Explosion-proof electric hoists are divided into dust explosion-proof and gas explosion-proof types. Although they are both explosion-proof electric hoists, the levels of explosion protection are different, and the environments they are suitable for vary. The price of gas explosion-proof electric hoists is higher than that of dust explosion-proof electric hoists. Explosion-proof electric hoists are further classified into loop chain electric hoists and wire rope electric hoists. Explosion-proof electric hoists with a protection level of IP55: suitable for areas with flammable and explosive gases. Explosion-proof electric hoists with an explosion protection level of EXd II CT6 and a protection level of IP65: suitable for dusty environments. When choosing, it is important to make sure you understand these differences clearly.
