Spark Resistant feature for Electrolift Hoists
Electrolift offers spark resistant features including bronze trolley wheels, stainless steel cable and bronze hooks. While these features are considered order options, the need for spark resistance is never optional: If a small spark in the workplace will cause an explosion, then spark resistant features are a requirement.
