What Is an Explosion Proof Scissor Lift？
An explosion-proof scissor lift is a safety-certified aerial work platform designed for use in flammable and explosive environments. It incorporates explosion-proof features into the standard scissor lift design, effectively mitigating risks from sparks, overheating, and static electricity during operation.
Compared to standard scissor lifts, explosion-proof models are better suited for hazardous areas such as Zone 1/Zone 2 or Zone 21/Zone 22. Consequently, they are commonly used for indoor maintenance and installation tasks in industries like chemical processing, energy, and pharmaceuticals.
- Scissor-type explosion-proof aerial work platforms are available in engine-driven and battery-powered variants. Mast-type explosion-proof aerial work platforms come in self-propelled and mobile configurations.
- Featuring high load capacity, flexible operation, and reliable safety.
- Scissor lift platforms utilize batteries as their power source. They feature energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, and noise-free operation. With maximum working heights ranging from 5.9m to 22m, they are suitable for indoor elevated work environments on level surfaces.
- Mobile mast lift platforms offer maximum working heights from 6m to 16m. They are ideal for elevated work environments in pharmaceutical, chemical, military, and airport settings.
