PSC Tagline Retriever Tool -
No Touch Hands Free Hands Off Safety Tool
The PSC Tagline Retriever Tool is designed to address one of the most common causes of offshore injuries manual handling during lifting operations. By enabling workers to control taglines from a safe distance, this hands-free tool significantly reduces the risk of being caught under a suspended load or within the load shadow areas where a falling object can lead to serious injury or fatality.
The tool allows riggers to guide loads into position without stepping into hazardous zones, enhancing both safety and operational efficiency. Its integrated rubber buffer also provides the ability to gently push or guide suspended loads, especially in tight or congested environments, ensuring safe distancing is maintained until the load is fully landed.

No Touch Hands Free Hands Off Safety Tool
FEATURES
The tool’s hook end can be extended up to approximately 2.1 meters (7 feet), allowing workers to retrieve vertically hanging taglines without approaching the suspended load. This reduces the risk of injury by maintaining a safe distance during load handling.
The integrated rubber buffer is designed to push against suspended loads, helping guide them safely into tight or congested spaces. This feature ensures that operators can control load positioning while staying clear of the danger zone until the load is fully landed.
The pole is typically used in a fully retracted position (approximately 1.2 meters or 4 feet) to maintain maximum rigidity when guiding loads. It can also be half-extended when needed; however, excessive force may cause the pole to telescope inward. This adjustability offers flexibility while maintaining safe handling practices.
APPLICATIONS
Effectively manages taglines when ropes begin to tangle, helping prevent snags and delays while ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operations.
Allows operators to guide and maneuver suspended loads from a safe distance, improving directional control and reducing the need for direct contact.
Minimizes exposure to high-risk zones by keeping workers out of the line of fire, significantly reducing the chances of injury during load handling.
