pyroban stuff has all sorts of rules and regs you need to work to or you could blow up something or someone or yourself

i have to agree with you on that Kevin, its just my manager says any engineer who is compitent can work on pyroban'd trucks , but i heared its a legal requirement that you must be pyroband trained.

Just for information to help us folks across the pond .....  but what is a pyroband truck?

I have been to 3 county fairs and two goat roping contests and ain't never heard of them.  And I have been shaving for 50 years.

Thanks much

it is a forklift that has been modified (in this case by Pyroban) to be some version of explosion proof. there are several zone and level ratings and some actually have gas sensing systems that proactively shut down the the unit when the contamination rate is too high. i am sure there are more but i am aware of two companies that provide this service  "Pyroban" and in Holland "Mitrex". i have had some dealings with Mitrex and they are very helpful in support of their product. i do not know if any of these systems meet U.S. "UL" standards but these conversions are a viable option for the offshore petro industry and are becoming more popular every day.

there are plenty adverts for Pyroban on the website . some of the older stuff was a nightmare but the latest modifications they do are very good , a lot more user friendly maybe the best way to put it

It is indeed a legal requirement for an engineer who aims at working on a forklift. If the forklift has been maintained or modified by a non trained engineer, the ATEX certificate loses its value and the compliance to the ATEX directive is in danger.

Other companies, like Airmeex for which I work, offer such training as well as ATEX products.

I would surgest your your manager obtains a copy of BSEN60079:17-2007 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHEREs. He will find that all mobile equpiment should be inspected every 12 months to comply with ATEX and DSEAR It also states that a compitant person should carry this work out and the the compitance should be proven by suitable traning and experiance. So unless you are trained to work on Ex eqipment and and fully experianced not only on a standard FLT but EX equipment the dont touch it, its your name on the paperwork not your managers and it not his life your are putting at risk.
