Ex-Certified Spark-Resistant Solutions for Hazardous Environments
When your operation demands reliable lifting in potentially explosive atmospheres, the Harrington TCE Air Hoist delivers performance, safety, and durability. Built for demanding industrial use, the TCE series is engineered to reduce or eliminate the risk of sparks from impact or friction - a critical requirement in oil and gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, and other sensitive applications.
Key Benefits & Features
