ATEX Lifting
Vacuum lifting support for ATEX and hazardous area applications where equipment specification, risk control and process safety matter.
ATEX Lifting for Hazardous Areas
Many sites include ATEX-rated areas, and H&S Lifting Solutions can design and manufacture vacuum and pneumatic lifting solutions for many hazardous environments.
Depending on the application, we can use ATEX-rated electric vacuum pumps or pneumatically powered vacuum pumps to create the vacuum, then manufacture a suitable vacuum lifter, electric hoist or pneumatic hoist for controlled raising and lowering.
Every ATEX-rated lifting system includes earth bonding, continuity testing and certification throughout the system.

ATEX Lifting FAQs
ATEX lifting refers to lifting equipment specified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, where flammable gas, vapour, mist or dust may be present. The exact equipment requirement depends on the site zone, process and risk assessment.
Yes, vacuum lifting can be considered for ATEX areas when the system is specified correctly for the environment. H&S Lifting Solutions can review the application and recommend a suitable lifting approach.
Pneumatic lifting is often considered for hazardous or restricted electrical environments because it can operate without a mains electrical lifting drive. The final specification still needs to match the ATEX zone and site requirements.
Useful details include the ATEX zone, product weight, product material, lifting frequency, travel distance, available services, working height and any site safety standards that must be followed.
