OverviewATEX / UKEX-certified explosion-proof forked stacker designed for decanting and complete emptying of vessels and IBCs. The unit uses a pneumatic‑hydraulic lift powered by an airline to operate lift, lower and tilt functions. Controls are located on the rear panel with silicone-booted buttons; mandatory safety features include an emergency stop and hydraulic locking valves that secure the forks if the airline is disconnected.
Key product features- Forward-tilting stainless-steel-clad forks for efficient decanting and full emptying of containers and IBCs.
- Certified for hazardous gas (G) and dust (D) areas: Zones 1, 2, 21 and 22 (ATEX / UKEX).
- Pneumatic‑hydraulic lift system with simple airline connection and rear-panel controls; includes hydraulic locking for safety.
- Hot-rolled steel lifting channels to minimise chassis deflection and improve stability under load.
- Ackermann-style rear-wheel steering and heavy-duty nylon wheels with park brakes for controlled manoeuvring and static positioning.
More detailsThe stainless-steel cladding on the forks reduces the risk of spark generation during floor contact. If the airline is disconnected the hydraulic locks keep the forks secured and the load retained. The design enables operators to remove final material volumes from process vessels safely and with reduced manual handling.
Optional features- Electric‑hydraulic lift (STE07) for safe-area applications with onboard batteries.
- Power‑drive system (battery or pneumatic options) to assist movement over longer distances.
- Load-cell weighing system (ATEX / UKEX option) for accurate weighing of vessels and IBCs.
- Variable leg dimensions for customised integration with plant machinery or facility constraints.
