Explosion Proof & Die-Handling Equipment


RICO's hazardous products division continues to be one of the leading manufacturers of explosion proof forklifts in the United States. Their EX-rated equipment sets the standard in confidence for those dealing in potentially hazardous environments.

Each truck is designed around operator visibility, friendly maintenance and outstanding parts/service support and uses construction techniques that reduce the risk of fire or explosion. These construction techniques typically involve rigid metal conduit or mineral insulated cable for all wiring; intrinsically safe electrical circuits; static conductive tires; brass or aluminum around the chassis and forks to protect against mechanical sparks; and explosion proof boxes for all electrical components.
