H Class Vacuums otherwise known as Dust Class "H" (High) dust extractors, tackle high hazardous dust, filtering out 99.997% of all dust that is extracted. The air that passes through this system is cleared of the finest dust particles. If you are dealing with MDF or asbestos dust, which is particularly harmful due to its fine nature, then this is the extractor class you will need.
The HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters you find on H Class vacuum extractors are considerably more effective than the filters on L and M Class extractors and collect 99.997% of the dust passing through them.
H Class vacuums are the highest-rated dust extractors for high hazardous materials in the UK. Required on sites dealing with asbestos, silica, and other high-risk, toxic & carcinogenic dusts, these extractors capture at least 99.995% of particles thanks to advanced HEPA filtration. For contractors, workshops, and industrial environments, H Class dust extractors are essential for HSE compliance and worker safety.
Protect Your Health with High-Performance H Class Vacuums
When it comes to handling hazardous dust, nothing is more critical than using the right equipment. Our H Class Vacuums, H Class Dust Extractors, and H Class Hoovers are designed to provide superior protection against the most dangerous dust types, including carcinogenic materials like crystalline silica and asbestos. These high-efficiency vacuums meet stringent safety standards, ensuring that even the finest particles are captured, keeping both your workspace and your lungs safe.
Why Choose an H Class Dust Extractor?
H Class dust extractors are specifically engineered to handle respirable dust—particles as small as 4.25 microns (PM4) and below. This includes submicron particles (PM1), which are the most hazardous as they can penetrate deep into the lungs, reaching the alveoli where gas exchange occurs. Long-term exposure to these particles can cause severe respiratory conditions, including asthma, silicosis, and even lung cancer. Our H Class vacuums provide maximum filtration efficiency, significantly reducing your exposure to these harmful dust particles.
Ideal for Industrial and Construction Environments
Whether you’re working in construction, engineering, or industrial settings, our H Class Hoovers are built to withstand harsh environments. They feature rugged, durable designs with reinforced frames and sealed electronics to ensure longevity. These vacuums come equipped with explosion relief panels to prevent combustion in environments where combustible dust, like aluminum or flour, poses a risk.
Advanced Filtration for Maximum Safety
Our H Class dust extractors are fitted with HEPA filters that capture at least 99.995% of dust particles, including carcinogenic dust like silica and asbestos. This level of filtration is essential for meeting health and safety regulations on job sites where dust exposure can lead to serious health risks.
Some Key Features of Our H Class Vacuum Ranges:
-
High-Efficiency HEPA Filtration: Captures even the smallest dust particles (PM1 and below).
-

Stay Safe with H Class Vacuums
Choosing the right H Class dust extractor isn’t just about compliance—it’s about protecting yourself and your team from the hidden dangers of dust exposure. Invest in the best with our range of H Class vacuums, and ensure your workspace is safe, clean, and compliant.
What is an H Class vacuum?
H Class vacuums, also known as Dust Class “H” extractors, are designed to tackle high-hazard dusts such as asbestos, silica, and toxic wood dust. They filter at least 99.995% of dust particles and are the highest-rated extractors for hazardous materials in the UK.
How is an H Class vacuum different from L and M Class?
-
L Class – Filters >95% of dust; for low-toxicity dusts.
-
M Class – Filters >99.9% of dust; required for medium-hazard dusts like silica and wood.
-
H Class – Filters >99.995% of dust; essential for high-hazard, toxic, and carcinogenic dusts such as asbestos.
Do I need an H Class vacuum for asbestos?
Yes. H Class vacuums are legally required for asbestos dust. They are the only classification suitable for carcinogenic dusts under UK HSE regulations.
Are H Class vacuums HSE compliant?
Yes. H Class vacuums meet the strictest HSE standard for dust extraction. They are mandatory on UK sites dealing with asbestos, silica, and other toxic dusts.
What health risks do H Class vacuums protect against?
By capturing the finest respirable particles (PM4 and below), H Class vacuums reduce exposure to conditions such as asthma, silicosis, COPD, mesothelioma, and lung cancer.
