Certified EX protection solutions

Our smart modular system offers certified EX protection devices (in accordance with IECEx, ATEX and KOSHA) for safe use in hazardous areas with an explosion risk.

Certified - Robust - Safe

Selecting the right EX protection devices 

Our certified EX-protected forklift trucks are used wherever explosive substances are manufactured, processed, transported and/or stored and where there is a potentially explosive atmosphere. We design EX protection solutions precisely according to your specific requirements and needs - and manufacture them in-house at our Technology Center in Laufen. We are happy to integrate your periphery-critical applications and attachments such as sideshifters, drum tippers or feed forks, provided they have the necessary certificates. Our employees have decades of experience and EX protection expertise - and will also be happy to provide your employees with competent and comprehensive advice and training for your EX protection requirements.

Including an integrated energy management system suitable for explosion protection

EX protection expertise and intelligent, flexible and certified solutions are also required for batteries in such explosive atmospheres. Our patented LiFePO4 "LiTEx" battery with integrated energy management system is suitable for Zone 1/21 and Zone 2/22 and can be easily recharged in these zones as well as in normal, non-explosive zones. With the help of an ATEX-certified, pressurized charger, both the time-consuming, complicated battery change outside the zones and outgassing are eliminated. This saves the high costs of a separate battery charging room with extraction.

Our requested explosion protection solutions are always very individual and special.

LiTex - Lithium Ex battery

Unique - Patented - Consistently EX-capable

The world's first and patented lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO₄) for use in potentially explosive atmospheres - certified for ATEX zones 1/21 and 2/22. The pressurized encapsulated design and integrated energy management system ensure maximum operational safety and efficiency - even under extreme conditions.

A particular advantage: intermediate charging is possible directly in the Ex zone - with the pressurized charger, which is also ATEX-certified. This eliminates time-consuming charging changes outside the zone, which noticeably speeds up processes.

Rethinking - process reliability - cost efficiency

For safe and time-saving intermediate charging directly in Zone 1/21 hazardous areas. Thanks to the pressurized design (Ex-p), battery replacement outside the Ex zone is no longer necessary - a clear advantage for operational safety, process stability and efficiency.

In addition, the usual requirements for separate charging rooms with extraction are no longer necessary, which significantly reduces investment and operating costs.
