Cage 60"x 154" [Rectangular] | Tuff Built

The Tuff Built 20134 Cage is a rectangular cage designed to safely lower or raise individuals in confined spaces typically for rescue operations confined space entry or any work in high-risk environments. Its design is larger than traditional round cages which makes it suitable for applications where a larger platform is necessary.

Key Features:

• Size and Shape:

  • This cage has dimensions of 60" (5 feet) in width and 154" (approximately 12.8 feet) in length providing ample space for larger personnel or for rescuing multiple people tools and equipment.

  • The rectangular shape is likely designed for more stable and balanced lifting particularly in confined spaces where maneuvering space is limited.

• Heavy-Duty Construction:

  • As with most Tuff Built products the cage is constructed from high-strength materials like steel or aluminum. These materials ensure that the cage can withstand the heavy demands of rescue operations such as being raised or lowered under high tension potentially in tough environmental conditions.

  • The cage is built to be durable impact-resistant and corrosion-resistant ensuring long-term performance.

• Safety and Protection:

  • The cage is designed to protect workers while being transported to or from dangerous locations. It provides a safe enclosure with mesh sides or bars to prevent the individual from falling out or being exposed to hazards during the lowering or hoisting process.

  • Secure entry and exit points allow personnel to safely enter or exit the cage before or after being hoisted into position.

• Adaptable to Rescue Systems:

  • This cage is likely used with winches tripods or davits as part of a confined space rescue system. These devices ensure that the cage can be safely lifted and lowered into and out of hazardous environments like manholes silos tanks pits or other tight hard-to-reach areas.

  • The cage can accommodate lifting devices that allow personnel to be moved securely from dangerous work sites.

• Larger Platform Size:

  • The 154" length gives this cage a large platform which can accommodate more than one individual or allow additional space for safety equipment like harnesses or life-saving gear. This makes it especially useful in industrial or construction environments where multiple workers or heavy equipment need to be safely transported at once.

Common Uses:

• Confined Space Entry/Exit:

  • This cage is often used in confined space entry and exit such as for workers needing to enter areas like manholes storage tanks silos or pits. The rectangular shape provides a stable safe environment for individuals to be lowered into or raised out of these spaces.

• Rescue Operations:

  • In emergency rescue situations this cage provides a safe way to transport injured or unconscious individuals from dangerous environments. The additional space might be needed for medical personnel or equipment during the rescue.

• Industrial Sites and Construction Projects:

  • On construction sites industrial plants or worksites with hazardous environments this cage can be used for accessing high or difficult-to-reach areas. It allows workers to safely enter and exit areas that other access methods (like ladders or scaffolding) cannot reach.

• Height and Depth Safety:

  • The cage can also be used for transporting personnel or materials from great heights or depths ensuring that safety is maintained during the entire operation.

Specifications:

• Dimensions:

  • 60 inches in width (5 feet)

  • 154 inches in length (approximately 12.8 feet)

  • This makes it a long rectangular cage larger than typical round models ideal for accommodating multiple people or extra gear.

• Material:

  • Likely constructed from heavy-duty steel or aluminum which ensures durability while maintaining a reasonable weight for lifting and handling.

• Weight Capacity:

  • This cage is typically designed to support several hundred pounds (likely up to 500+ pounds depending on the exact configuration) which is sufficient to transport a person along with their safety equipment or tools.

• Entry/Exit:

  • The cage will likely have safe entry/exit points such as doors or openings allowing personnel to easily access or exit the cage during use.

• Mesh or Barriers:

  • The sides of the cage are likely constructed with mesh or bars to prevent individuals from falling out while being transported. This also ensures that the environment within the cage remains safe from external hazards.

Safety Considerations:

• Regular Inspections:

  • As with all rescue and safety equipment the cage should be inspected regularly for wear and tear particularly around the entry/exit points mesh and lifting points. Check for corrosion damage or loose parts that could compromise its safety.

• Secure Attachment:

  • Ensure the cage is properly secured to the winch tripod or davit system to prevent accidents during use. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for attaching the cage safely to these devices.

• Proper Training:

  • Workers should be trained in the proper use of the cage including how to safely enter and exit the cage how to properly attach and detach the lifting system and how to ensure the cage is stable and secure before use.
