Electric wire rope hoists zones 1, 2, 21 & 22 for loads from 800 to 80 000 kg

Overview

Market-leading compactness. ATEX-compliant lifting.

Designed for hazardous environments, Eurobloc VT Ex is an Ex-proof hoist complying with ATEX requirements for zones 1 and 2 (gas) and zones 21 and 22 (dust), supporting safer lifting operations where explosive atmospheres may occur. Eurobloc VT Ex, in its standard version, delivers one of the market-leading compactness with one of the best smallest hook approach dimensions, enabling better use of building height and work areas without compromising productivity. Suitable for many installations, Eurobloc VT Ex range offers fixed, normal, double girder, swivel trolley and machinery versions.

Innovation

Vertical Lift Innovation, ATEX-ready.

Born from Verlinde’s expertise, Eurobloc VT Ex, backed by 13 dedicated patents, is designed to raise the standard of performance — including in hazardous environments. It stands out in particular for its near-vertical lifting capability (minimizing lateral hook block displacement) and its standard adjustable travel speed, enabling smoother, more precise load handling. Together, these specificities help increase positioning accuracy, enhance operator comfort, and deliver greater control over movement, while supporting safer operations in potentially explosive atmospheres.
