How will you use this hoist?
Pick the closest match. Each duty class has its own capacity envelope: the heavier the use, the lower the rated weight. Selecting a class lighter than your real-world use voids the manufacturer warranty and risks motor failure. If unsure, pick the highest expected class — the hoist you actually need.
Save your configuration
Get a shareable link, email the PDF to yourself, and we will save the configuration on our side. We confirm your e-mail address with a short code before anything is sent.
Reset configuration?
All option selections (duty class, capacity, lift speed, trolley, options…) will return to their defaults. Your current quantity and delivery address will be kept. This cannot be undone.

The GIS GP ATEX is the explosion-proof execution of the proven GIS GP electric chain hoist for hazardous areas as defined by directive 2014/34/EU. Choose the dust-proof GP D model for Zone 22 (flammable dusts) or the gas-proof GP G model for Zone 2 (explosive gas atmospheres, includes Zone 22 dust protection). Every hoist ships with the EC declaration of conformity, the ATEX annex to the operating instructions and an inspection pass.
Key features
- Certified to the ATEX directive 2014/34/EU with EC declaration of conformity — equipment group II, category 3
- Dust-proof GP D for Zone 22: II 3D Ex tc IIIA T130 °C Dc — IP65 housing, Klixon temperature surveillance, geared limit switch and Ex cable glands, black covers
- Gas-proof GP G for Zone 2 (and 22): additionally II 3G Ex pzc IIA T3 Gc — 0.4 bar overpressure inside the housing prevents gases, vapours or mists from entering; pressure monitoring cuts the control voltage instantly on air loss
- Gas-proof version requires an on-site compressed-air supply of 4–10 bar (pluggable 6 mm hose connection)
- Full GIS GP capacity range 100–6300 kg (GP250 to GP2500 frames), lift heights 3–60 m, duty classes M3–M7
- Manual (GHF) or motorised (GMF) trolley — the motorised trolley is supplied in the same ATEX execution as the hoist with shared overpressure monitoring on the gas version
- ATEX-certified control pendant (2- or 4-button with emergency stop); the GIS standard IP65 pendant remains sufficient for many Zone 22 dust applications
- Safety radio remote control available for the dust-proof version
- Options: second brake, external limit switches, hook suspension, operating data counter, special voltages, CSA/CUS execution
- Complies with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC

Configure capacity, lift height, duty class, speed profile, ATEX protection level, trolley and options online, then add the hoist to the cart or quote list. Every configuration is priced from the current GIS factory price list.
What it is for
- Electric hoist for repeated lifting at workstations, on jib/gantry cranes and monorails.
- Production lines, assembly, maintenance with frequent cycles.
- Machine building integration.
This model
Pneumatic/ATEX: explosive, wet or dusty areas; needs compressed air.
Check before you choose
- WLL and duty class for the real cycle rate
- Lift height and hook path
- Speed and dual-speed for fine positioning
- Trolley (manual/electric) and beam profile
- Voltage and control (42 V low-voltage pendant, radio)
- Environment: dust, moisture, temperature
Not suitable for
- Pallets on the floor
- Explosive atmospheres — use pneumatic ATEX hoists
- Outdoor without protection class
Before you order Project product — the final configuration is confirmed by our technical team before the order.
To confirm the right configuration we will ask you:
- Official ATEX zone classification: gas or dust, group, temperature class, required category/EPL, ambient temperature? 'ATEX' is not a specification. Without an official zone classification no equipment should be selected automatically.
- Heaviest load and how often per hour / per day? Duty class (FEM/ISO) must match the cycle rate or the hoist overheats and wears fast. WLL alone never decides the model.
- Lift height (hook path) and headroom available between beam/hook and the load? Chain length must cover the hook path; hoist + trolley + hook height must fit the headroom, measured on the whole assembly.
- Is there a certified suspension point: beam, jib crane, gantry, runway? Beam profile (IPE/HEA/HEB) and flange width/thickness? Without a suspension point the hoist cannot be used; the trolley must fit the flange and the beam must carry the load.
- Power available: 3×400 V, 230 V, frequency; or compressed air (pressure and flow at the hoist)? Decides electric vs. pneumatic; single-phase limits capacity; air pressure at the compressor is not pressure at the hoist.
Typical mistakes to avoid
- Writing 'ATEX' is not enough — the whole installation (hoist, trolley, control, cable) must match the classified zone.

Duty classes M3–M7 shift the rated capacity envelope exactly as on the standard GP hoist (e.g. GP 2500/2B carries 6300 kg at M4); the heavy-duty B profiles remain available on the GP 2500 frame. Dust-proof (D) execution: II 3D Ex tc IIIA T130 °C Dc. Gas-proof (G) execution adds II 3G Ex pzc IIA T3 Gc and requires 4–10 bar compressed air on site. Klixon temperature surveillance, geared limit switch, Ex cable glands and IP65 are standard on both executions.
