Stöcklin manufactures explosion-proof industrial trucks for South Korea.

In designing the industrial trucks, Stöcklin considers not only the international IECEx system but also the South Korean KOSHA requirements. This ensures that the devices intended for export not only meet the operational requirements of the customer but also comply with the regulations relevant to the target market.

The requirements for explosion protection affect both the constructive design of the vehicles and compliance with the respective certification regulations. The current order for South Korea therefore requires consideration of both international and country-specific regulations already during manufacturing.

Modular Construction for Different Operating Conditions

Explosion-proof industrial trucks are used, among other places, in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, paint production, petrochemicals, and in operations with areas at risk of dust explosions. The specific vehicle configuration depends on the transported goods, the load carriers used, and the conditions at the respective location.

Stöcklin relies on a modular construction for its vehicles, allowing customer-specific requirements to be integrated into series production. These include, for example, special fork dimensions and individually designed load handling.

Development and Manufacturing at the Laufen Site

The development and production of explosion-protected industrial trucks take place at the Laufen Technology Center. There, the company consolidates development, in-house manufacturing, workshop, and service management.

The manufacturer's experience with explosion-protected vehicles is incorporated into both the design and the consideration of international certification requirements. This particularly concerns orders for markets where national approval regulations apply in addition to international standards.
