The OZSR005-10CH Spark Resistant Chain Hoist is engineered for safe and reliable lifting in hazardous or explosive environments, offering a 0.5-ton (1,000 lbs) lifting capacity with exceptional precision and safety. Designed to meet the strictest international safety regulations, this hoist is ideal for industries where explosive gases, vapors, or dust are present—such as petrochemical plants, refineries, paint shops, power generation facilities, and grain processing plants.

Built for spark resistance and explosion protection, the OZSR005-10CH complies with ATEX Directive 94/9/EC and Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, achieving an explosion-proof rating of EX II2 GD c IIIC T135°C. This makes it suitable for Zone 1 & 2 (gas) and Zone 21 & 22 (dust) environments, ensuring safe operation where traditional hoists would pose ignition risks. Every component is carefully selected to prevent spark generation during use, making it a dependable tool for environments where safety is paramount.

The hoist’s all-steel construction provides superior strength and long-term reliability under demanding conditions. Its bronze-coated hooks, stainless steel load chain, and non-sparking gears help minimize friction and the risk of ignition. The grade 80 stainless steel load chain ensures smooth, corrosion-resistant performance, while the fully enclosed gearing system offers efficient operation with minimal lifting effort.

A Weston-style mechanical brake with a twin pawl safety mechanism allows for precise load control and secure holding under load—preventing accidental slippage during lifting or lowering operations. This system ensures both operator safety and product integrity, even in extreme working conditions.

To enhance longevity and performance, the OZSR005-10CH features a durable powder-coated finish that resists corrosion, chemicals, and impact damage. Its ergonomic hand chain design allows for smooth, low-resistance operation, reducing operator fatigue during frequent use.

Each unit is thoroughly tested to meet ASME B30.16 and OSHA safety standards, giving users complete confidence in performance and compliance.
