Automated barrier door<br />
The Guardian Defender combines safety interlock<br />
switches/controls capable of achieving up to PLe, Category<br />
4 level safety with a movable physical barrier restricting<br />
access to dangerous machine movement. At the same<br />
time, process driven hazards such as weld flash, sparks,<br />
flying debris, mist, spray, and smoke are contained. The<br />
Guardian Defender’s switches/controls provide clear visual<br />
communications with two signals, green for safe and red<br />
for unsafe. The machine is designed with a 9-in. foam soft<br />
bottom edge and Armorplex curtain material.<br />

Swing arm system<br />
The Tether Track Swing Arm Fall Arrest System protects<br />
workers from injures due to falls. The system provides<br />
workers with a high degree of mobility and freedom, while<br />
preventing falls to lower levels. The Swing Arm System<br />
provides circular or semicircular fall protection with a<br />
compact footprint. The swing arm can be positioned over<br />
the workspace when needed and moved out of the way<br />
when not in use. The track can be wall mounted, column<br />
mounted, or stand alone and is available in standard arm<br />
lengths from 8 ft to 30 ft.<br />

Safety valve<br />
Cormack Propane Safety Valve helps prevent LPG<br />
escaping when changing forklift cylinders. When the Cormack<br />
valve is closed, it shuts off LP Gas next to the coupler<br />
to prevent it from coming through if the seal fails. If the<br />
Cormack valve is open, the foolproof handle design covers<br />
the coupler so the operator cannot disconnect it in the open<br />
position. The Cormack valve fits almost all forklifts and<br />
increases LPG cylinder exchange safety. With installation<br />
only taking minutes, LPG cylinder changes are quicker.<br />
