EE Forklift

Type EE forklifts’ motors and switches are enclosed to prevent sparks from escaping, while flexible leads are covered in looming or tubing. Although designed for use in environments where explosive or flammable materials are in sealed containers, Type EE forklifts do not protect against static discharges, explosive mixtures of gases or dusts, electrical system failures or auto ignition temperatures. There is a distinction between EE and EX forklifts: EE forklifts only have minimal spark protection and do not comply with electrical safety standards whereas EX forklifts meet higher standards.
