Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about explosion-proof cranes, ATEX certification and hazardous-area lifting equipment.

What is an ex-proof crane?
An ex-proof crane (explosion-proof crane) is a lifting system specifically engineered to operate safely in hazardous areas where flammable gases, vapours or combustible dust may be present. Every electrical and mechanical component — motors, panels, hooks, wheels — uses non-sparking materials and certified flameproof enclosures that prevent ignition of the surrounding atmosphere.
What zones can Wimac ex-proof cranes operate in?
Our explosion-proof cranes cover all four hazardous zones: Zone 1 and Zone 2 (gas atmospheres) and Zone 21 and Zone 22 (dust atmospheres), with appropriate EPL ratings (Gb, Gc, Db, Dc) and protection concepts (Ex db, Ex eb, Ex tb, Ex tc).
What capacities are available?
Standard configurations include double girder crane trolleys up to 50 t, standard monorail hoists up to 10 t with 2 m fall, and low-headroom monorail hoists up to 12.5 t. Custom capacities are available on request.
Which certifications do Wimac ex-proof cranes carry?
Every Wimac ex-proof crane complies with EU Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX), holds IECEx certification, meets IEC 60079 standards, FEM regulations and relevant European safety standards (EN). Full certification documentation is provided with every delivery.
Do you export ex-proof cranes internationally?
Yes — Wimac exports explosion-proof cranes and components worldwide from our Konya, Turkey facility. Contact our export team at export@wimac.com.tr or +90 (332) 236 31 87 for international quotes.
Which industries use ex-proof cranes?
Typical industries include chemical & petrochemical, oil refineries, gas supply and LNG terminals, pharmaceutical manufacturing, wastewater treatment, distilleries, mining, paint shops, grain handling and other production plants where explosive atmospheres can occur.
