Description of explosion safe lifts on board of navy vessels
Thanks to our extensive knowledge of the precise rules and regulations governing the challenging environment on board of navy vessels,
Goodlift marine Projects B.V. stands out as one of the very few companies capable of conceiving,
fabricating and installing good lifts, passenger lifts, dumbwaiters and small goods lifts designed for use in hazardous areas. These hazardous areas may arise from the presence
of ammunition, gases, vapours, or dust, and we offer solutions tailored each of these hazard types.
- Design, construction and installation of lifts for use in a explosion hazardous environment
- Solutions for gasses, liquors and vapours
- Traction lifts: load 300 – 5000kg
- Hydraulic lifts: load up to 10.000kg
- Hoisting platforms: load up to 20.000kg
- Use of steel hoist way construction
Everything about Explosion safe lifts on board of navy vessels
More information
An explosion-safe lift, also known as an explosion-proof lift or hazardous area lift, is a specialized type of elevator designed and constructed to operate safely in environments where there is a risk of explosive atmospheres. These explosive atmospheres can result from the presence of ammunition, flammable gases, vapours, dust, or combustible materials, which, when combined with an ignition source (such as electrical equipment or sparks), can lead to a potentially catastrophic explosion.
Sealed Design: Explosion-safe lifts are constructed with sealed or encapsulated components, including motors, wiring, and control systems, to prevent the release of sparks, heat, or electrical arcs that could ignite flammable substances.
Non-Sparking Materials: The materials used in the construction of explosion-safe lifts are carefully selected to minimize the risk of sparking. For example, non-sparking metals like stainless steel may be used.
Dust Protection: In environments with combustible dust, explosion-safe lifts incorporate measures to prevent the buildup of dust within the elevator shaft and machinery, reducing the risk of ignition.
Ventilation and Pressure Relief: Some explosion-safe lifts include ventilation systems and pressure relief mechanisms to safely dissipate any explosive gases or pressures that may accumulate within the elevator shaft.
Compliance with Standards: Explosion-safe lifts are designed and tested to comply with specific industry and safety standards, which can vary depending on the type of hazardous environment (e.g., ATEX directives in Europe).
Emergency Features: These lifts often feature emergency shutdown systems and safety interlocks to ensure the safety of passengers in the event of a hazardous condition.
Sealed Design: Explosion-safe lifts are constructed with sealed or encapsulated components, including motors, wiring, and control systems, to prevent the release of sparks, heat, or electrical arcs that could ignite flammable substances.
Explosion-safe lifts are commonly used in industries such as petrochemical, chemical manufacturing, mining, and grain handling, where the presence of explosive or combustible materials is a significant concern. They play a crucial role in ensuring safe vertical transportation in environments where standard lifts would pose a serious safety risk due to the potential for ignition and explosion.
