EXPLOSION PROOF CRANES are specialized lifting devices designed for use in hazardous environments where there is a risk of explosion due to flammable gases, vapors, dust, or fibers. These cranes are built to prevent ignition sources from causing explosions, ensuring safe operation in such settings.

They can be of various types, including Single girder EOT cranes, Double girder EOT cranes, Gantry / Goliath Cranes, Jib cranes, and more. Here are the primary uses and advantages of explosion-proof cranes:

• Chemical and Petrochemical Industries, Power Plants
  • Handling Hazardous Materials – Used in facilities where flammable chemicals and gases are handled, processed, or stored. They ensure safe lifting and movement of materials without causing sparks or ignition.
  • Maintenance and Repair – Assist in the maintenance and repair of equipment in hazardous areas, ensuring operations are conducted safely.
• Oil and Gas Industries
  • Offshore Platforms – Utilized on offshore oil rigs and platforms for handling equipment, materials, and supplies, ensuring safe operations in explosive atmospheres.
  • Refineries – Essential in oil refineries for moving heavy components, conducting maintenance, and handling materials.
• Mining Industries
  • Underground Mining – Used in underground mining operations where explosive gases or dust may be present, ensuring safe material handling and equipment movement.
  • Processing Plants – Applied in mineral processing plants to handle materials in potentially explosive environments.
• Pharmaceutical Industry
  • Production and Storage – Employed in environments with high levels of combustible dust, such as sugar refineries, flour mills, and grain processing plants, to prevent dust explosions.
• Food and Beverage Industry
  • Dusty Environments – Used in the production and storage areas where flammable solvents and chemicals are used, ensuring safe handling of materials and equipment.
• Aerospace and Defense sectors
  • Utilized in the manufacturing and maintenance of aerospace and defense equipment where explosive materials or atmospheres may be present.
