Ingersoll Rand® is proud to introduce a new addition to our Kinetic Manual Hoist line – The KMX Series.  The KMX series has been re-engineered to meet the stringent standards for spark resistance according to the European Explosion Protection Regulation, or ATEX.  In addition to spark resistance, we added a new level of corrosion resistance providing the ultimate hoist for tough and potentially hazardous environments.  See below for product highlights:
