From June 9th to 11th, the 2026 China International Petroleum & Chemical Technology and Equipment Exhibition (cippe Zhenwei Petrochemical Exhibition) was held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Novocrane showcased its newly launched 1.6-ton explosion-proof chain hoist, providing a safety solution for high-risk lifting operations in the petrochemical industry.

The petroleum refining, oil and gas extraction, and chemical storage industries are filled with flammable and explosive media, which places stringent requirements on the explosion-proof performance of lifting equipment—even a tiny spark could lead to catastrophic consequences. Safe and reliable explosion-proof lifting equipment has become an essential requirement for these industries.

The 1.6-ton explosion-proof chain hoist showcased here is a newly upgraded product from Novocrane in 2026. Its core features include:

Complete explosion-proof sealed structure: Electrical components are designed with explosion-proof features, achieving an explosion-proof rating of Ex d IIC T4, suitable for Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas, mitigating the risk of electrical sparks at the source.

High-strength corrosion-resistant chain: The load-bearing chain and hook are forged from special alloy steel with anti-corrosion surface treatment, adapting to harsh conditions such as high humidity and salt spray.

Sensitive braking system: Rapid braking response and smooth start-stop, avoiding the risk of impact loads.

Compact body: Compact structure and lightweight, facilitating installation in limited spaces and routine maintenance.

Exhibition Highlights

During the exhibition, the Novocrane technical team provided one-on-one explanations of product explosion-proof processes and customized solutions, attracting numerous purchasing managers from oil and gas and chemical companies to stop and discuss their needs. Several refining and chemical enterprises expressed strong interest in the new products. For many years, Novocrane has been deeply involved in the explosion-proof lifting equipment market, refining its safety equipment through stringent quality control. This exhibition not only showcased Novocrane brand strength but also served as an important opportunity to deepen industry cooperation. In the future, Novocrane will continue to iterate its explosion-proof product portfolio to contribute to the high-quality development of safe production in the petrochemical industry.
