Wire Rope Hoist NOVAex – ATEX Zone Energy/Process Technology – 1×13t

A NOVAex wire rope hoist with a 13-ton capacity is used in an explosion-proof ATEX zone, mounted on an overhead crane in an industrial hall. The system is designed to the highest safety standards and meets the requirements for operation in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres, such as those caused by gases, vapors, or dust.

The crane solution is impressive due to its encapsulated electronics, protected drive units, and secure power supplies. Combined with a bright working environment and ergonomic controls, the hoist enables precise load handling, even in conditions with limited visibility or high safety demands.

This solution is ideal for the process industry, power plants, chemical operations, or technical facility operators who need to combine maximum operational safety with precise load handling.

ELECTRIC WIRE ROPE HOIST NOVAex

The NOVAex series for loads up to 80 t fulfills the highest European and international safety standards. Our products can be used in zones 1 and 2 for gas protection as well in zones 21 and 22 for dust protection.

NOVAex features a compact design, minimal hook dimensions and the best approach dimensions available on the market. Its extra-large diameter of the rope drum is gentle on the load-bearing rope. Plus, the breaks and the lubrication of the hoist gear are designed to last a lifetime.
