MANHEIM, Pa. — Harrington Hoists Inc. has introduced its new AS Series air hoists with stainless steel components. The AS series hoists are available in quarter- and half-ton capacities in pendant, cord or twist-rod control. Spark-resistant stainless steel components include load chain, top and bottom hooks, hook latches and hardware, making them suitable for many hazardous conditions.
These hoists are certified spark resistant — for explosive atmospheres requiring features that reduce the risk of spark — to ATEX level (Ex) II 2GD c T5 IIC T100°. The EU ATEX Directive is a stringent European safety standard for spark-resistant compliance in industrial hoists. Harrington recommends users contact a qualified person to determine ATEX requirements for specific applications.
