Explosion protection conversion

Published:  15 June, 2017

pyroban-service-support.jpgExplosion protection safety company PYROBAN reports it has responded to industry demand by providing technical support for any ATEX forklift truck, regardless of the brand of explosion protection system. “Not all explosion protection conversion companies have the infrastructure to offer the ongoing support and service needed in a typical hazardous area operation,” explains Darren Boiling, group after sales manager, “To maintain safety and avoid truck downtime, managers must be aware of where they can access the correct technical support.”

The company says forklift trucks, and other materials handling equipment, operating in potentially explosive atmospheres must be converted and maintained appropriately to ensure they cannot be the source of an ignition, and comply with ATEX.
