FLAMEPROOFING

Chess Engineering has been involved in protection of equipment used in hazardous areas or flameproofing as it is commonly known since the early 1970’s. In this time, Chess has forged a distinct reputation for expertise, reliability and service in this field.

All phases of the flameproofing conversion are carried out in-house including design, manufacture, installation, duty cycle testing and after sales service. Certification testing, when required, is conducted by one of Australia’s three internationally accredited testing facilities.

Forklift trucks, tow tractors, sweepers, scissor lifts and boom lifts ranging from 1 ton to 32 ton have all been flameproofed. Both diesel and battery electric powered materials handling equipment can be flameproofed. Note that spark ignition engines i.e. LPG and Petrol are not permitted in any hazardous areas.

Industries served by Chess Flameproofed equipment include, ADI, off shore oil rigs, paint manufactures, petrochemical plants, pharmaceutical companies, munitions manufacturers, and food industry.

Chess Engineering has flameproofed forklifts for most major brands including:

Atlet Caterpillar Clark Combilift Crown Electrodrive Hyster Junghienrich Komatsu Linde Mitsubishi Nichiyu Nissan Raymond TCM Tennant Toyota Yale

In addition to flameproofing, Chess Engineering is increasing custom forklift attachments, engine protections systems, cabins as well as custom modifications and general forklift engineering.
