including IIIA, IIIB, and IIIC.
These can form during spraying, cleaning, or processing in industries such as food, cosmetics, and surface treatment. Our lifting equipment is built to handle these environments using sealed components and ATEX-approved electrical systems that ensure safety under changing conditions.
Start by completing our ATEX Questionnaire, which helps us define your zone, temperature class, gas or dust type, and any special requirements. Based on this, we design a custom solution that meets all compliance and safety standards.
Regarding ATEX Lifting Solutions
ATEX stands for "Atmosphères Explosibles", and refers to two EU directives that regulate equipment used in potentially explosive environments. It ensures that machinery and components are designed to prevent ignition from gases, vapours, dusts, or fibres.
Our lifting solutions are certified for use in Zones 1, 2, 21, and 22 — covering both gas and dust environments. We help you determine the correct zone classification based on your application and guide you through the requirements.
A fully approved solution means all components are built to ATEX standards and installed inside the hazardous zone. A partially approved solution places critical components, like the power pack or controls, outside the zone — simplifying maintenance while still meeting safety requirements.
TRANSLYFT ATEX solutions are used in industries such as:
Wherever explosive atmospheres may develop, we provide tailored lifting equipment to support safe and efficient operations.
Yes. Every ATEX-certified lifting table is thoroughly inspected and approved by an independent certification body prior to shipment. You also receive complete documentation, including an O&M manual and safety instructions.
