ATEX Certification
If your forklift attachment or material handling equipment is to be used in a potentially hazardous or explosive atmosphere, they must be ATEX certified (EU directive 94/9/CE, also known as the ATEX directive).
We can help!
Why We Need ATEX
The directive exists to ensure that the equipment won’t cause an explosion during routine operation, with hazardous areas comprising a potentially explosive mix of air, dust, clouds, and flammable gases.
With a growing portfolio of ATEX approved products ranging from Zone 0 to Zone 22, from forklift drum handlers to fork extensions, our ATEX products are manufactured using spark-proof stainless steel and come fully certified to comply with stringent regulations.
Our ATEX Attachments Are:
- Manufactured entirely from spark-proof stainless steel
- Come ‘CE’ marked
- Fully certificated to comply with the ATEX directive
- Includes the distinctive ATEX logo
