Spark-Proof Casters: Munitions and Hazardous Handling Safety.

When you’re moving live ordnance, one stray spark can mean catastrophe.

In environments like ammunition depots, munitions assembly lines, missile integration facilities, or demilitarization sites, safety is priority one. That’s where spark-proof casters from Aerol step in. They’re precision-engineered, military-grade safety components designed to terminate ignition risks in the most volatile and regulated environments.

Eliminating Ignition Risks in Volatile Environments

Moving explosive materials is more than moving heavy loads—it’s about strict control of environmental hazards. Friction from steel wheels on concrete, electrostatic discharge (ESD) buildup, or accidental metal-on-metal impact can all become ignition sources in high-risk zones. Facilities dealing with artillery shells, missile components, or explosive canisters must eliminate every one of these variables.

Typical casters, even heavy-duty ones, aren’t engineered with these hazards in mind. That’s where Aerol comes in. Aerol spark-proof casters are built using non-ferrous metals and conductive rubber treads that dissipate static. Combined with sealed components and non-sparking fasteners, they provide the control and peace of mind that explosive ordnance operations demand. In addition, our explosion-proof casters also comply with MIL-STD, OSHA, and hazardous material handling codes.

Why It Matters: Compliance, Conductivity, and Operational Continuity

A single spark can cause loss of life, shut down an entire munitions line, or fail a compliance audit. Aerol sparkproof casters help defense contractors and military logistics professionals meet:

• MIL-STD and OSHA safety mandates

• Hazardous material handling protocols

• NFPA 77 and MIL-STD-1686 ESD standards
  
  That’s why Aerol’s spark-proof casters are trusted across defense and aerospace operations—because they’re engineered with these exact concerns in mind. This isn’t off-the-shelf hardware. It’s military-grade engineering that integrates seamlessly with bomb carts, ammo trailers, missile cradles, and depot dollies used in high-risk zones.

Custom-Engineered to Your Facility’s Needs

Every facility is different. Whether deployed in shipboard environments or climate-controlled explosive munitions assembly zones, Aerol’s spark-proof casters deliver field-tested reliability with zero ignition incidents reported. You’ll find Aerol Explosion Proof Casters in active use across:

• • Air Force missile assembly sites

  • Navy weapons handling platforms

  • Army demilitarization and UXO programs

  • Defense contractor assembly lines

What’s more, our Spark proof casters handle load capacities up to 35,000 lbs. per caster and offer shock and vibration resistance compliant with MIL-STD-810. And they feature conductive wheel systems tested to NFPA 77 and MIL-STD-1686, with sealed hubs to eliminate ingress points for conductive debris.

Trusted in the Field

Aerol’s casters are trusted across defense depots, munitions plants, and aerospace production lines for one reason: they work when failure isn’t an option.

If your operation handles explosive materials, don’t risk using off-the-shelf components. Aerol’s engineered spark-proof mobility systems are ready to meet your unique application requirements—compliantly and confidently.
