February 9, 2005—The new Brady Mini Cable Lockout offers the versatility of traditional cable lockouts, but is small enough to fit in the palm of ones hand. It is useful for electricians, contractors, mobile repair crews, and other workers on the move. The device is designed for tough industrial applications, with a 4-inch diameter body constructed of durable nylon that resists impacts, chemicals, and corrosion, says the company.
The Mini Cable Lockout features a retractable cable, and works like a tape measure, with no loose cable to get tangled up in a toolbox or workbag. The lockout includes six holes for padlocks, facilitating group lockouts without the need for hasps. The 8′ cable is available in high-strength, vinyl-coated steel or nonconductive nylon, ideal for locking out electrical energy sources.
Like other cable lockouts, the Brady Mini Cable Lockout uses a flexible cable to secure electrical and mechanical control points, such as disconnect switches and valves. A single device and lock can be used to lock out multiple energy sources. The cable lockout weighs less than heavy metal chains and is easier to tighten securely, which results in improved positive restraint.
The Mini Cable Lockout is one element in a comprehensive lockout/tagout program. For more information on Brady’s safety, facility, and equipment identification products, visit online or call 888-272-3946
