Explosion risks explained

Safety specialist Pyroban has launched a ‘microsite’ to explain the dangers of using forklift trucks in Zone 2 hazardous areas and to demonstrate how to protect workers and premises from the risk of explosion. system6000.pyroban.com, features real-time 3D animation showing what happens to a forklift truck when it is converted by Pyroban with system6000 explosion proof technology.

Interactive 3D animations of a reach truck and a diesel counterbalance forklift truck reveal key elements of system6000 and the technologies that help prevent an explosion including gas detection. The animation helps explain various explosion protection methods such as restricted breathing enclosures, stainless steel cladding of forks and surface temperature cooling to ensure the engine, motors, brakes, electrics and other components remain below the auto-ignition temperatures of flammable materials.
