Floor Cranes With Spark Resistant Features / Explosion proof.

For Floor cranes to be used in potentially explosive areas / atmospheres such as Zone 1 or 2, SELS can include any anti-sparking features that our customers specify - this will increase its anti-sparking properties and therefore make the crane more suitable for use in a potentially explosive environment.

SELS will not to take the responsibility of supplying our floor cranes described as 'spark proof' as this is ‘too broad’ a term. We believe that total compliance is probably impossible because of the mechanical operation and movement of a floor crane; i.e. we cannot offer a 100% guarantee that no part of the assembly is capable of generating a spark which could ignite a flame.  ie: SELS will supply / manufacture cranes with anti sparking features to our customer’s requirements though will not certified them as sparkproof / explosion proof. Our cranes have been successfully supplied to customers in the offshore Oil and Gas industry in the UK on this basis.

Heavy Duty Stainless Folding Floor Crane / Workshop Crane

We offer 6 optional capacities including 250kg, 500kg, 750kg, 1 tonne, 1.5 tonne and 2 tonne. These stainless cranes are more costly than our standard mild steel painted units and all are made to order. Being completely manufactured here in the UK, we can modify the design to any special requirement that you may have; SWL or physical size.
Designed and manufactured in England this is a Space saving fold-away crane for use in environments that require the unique corrosion resistant properties of stainless steel; we sell stainless cranes mainly for use on offshore oil and gas platforms and pharmaceutical use. Most users would prefer stainless though the cost is much greater so the added benefit must be great enough to justify the additional cost. For example, when a crane is used offshore, reliability (through lack of corrosion) may mean that a crane is still in working order (as opposed to seized with rust) when needed for a production or safety critical breakdown. In this scenario 'down time' can be very expensive as can shipping in a replacement crane. Another good example where the cost can easily be justified would be where a mild steel crane could cause contamination, for example, by flaking paint or rust and contaminating a process in the pharmaceutical or food production industries, possibly affecting human health.
We can supply our stainless cranes with anti sparking features for use in sparkproof or ATEX environments, we offer bronze bushing, bronze load hook, bronze pivot pins etc and anti static Castor's or any other anti-sparking feature specified by the client.
