FOR OVER 30 YEARS, WE HAVE BEEN DEDICATED TO SAFEGUARDING WHAT MATTERS MOST – YOU!

Even prior to releasing our first EX-rated vehicles in 1991, ensuring your safety has always been our standard. Our unwavering commitment to your safety is our team’s compass to identify and implement today’s most trusted industry practices and products into RICO manufactured explosion proof vehicles. The standards by which we design, manufacture, and maintain our EX-rated vehicles are in strict accordance with OSHA, NFPA, and UL requirements.

Our commitment also drives us to have our explosion proof products rigorously tested and scrutinized by recognized world leaders in risk management and loss prevention for approval that they meet the requirements and performance needed to ensure your safety. RICO Manufacturing uses a third-party nationally recognized testing laboratory (NRTL), Factory Mutual, to test and approve our EX-rated vehicles are safe for use in designated hazardous environments prior to releasing for sale to our customers.

All explosion proof products manufactured by RICO will carry the “EX” and “FM Approved” markings. These markings are confirmation that the vehicle delivered is approved and safe for use in the designated hazardous environments it is intended for. These markings are also confirmation of our commitment to safeguarding what matters most – You.
