Explosion-Proof Trolleys

FULLY CUSTOMIZED MOTORIZED TROLLEYS for EX areas

Morello designs and manufactures explosion-proof trolleys compliant with ATEX, IECEx, and NEC UL 583 standards for Class 1 & 2, Division 1 & 2 environments. These transporters are engineered for industrial areas where explosion risks must be carefully managed and where safe movement of heavy equipment is essential.

In high-risk environments, explosion-proof material handling requires equipment designed around the specific operating zone, load characteristics and safety requirements. Morello provides motorized trolleys and EX-certified trucks for confined spaces, offshore platforms, onshore plants, paint booths and other demanding industrial settings.

SAFE HANDLING of heavy equipment in hazardous zones

Offshore platforms, vessels and industrial facilities often require the movement of large components such as engines, heat exchangers and other heavy equipment in areas where cranes cannot operate. In these conditions, a hazardous environment trolley can provide a safe and efficient alternative for controlled transport.

Every solution is custom-built according to the application, helping operators manage heavy loads in confined, complex or high-risk layouts while maintaining compliance with the required safety standards.

MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY in confined spaces

In the tight layouts of offshore platforms and ships, maneuverability is critical. Morello’s explosion-proof trolleys can feature an omnidirectional steering system that allows for:

• carousel rotation, rotating around their own center
• lateral movement, with 90° side travel
• diagonal movement
• other advanced steering modes.

These steering options help operators move heavy components with precision, even when available space is limited.

CERTIFIED SAFETY for high-risk operations

Every trolley is equipped with explosion-proof components certified for the required operational zones, including Class 1 and 2, Division 1 and 2, Zone 1 and 2, gas and dust environments.

When requested, all necessary certification documentation is provided, ensuring compliance with applicable international safety standards. Morello’s explosion-proof carts are developed to support safe operation where standard equipment cannot be used.

Built for OPERATING CONDITIONS

Designed for durability in extreme environments, our explosion-proof trolleys can feature:

• fully waterproof structures
• electrical components protected to IP69 standards
• optional stainless steel construction
• specialized painting cycles to withstand corrosion, salt, humidity, and temperature variations.

These features make the equipment suitable for harsh operating conditions where reliability, protection and long-term performance are essential.

KEY SECTORS for explosion-proof trolley applications

Explosion-proof trolleys are particularly important in the oil & gas industry, where offshore platforms, FPSO/FLNG vessels, refineries and onshore plants may require the safe movement of heavy equipment in classified areas.

They are also used in chemical plants and paint booths, where gas, vapors or flammable substances can create hazardous working conditions. In these environments, EX-certified handling systems help reduce operational risks while supporting production and maintenance activities.

Mining applications can also require explosion-proof configurations, especially where dust, confined spaces or challenging site conditions make safety and equipment reliability critical. In each sector, the trolley is developed according to the classification area, load type, available space and required control system.

TAILORED to your application

Every offshore platform, vessel, and industrial facility presents unique challenges. Morello’s EX-certified trolleys are fully customizable to meet specific requirements, including:

• overall dimensions
• speed and incline capability
• wheel types
• structural adaptations
• safety devices and control technologies.

Morello provides expert guidance at every step, from initial consultation to final delivery, ensuring each customer receives a safe, efficient, and suitable solution for the application.
