ABUS 74 Lock Out Tag Out Aluminium Long Shackle 40mm Padlocks

ABUS 74 Aluminium Long‑Shackle Lockout Padlock – 40mm

When you’re isolating machinery or carrying out maintenance, the last thing you need is a padlock that sticks, snaps, or blends in with everyone else’s kit. The ABUS 74 series was built to avoid exactly those problems. It’s a proper lockout/tagout padlock — lightweight, tough, and designed so each worker can secure their own point of isolation without mix‑ups.

The anodised aluminium body gives you the strength of metal without the weight of a steel lock, and it shrugs off the knocks, oil, and grime you get around plant rooms and workshops. The long steel shackle makes life easier when you’re dealing with awkward lockout hasps, oversized switchgear, or tight access around electrical panels.

What people tend to appreciate most is the key control. The 74 uses a dedicated LOTO key system: one key per lock, no accidental duplicates, and no shared keys floating around the site. Once it’s locked, it stays locked until the person responsible removes it — exactly what you want for safe isolation procedures.

If you’re standardising your lockout equipment, the bright colour options help supervisors and contractors identify who’s locked what at a glance. It keeps the job tidy and reduces the risk of someone removing the wrong padlock during a shift change.

Ideal for: electrical lockout, machinery isolation, plant maintenance, multi‑point lockout systems, and any environment where clear, reliable LOTO control is essential.
