Flameproof Forklifts

Flameproofing can help ensure the safety of your forklift, as well as other equipment. This is done through additional protection to help prevent internal fires which could potentially begin in machine engines.

Not only does this help keep the machine from becoming too damaged, but it also reduces the danger that it could pose to operators.

If you like the idea of an even safer machine, capable of working in hazardous environments, Hitec have the answer: the Miretti Group. Miretti can carry out flameproofing and explosion proof conversions for both diesel and electric forklift trucks, as well as vehicles produced by numerous manufacturers.

They have been used by companies in at least 50 different countries worldwide. The converted vehicle functions in the same way as the standard vehicle and provides explosion proof protection.

TEMPERATURE MONITORING

Heat generated by equipment may cause gases and flammable materials to ignite or explode.

Therefore, its necessary to reduce the temperature of ATEX EX equipment to less than the specified value for operation in a potentially explosive atmosphere and to prevent any sparking from occurring.

Miretti Group’s ATEX EX Equipment has protection controls for motor surface temperature, fluid temperatures and brake temperatures.

EXPLOSION PROOF ENCLOSURES

Explosion Proof Enclosures protect all cabling, wiring, valves and electrical components, ignition system, and battery. An Explosion Proof Enclosure is a case or housing that has been tested and approved to contain electrical components or apparatus.

Although the joints of Explosion Proof enclosures will permit the entry of explosive vapours, the strength of the enclosures must contain any internal explosion.

The enclosures of Miretti Group’s ATEX EX Equipment have been hydrostatically tested for internal explosive resistance to pressures in excess of requirements without failure.

CASUAL FLAMEPROOF FORKLIFT HIRE

Both our diesel machines and electric forklift trucks have Zone 1 Miretti conversions and can be hired for short term or longer term periods. Approved by International Recognized Testing Laboratories, Miretti Group’s ATEX EX Equipment can be used in designated explosive and hazardous atmospheres.

If you’d like to hire flameproof forklift trucks, rest assured that Hitec offers models that comply with the very highest standards of safety and quality.

If your current machine is down or experiencing high usage in peak periods, our machines are readily available at short notice and highly certified. We also have qualified engineers on hand to service the machines whilst out on hire.
