Description
38mm Steel Shackle Safety Padlock – P38S (1 Key / 1 Lock)**
1. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The P38S Steel Shackle Safety Padlock is a premium-grade lock designed specifically for industrial safety lockout–tagout (LOTO) applications. Engineered for high durability, chemical resistance, and long-term operational reliability, this padlock ensures effective isolation of electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic energy sources during maintenance operations.
The lock features a 38mm hardened steel shackle, a robust nylon PA6 body, and a corrosion-resistant nickel-plated zinc alloy cylinder, making it well-suited for environments such as manufacturing plants, construction sites, oil & gas facilities, and electrical service operations.
It supports individual keying configurations to comply with workplace safety requirements such as OSHA lockout standards.
A combination of outstanding durability, anti-flame insulation, color-coded bodies, and strict quality control parameters make the P38S an ideal choice for professional safety management programs.
