TAGEX The Tagline Extension Arm is a new rigging safety device invented and manufactured
100% in Australia.
TAGEX is permanently or temporarily attached mechanical arm used to protect riggers,
dogman, scaffolders and any other workers working with suspended loads. It is attached to
any lifting device or object that has the potential to be lifted.
Rope attached to any lifted object is termed a tagline, and is used to steady, turn, manipulate,
guide and control the load while it is suspended. Due to the forces of gravity the tagline
hangs in a vertical orientation and subsequently beneath the suspended load. This places
the worker in a seriously dangerous and prohibited area underneath the suspended load
when grabbing and handling the tagline. It breaches all lifting safety procedures, site rules,
safe work practises, JHA’s and general common sense.
TAGEX folds out in the deployed position from the stowed position to provide an
attachment point for the tagline, which is now at a much safer distance from the
load when suspended and allows the worker to freely grasp and handle the tagline
while remaining outside the line of fire of falling objects and the suspended load.
TAGEX can also be used to walk the load when at ground level, when used with a mobile
crane. It can be used to control the load as a steering arm to position the load when
landing, manipulate the load in tight spaces, push and pull the load and general handling of
the load all the while being at a safe distance from the suspended load keeping the dogman
or rigger safe from pinch points and crushes.
TAGEX is attached permanently to such items as lifting cages, stillages, gas bottle trollies,
generation equipment, man cages, sea container, skip bins etc.
The TAGEX bracket attachment is permanently fixed to such items as fixed plant in
refineries, processing plants, mine sites, gas plants etc.
TAGEX also comes in a portable model for single lifts like pipes, steel structure,
telegraph polls, light posts etc, it is the perfect companion
for your Franners and other mobile cranes or in your
rigging gang box.
