Tiger XTGS/XTGT ATEX Geared Trolley (Single & Twin Bar) – 0.5t-35t WLL

Description

ATEX Spark Resistant Geared Trolley for Hazardous Environments

The Tiger ATEX Spark Resistant Geared Beam Trolley XTGS / XTGT from Tiger Lifting is purpose-built for safe and precise load handling in explosive and hazardous environments. Designed in accordance with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, this explosion proof trolley is suitable for use in Zone 1 & 2 (gas) and Zone 21 & 22 (dust) areas.

Ideal for oil & gas, petrochemical, offshore, chemical processing, and energy sectors, this trolley provides maximum operational safety while maintaining precise load control.

Spark Resistant Construction for Explosion Protection

To minimise ignition risk, the trolley is constructed using spark resistant materials, including:

• Solid bronze trolley wheels to reduce friction-related sparking
• Copper-plated hand chain wheel and key components
• Special corrosion-protected body for added durability

These features significantly reduce the risk of sparks during operation, making the trolley suitable for environments where flammable gases, vapours, or dust are present.

Precision Load Control with Geared Travel

Equipped with a hand chain drive system, the ATEX geared trolley allows operators to move loads smoothly and with precision, eliminating the need for manual pushing.

This is especially beneficial for:

• Accurate load positioning in hazardous zones
• Handling heavy loads safely with minimal effort
• Maintaining operator control in restricted or sensitive environments

The geared mechanism ensures consistent, controlled horizontal movement, even under full load.

TGS & TGT Configurations for Flexible Applications

The range is available in two configurations:

• TGS (Single Bar Geared Trolley): Compact design for lighter to medium-duty lifting
• TGT (Twin Bar Geared Trolley): Heavy-duty configuration offering improved stability and load distribution

With adjustable beam widths and bespoke configuration options available, the trolley can be tailored to suit a wide variety of beam profiles and installation requirements.

Smooth Operation with Reduced Maintenance

The trolley is fitted with sealed precision bearings, ensuring smooth rolling performance with minimal maintenance requirements. The convex wheel profile reduces point loading, protecting both the beam and wheels from excessive wear.

Combined with universal wheel compatibility, the trolley operates efficiently on both flat and tapered flange beams, maximising versatility across different industrial settings.

Advanced Safety Features for Critical Applications

Safety is essential in hazardous environments. Each trolley includes anti-drop plates, preventing derailment and protecting wheels when contacting beam end stops.

A 5:1 safety factor ensures safe use with both manual and powered hoists. An optional beam locking device is available to secure the trolley during lifting operations, providing additional stability.

All units are supplied with full certification, including a test certificate or EC Declaration of Conformity, confirming compliance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and ATEX requirements.

Engineered for Extreme Conditions

The ATEX spark resistant trolley operates within a temperature range of –40°C to +80°C, with an optional extension to –60°C, making it suitable for extreme industrial environments, including offshore and exposed installations.

Ideal for Hazardous Area Lifting Applications

This explosion proof geared trolley is widely used in industries where safety in explosive atmospheres is critical, including:

• Oil & gas and petrochemical plants
• Chemical processing facilities
• Offshore and marine environments
• Energy and power generation
• Grain handling and dust-explosion risk areas

Its combination of ATEX compliance, precision control, and rugged construction makes it an essential component in hazardous area lifting systems.
