RE: paint booth classification
Interms of a lift table, some tables are hydralic and use either air controls or intrinsic saftey controls.
This would require the pump motor and lift ramps being connected thru hydralic hoses. (motors can be located in an unclassied area reducing costs)
Some paints will not tolerate any contamintes (even vapours of personal anti deodorants can reck the finish) and so a hydralic lift table would not be the answer.
If the lift table has have the electrical motors within the booth area. electrical connections can be made with either ridgit conduit or explosion proof cables and glands appoved for the area. And all the components within the lift table would have to be approved for the area classification.
