An explosion-proof forklift is a type of handling equipment specially designed for use in hazardous locations, classified according to its different functions and handling needs. Here are some common explosion-proof forklift models and classifications:
Electric explosion-proof forklift: With the battery or motor as the power source, the tires, transmission system, lead-acid battery box and other components are all equipped with explosion-proof measures, which are suitable for stacking operations in warehouses, freight yards, factories and other places.
Diesel explosion-proof forklift: With the diesel engine as the power source, its electrical system, oil supply system, instrument system, etc. have adopted explosion-proof measures, which are suitable for heavy loading, dock loading and unloading, railway freight and other fields.
Liquefied gas explosion-proof forklift: using liquefied petroleum gas as fuel, equipped with professionally manufactured gas cylinders and cylinder racks, mainly used for high-quality gas handling operations in petroleum, chemical and other places.
Manual Hydraulic Explosion-Proof Forklifts: Manual operation is required to lift and move goods, suitable for small locations or low-load handling tasks.
Self-propelled electric explosion-proof forklift: with automatic driving function, it can improve work efficiency and safety.
In addition, according to the explosion-proof level and requirements, explosion-proof forklifts can also be divided into intrinsically safe type, flameproof type, increased safety type, pouring type, non-sparking type, special type and other explosion-proof types.
The intrinsically safe type is limited by the energy of the circuit, and the sparks, arcs and temperatures generated are not enough to ignite the explosive gas, regardless of the normal or short-circuit fault state; The flameproof type is the use of isolation measures in the structure to isolate the electricity from the surrounding environment.
The specific model and classification of explosion-proof forklifts may vary depending on the manufacturer and the application scenario. When selecting and using explosion-proof forklifts, the appropriate model and classification should be selected according to the specific working environment and handling needs, and the relevant safety regulations and operating procedures should be strictly adhered to to ensure the safety of personnel and property.
