The RCB is specifically designed for use in petroleum, pharmaceutical, and food industries, or any application where the use of anti-sparking equipment is required. Be sure to look for the ATEX mark to know that your hoist meets the requirements for use in environments with combustible gases and dusts.
Harrington’s RCB hoists are manufactured with materials that will reduce risk of sparks produced by impact or friction in heavy-duty industrial applications. They are EX certified spark resistant and and comply with the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. ATEX is a multi-level technical standard mandatory in the European Economic Area (EEA) for using equipment in dust-laden or explosive environments.
The RCB comes standard with our stainless steel hand chain and nickel-plated load chain for resistance to spark.
From top to bottom, the RCB protects you with added safety features like the standard copper-plated bottom hook designed to resist sparks at the point of contact.
The RCB can be optionally paired with a push or geared trolley that is also equipped with spark-resistant features. Solid bronze trolley wheels are standard on models 2 Ton and lower and bronze-plated trolley wheels are standard on the 3 Ton model.
