ATEX hoists from PLANETA: Maximum safety for potentially explosive areas

In potentially explosive areas where flammable vapors, liquids or dusts are present, special measurements are required to guarantee safe working conditions. PLANETA offers you high-quality explosion-proof hoists that have been developed in accordance with the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU. You can rely on our expertise and experience in the manufacture of safe and reliable ATEX hoists.

Excellent safety standards in accordance with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU

Since 01.07.2003, PLANETA, as a hoist and cable winch manufacturer, has been obliged to manufacture all hoists offered in accordance with the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.
