Handling the hazardous
April 1st 2011 J D Neuhaus has a reputation for the
supply of safe, reliable, lowmaintenance
handling equipment
for chemical and other
industries with hazardous
environments. The major safety
factor of the JDN products,
including cranes, hoists and
winches, is that the equipment is
operated by compressed air (or
optionally hydraulics), rather than
electric power. Lifting equipment is
100% duty cycle rated, thus
eliminating downtime, and can be
remotely controlled using pendant
cable controllers, or wireless
hand-held radio operated units.
Equipment safety ratings for use
in potentially explosive conditions
are Ex II 2 GD IIA T4(X)/II 3 GD
IIB T4(X). Increased spark protection,
involving a galvanised copper plated
finish for the hoist bottom block
and load hook assembly, can
be supplied to achieve an Ex
II 2 GD IIB T4(X) rating.
Increased sparking protection,
for operation in explosions
group IIC, covers the supply
of bronze running wheels,
travelling gears and the hand gear
mechanisms of trolleys for a rating
of Ex II 2 GD IIC T4(X).
All units, including the larger
capacity JDN handling products
with lift capacities up to 115t, are
suitable for lube-free operation with
easy maintenance. More articles from J.D.Neuhaus Limited: |
