About the Yale ATEX Uno Plus Ratchet Lever Hoist

The ATEX Uno plus lever hoist is suitable for use in environments where there is an explosion hazard.

This basic protection means certain materials must be incorporated into the hoist to prevent sparks from occurring and triggering explosions.  Explosion protection means the ability to prevent the occurrence of an explosive mixture (i.e. where two elements coming together can create an explosion) and also the ability to eliminate potential sources of ignition ( i.e. sparks).

There are a few various categories, zones and groups that ATEX ratings are broken down into, these show where they may or may not be used and what protection they have. The information will be marked on any ATEX rated product with a range of coded letters and numbers after the ATEX logo.

The Uno plus has the basic level of explosion protection  - Ɛꭓ - only II 3 GD c IIB T4 which means for non-mining purposes; category 3 – normal safety; protection from gas and dust particles; design safety explosion group IIB and temperatures up to 135 degrees C.
