Drum handlers with spark resistant parts
are specialized drum handling equipment designed for use in hazardous
environments where there is a risk of fires or explosions caused by sparks or
static electricity.
These drum handlers are typically made from
materials that are non-sparking or spark-resistant, such as copper, brass,
aluminum, or stainless steel. These materials are selected for their ability to
dissipate static electricity or prevent sparking caused by metal-to-metal
contact.
Drum handlers with spark resistant parts
are used to safely transport and maneuver drums of flammable liquids or other
hazardous substances in areas where there are potential ignition hazards, such
as chemical plants, refineries, or other industrial facilities.
Examples of drum handlers with spark
resistant parts include:
- Drum grabbers or tongs with copper,
aluminum, or brass jaws to grip the drum without creating sparks
- Drum lifters or rotators with
non-sparking casters or wheels
- Drum cradles or dollies with stainless
steel construction
- Drum pourers or fillers with grounded
hoses or fittings
Using drum handlers with spark resistant
parts in hazardous environments is essential to prevent fires or explosions
that could result in injury or death, as well as damage to equipment and
facilities.
