Padlock safety lockout SCHNEIDERE 26970 for levers, set of 2, yellow

SCHNEIDERE 26970 is a padlock-style safety lockout set designed for lever handles, supplied as a pair of yellow units. Each unit fits over compatible lever-style controls to prevent operation during maintenance, providing a visible and physical barrier. The design accepts a standard padlock to secure the device in the locked-out position, helping to isolate energy sources and reduce accidental actuation of machinery or control panels.

Advantages

The SCHNEIDERE 26970 set offers straightforward installation and a compact design that fits many common lever types. The yellow color provides clear visual identification of locked-out equipment, while the padlock acceptor enables controlled access by maintenance personnel. Supplied as two units, the set allows simultaneous lockout of multiple levers or provides a spare for routine use.

Suitable for

• Locking out lever handles on industrial machinery and control panels
• Temporary isolation during servicing, repair, or inspection tasks
• Maintenance workflows that require visible lockout/tagout measures
• Workplaces that use padlocks to control access to isolated equipment

When it may not be suitable

This lockout set is intended for lever-style handles and may not fit non-lever actuators such as large wheels, push buttons, or complex multi-axis controls. It is not a substitute for full energy-isolation procedures where additional isolation devices or lockout methods are required by safety regulations. Compatibility should be confirmed with the specific lever geometry before use.

Key specifications

• Quantity: set of 2 units
• Color: yellow for high visibility
• Type: padlock-style lockout for lever handles
• Material: durable polymer construction (resistant to routine workshop conditions)
• Padlock compatibility: accepts one standard padlock per unit (padlocks sold separately)

How to use

Position the lockout unit over the lever handle so the lever is held in the off or safe position. Ensure the unit fully encloses or blocks lever movement according to its design. Insert a padlock through the designated hole to secure the unit; only personnel with the key can then remove the padlock and restore operation. Use one unit per lever and follow site-specific lockout/tagout procedures when isolating equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the lockout unit fits the specific lever shape and size on your equipment
• Confirm that padlocks you intend to use are compatible and available separately
• Check workplace lockout/tagout policy and required color-coding or labeling standards

Usage recommendations

Use these units as part of a documented lockout/tagout procedure: always de-energize equipment, follow isolation steps, apply the lockout device, and attach an identification tag and padlock. Store spare units and compatible padlocks in a designated maintenance kit to ensure availability when performing routine servicing.
