Emerald Enterprises offers the Scissor Cable Lockout, a highly flexible and effective Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) device designed to isolate multiple energy sources during maintenance and repair activities. It is ideal for locking large gate valves, electrical disconnect switches, multiple circuit breakers, machine controls, and other equipment that cannot be secured using conventional lockout devices. Its versatile design makes it an essential safety solution for complex industrial lockout applications. The Scissor Cable Lockout is manufactured from high-strength engineering nylon with stainless steel or galvanized steel internal components for superior durability and corrosion resistance. It features a flexible, high-tensile steel cable coated with protective PVC, allowing it to be threaded through multiple lockout points before being securely locked in place. The cable length can be easily adjusted to suit different applications, providing a secure and tamper-resistant lockout solution.
The ergonomic scissor-style locking mechanism allows for quick installation and easy operation without requiring special tools. Once the cable is tightened around the equipment or isolation points, a safety padlock is inserted to secure the device and prevent unauthorized access. Multiple workers can also participate in group lockout procedures by using lockout hasps in conjunction with the cable lockout. The Scissor Cable Lockout is widely used in manufacturing plants, power stations, oil and gas facilities, chemical industries, mining operations, pharmaceutical companies, food processing units, engineering workshops, warehouses, commercial buildings, and maintenance departments. It supports OSHA-compliant Lockout/Tagout programs by helping prevent accidental equipment startup and ensuring hazardous energy remains isolated until maintenance is completed. At Emerald Enterprises, we supply premium-quality Lockout/Tagout products that help organizations improve workplace safety, protect maintenance personnel, and comply with industrial safety regulations.
