ATEX-Certified Power Towers Machines  

Power Towers machines have become an indispensable tool in various industries, providing efficient access for tasks at low-level height. As safety regulations continue to evolve, there’s a growing emphasis on ensuring equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres meets stringent standards. 

ATEX is derived from the French term “Atmosphères explosibles.” It refers to the European Union directive that governs equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.  

Power Towers machines offer enhanced safety features, making them suitable for industries where combustible substances may pose a risk. One of the primary benefits of ATEX-certified Power Towers machines is their design to prevent the ignition of explosive atmospheres. Such models as Pecolift, Ecolift and Ecolift WR can be considered ATEX. These models have no oils or batteries, thus no sparking can be caused. Important to know, that Pecolift and Ecolift initially are not ATEX-certified, but by request, we can provide the certification.

If you need a mobile elevating platform for works in potentially explosive atmospheres, you must mention it to our salesperson. Our engineers will review the machines construction, and the MEWPs will undergo rigorous testing before being sold into ATEX environment.  

Same scenario applies to electrical MEWPs, which can be used in potentially explosive atmospheres as well. Electrical components of ATEX-certified machines have to be carefully engineered to minimize the risk of sparks or heat generation that could ignite flammable substances in the surrounding atmosphere. This is particularly critical in industries such as petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing, where explosive atmospheres are common.  

Moreover, ATEX certification extends beyond electrical components, encompassing non-electrical aspects of machines used on a worksite. This includes mechanical components and even surface temperatures to ensure they don’t reach levels that could trigger ignition in explosive environments.  

Choosing ATEX-certified Power Towers machines not only aligns with safety regulations. It also demonstrates a commitment to the well-being of workers and the surrounding environment. Employers can have confidence that their equipment meets the highest safety standards, reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing overall workplace safety.  

In conclusion, the integration of ATEX certification with Power Towers machines is a significant step forward in ensuring safety in industries where explosive atmospheres are a concern. Investing in ATEX-certified equipment is not just a compliance requirement. It is a strategic move towards creating a secure and reliable work environment.
