Cable Lockouts

When nothing purpose-made fits: a row of valves, a very large handwheel, a lever behind a guard, several breakers in one panel, or an awkward isolator. The cable loops through or around the parts, the body pulls it tight and locks it with up to four padlocks. The Adjustable Steel Cable Lockout, Style 1 with its 2.4 m cable covers most jobs; the Adjustable Steel Cable Lockout, Style 5 adds a thinner cable for small holes.

All our cables are steel; the coating is the difference. A nylon or PVC sheath, as on the Adjustable Steel Cable Lockout, Style 6, protects painted handles and keeps the cable from conducting to what it touches, so it is the choice around electrical panels. A bare stainless cable resists heat and chemicals better and suits outdoor valves and process plant.

Four on the standard bodies, which covers most teams. For a larger group, put a hasp through one of the holes, or lock the cable with a single padlock and manage the keys in a lockout box. The Adjustable Universal Steel Wire Lockout has a compact body that still takes four padlocks, and the cable can be shortened to the length the job needs.
