RUD Hoist

In industries where safety is non-negotiable, lifting equipment must be built to handle all possible types of hazards. RUD India’s Explosion-Proof Hoists redefine reliability in high-risk environments. Designed to operate safely in areas with flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dust, these hoists adhere to stringent international standards, ensuring maximum protection against ignition risks. Whether in chemical plants, oil refineries, or mining operations, RUD Hoists deliver unmatched performance while prioritizing worker safety and operational continuity. From electric chain hoists to standard hoists, we offer tailored hoist solutions for your business needs.

RUD Hoist - Industrial Applications

Explosion-proof hoists are critical in environments where even a minor spark can lead to catastrophic events. RUD India’s hoists are engineered to excel in diverse high-risk sectors:

• Oil & Gas: Safely lifting equipment in refineries, drilling sites, and storage facilities where flammable gases are prevalent.
• Chemical & Pharmaceutical: Handling volatile substances, raw materials, or finished products in zones with explosive atmospheres.
• Mining & Coal Processing: Operating in dust-heavy environments where combustible particles pose a constant risk.
• Manufacturing in Hazardous Zones: Transporting machinery, components, or materials in areas classified for gas/dust hazards.
• Waste Management & Recycling: Managing flammable waste materials safely and efficiently.

Why Choose RUD India’s Explosion-Proof Hoists?

RUD India combines cutting-edge engineering with rigorous safety protocols to create hoists that meet the demands of the most challenging environments. Manual or electric chain hoist operations in hazardous zones require industrial lifting equipment that not only performs but also complies with global safety norms. Our explosion-proof hoists eliminate risks, enhance productivity, and ensure compliance with the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC.

Key Features

1. Explosion-Proof Design:

• Built to prevent sparks and excessive heat, with components certified for use in gas (IIB T4/T3) and dust (135°C/200°C) environments.
• Suitable for Zone 1 (gas) and Zone 21 (dust) or lower-risk areas.

2. ATEX Compliance:

• Meets the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC, ensuring adherence to the highest safety standards for explosive atmospheres.

3. Versatile Configurations:

• Hoist machines available in manual, pneumatic, and electric variants to suit diverse operational needs.
• All variants maintain safety ratings for gas and dust environments.

4. Temperature Control:

• Surface temperatures stay below 135°C (T4) or 200°C (T3), preventing ignition of surrounding hazardous substances.

5. Robust Construction:

• Durable materials and corrosion-resistant finishes for longevity in harsh industrial settings.

6. Clear Hazard Zone Compatibility:

• Designed for Zone 1/21 (medium risk) environments, where explosive substances may occasionally be present during normal operations.

Understanding Classifications & Codes

RUD Hoists are categorized to match specific hazardous conditions and work in tandem with other heavy duty industrial lifting equipment:

Gas (G) or Dust (D): Suitable for both gas and dust-laden environments.
Equipment Codes (e.g., EX II 2G IIB T4):

• EX: Explosion-proof certification.
• II: Above-ground industrial use.
• 2G: Suitable for Zone 1 gas environments.
• IIB: Compatible with gases like ethylene, propane, and similar.
• T4/T3: Maximum surface temperature limits (135°C or 200°C).

Hazard Zones Simplified

RUD Hoists are certified for Zone 1/21 operations, providing safety where hazards occur periodically.
