The STAHL CraneSystems GmbH is regarded as a specialist for explosion protection world-wide. With our experience and our know-how from many decades, our own fundamental research and our own R&D, with approvals from the Federal Physico-Technical Institute (PTB) and other test institutes in many countries, STAHL CraneSystems occupies a special position in this field. All components of a crane or hoist are strictly from our own production, from motor and brake to control and switchgear. This ensures optimum, high-quality explosion protection. The new rigorous ATEX regulations on mechanical explosion protection are of course met. STAHL CraneSystems was the first manufacturer of overhead material flow technology to implement the ATEX 100a directive 94/9 in its production programme.
