The OZSR005-15CH Spark Resistant Chain Hoist is specifically engineered for safe, dependable lifting in hazardous or explosive environments, delivering a 0.5-ton (1,000 lbs) capacity with exceptional precision, control, and durability. Designed to meet the strictest international safety and performance standards, this hoist is ideal for operations where explosive gases, vapors, or dust are present—such as in oil refineries, chemical processing plants, paint manufacturing, power generation, and food or grain storage facilities.

Built for spark resistance and explosion-proof protection, the OZSR005-15CH is fully compliant with the EU ATEX Directive 94/9/EC and Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. It meets the explosion-proof classification EX II2 GD c IIIC T135°C, making it suitable for use in Zone 1 & 2 (gas) and Zone 21 & 22 (dust) hazardous atmospheres. Each component is designed and constructed to minimize the risk of sparks or ignition, ensuring complete safety even in environments where flammable materials are present.

The hoist features all-steel construction for unmatched durability and resistance to wear. Its spark-resistant bronze-coated hooks, stainless steel load chain, and non-sparking gears provide a high level of protection while maintaining smooth, efficient operation. The grade 80 stainless steel chain resists corrosion and delivers consistent performance in challenging industrial conditions.

A Weston-style mechanical brake system with a twin pawl design ensures superior load control and holding power, giving operators peace of mind during critical lifts. This self-activating brake engages automatically under load, preventing slippage and enhancing safety. The fully enclosed gearing system protects internal components from dust, moisture, and contaminants, ensuring long-term reliability and minimal maintenance requirements.

The hoist’s ergonomic hand chain allows for smooth, low-resistance operation, reducing operator fatigue even during extended use. Finished with a durable powder coat, the OZSR005-15CH resists corrosion, impact, and chemical damage, making it ideal for long-term use in harsh industrial environments.
