The VL Electric Chain Hoist with hook suspension for applications where horizontal movement is not required
The Eurochain VL electric chain hoist is suitable for use in areas with non conductive dust in a zone 22 area and has a safe working load of up to 10,000kg.
The technical features of the Eurochain VL Electric Chain Hoist (ATEX Zone 22):
The VL Electric Chain Hoist with hook suspension for applications where horizontal movement is not required
The VL Electric Chain Hoist with push trolley provides horizontal push movement for loads
For bigger loads a Geared Travel Trolley can be used with VL Electric Chain Hoist to provide horizontal movement and a lifting capacity
Pairing the VL Electric Chain Hoist with a Variable Speed Electric Trolley provides more flexible motorised travel
Hoists, whether they are electric chain hoists, manual chain hoists, electric wire rope hoists or electric belt hoists are all manufactured with 10 years of serviceable life before a major overhaul or replacement is required. The ten year service life may not necessarily be a physical ten years of operation, but may be used up more quickly or slowly based on how the machine is being operated during its working life.
In order to help evaluate the working life of a hoist you need to be able to calculate how much of the original manufacturers Safe Working Period exists after your lifting operations have occurred.
When equipment is rated as ATEX, what does this mean?
ATEX is the name commonly given to the two European directives for controlling explosive atmospheres. ATEX lifting equipment can mean electric chain hoists, wire rope hoists and belt hoists, winches, trolleys and pneumatic lifting equipment, and can be referred to as spark proof or Ex equipment.
