Pelsue LifeGuard System Confined Space Entry System

The Pelsue #LG5A system is a simple to use, lightweight, safety product for usage around underfoot manways. The LG5A system is composed of two major parts, the first of which is a compact folding guard fence fully equipped with safety chains that enables the barricading of open manways when entry is necessary.

The second major component of the system is a four-legged lightweight, fold-able structure that inserts into the tops of the guard section’s four corner posts.

The four-legged section can be secured to the guard via 4 highly durable rubber t-handle latches located at the ends of each of the 4 legs.

This safely keeps the upper section secured to the guard section to prevent the system from disengaging from one another or if movement of the system is needed while the upper and lower sections are desired to remain attached.

The upper assembly has several features which allow the assembled guard and upper section to be utilized as a certified overhead lifting device and also provides compliant overhead anchorage for the attachment of personal fall arrest systems. The LG5A system is truly a single source, do-it-all product for safe and compliant confined space entry operations
