Product catalog summary
Introduction to ATEX: ATEX stands for 'ATmosphère EXplosible' and refers to the directive 2014/34/EU, which governs the marketing of explosion-proof electrical and mechanical equipment. It distinguishes between zones with explosive gases, vapors, or mists (zones 0, 1, 2) and dusts (zones 20, 21, 22).
Protection Features: The dust-proof ATEX version achieves protection through temperature surveillance (Klixon), IP65 protection class, and special cable glands. The gas-proof version (zone 22 and zone 2) uses a 0.4 bar overpressure to prevent gas entry, with an automatic shutdown in case of pressure drop.
Compliance and Documentation: The electric chain hoists and trolleys comply with directive 2014/34/EU, requiring an EC marking and declaration of conformity. Users must maintain an inspection pass documenting maintenance.
Product Specifications:
  • Gas Proof Version: Features include black covers, IP65 protection, temperature surveillance, geared limit switch, and pressure monitoring requiring a 4-10 bar compressed air supply.
  • Dust Proof Version: Similar features with black covers and logo, IP65 protection, and temperature surveillance.
Options and Accessories: Available options include ATEX control switches, various operating and control voltages, safety radio remote control, second brake, external limit switch, and corrosion-resistant versions.
Crane and Hoisting Systems: GIS offers a range of crane systems and hoisting equipment, including steel and aluminum crane systems, slewing cranes, and vacuum handling systems for various materials.
Company Overview: GIS AG, founded in 1957, specializes in electric chain hoists and crane systems, with over 55 years of experience. The company is ISO 9001 certified and has a global sales network.
