SODILEVE has installed a Verlinde VX electric chain hoist at an undisclosed client facility. The hoist has been supplied in an ATEX-certified version for use in environments where explosive gases or dust may be present.

The 2,000kg-capacity chain hoist has been mounted on an existing monorail and is powered through a Conductix-Wampfler cable carrier that is also certified to ATEX standards. The setup was selected to meet safety requirements for the client’s handling operations.

SODILEVE worked with MECA CONTROLE during the equipment commissioning and acceptance process. The company said the project covered the solution from the initial design stage through to final commissioning, with a focus on reliable and precise handling during daily operations.
