In certain industrial facilities, a breakdown of a forklift can become a particularly complex problem. When the equipment operates in an explosion risk area, it is not enough to replace it with any conventional machine: it is necessary to ensure that the forklift meets the technical and safety requirements of the environment in which it will operate.
This situation particularly affects sectors such as the chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, food, or paint and solvent industries, where flammable gases, vapours, or combustible dust may exist.
SEREMA, a company based in Rubí with four decades of experience in industrial handling machinery, has a dedicated fleet of ATEX forklifts and equipment for rent, allowing for more agile responses to certain urgent needs, always depending on availability and the required technical specifications.
Own fleet to respond to specific needs
Having ATEX equipment within a dedicated fleet can reduce waiting times when a company needs to temporarily replace a machine or reinforce its operational capacity.
Rental can be useful in very different situations: from an unexpected breakdown to a temporary increase in production, a specific campaign, or the need for additional machinery for a set period.
In these cases, having equipment already prepared for rental avoids relying solely on the purchase or preparation of new machinery and allows for a solution tailored to the conditions of each facility.
However, speed does not replace technical review. Before incorporating an ATEX forklift, it is necessary to assess aspects such as the classification of the work area, load capacity, operational characteristics, and specific environmental conditions.
More than rental: specialization and technical service
The availability of machinery is just one part of the service.
Working with ATEX equipment requires technical knowledge both to correctly select the machine and to carry out its maintenance and repair while respecting the safety conditions of such environments.
SEREMA combines the rental and sale of machinery with preventive maintenance services, repair, and technical assistance for forklifts, stackers, pallet trucks, and other handling equipment.
The company primarily works with CLARK, a brand for which SEREMA is an official distributor and one of the world reference manufacturers in the forklift and industrial handling sector, with over a century of experience.
Within this activity, specialization in ATEX machinery allows for addressing installations where the choice of equipment depends not only on its performance or capacity but also on the safety requirements associated with the area where it will be used.
A specialized platform for ATEX forklifts
In addition to its usual industrial machinery activities, SEREMA has a website specialized in this field.
Through Carretillas ATEX, companies can consult information about this type of equipment, its applications, and the various solutions available for industrial environments with potentially explosive atmospheres.
The platform also allows for specific needs related to rental, sale, maintenance, or adaptation of machinery to be raised.
Four decades in industrial handling
SEREMA has been operating from Rubí, where it works in the sale, rental, repair, and maintenance of machinery intended for load movement and industrial operations.
Over the course of four decades of experience, the company has incorporated solutions for increasingly specific needs, including equipment intended for ATEX zones.
In an industrial environment where an unexpected stoppage can affect the production pace, having certified machinery within a dedicated rental fleet allows for an alternative in the face of incidents or temporary needs, always after verifying that the selected equipment is suitable for each application.
