In hazardous work environments, such as mines, chemical plants, oil refineries, explosions can occur due to the presence of flammable dust, vapors, gasses. 

These explosions can cause significant damage to property and equipment, and in the worst case they can lead to severe injuries and  fatalities.

Consequently,  it is very important to take preventive measures to significantly reduce the risk of explosions.

One of the aims of Maspero is to create cutting-edge technology for explosion-proof lifts, in order to keep workers safe on the job. 

These company’s lifts are designed to operate in extreme conditions, including high temperatures, humidity, and corrosive environments.

Explosion-proof lifts for hazardous work environments: benefits and features

Explosion-proof lifts are realized in order to withstand the pressure and heat generated by an explosion and prevent it from spreading to other parts of the facility. 

They can be suitable for many applications, such as personnel transportation, material handling, and maintenance. 

For the purpose of ensuringIng that explosion-proof lifts are safe and effective, they must meet specific regulations and certifications. The most common certification for explosion-proof equipment is the ATEX certification, which is required in the European Union and other parts of the world.

This certification also provides for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure that the lifts continue to meet these standards over time.

Over the years, Maspero Elevators has focused its research on the production of explosion-proof  lifts, made of high-quality materials that can withstand extreme temperatures and harsh environments. They are equipped with explosion-proof components, such as wiring, motors, switches, that prevent electrical sparks and heat from igniting flammable substances.

Also, our ATEX elevators are created in order to be reliable and durable: the explosion-proof  lifts are made of materials that are resistant to corrosion, such as aluminum and steel, and are easy to operate and clean.

In addition they can be customized to meet specific requirements, such as platform size, weight capacity, and height.

Our ATEX lifts can also be equipped with optional features, such as remote control, load sensors, and emergency stop buttons; in any case they are also designed to be energy-efficient, reducing the operating costs for businesses.

One example of our production is the installation of explosion-proof elevators for an Indian Refinery,

The lifts were equipped with explosion-proof components and met the ATEX standards. They helped to reduce the risk of accidents, falls and injuries and improved the productivity of the maintenance tasks.
