Carry bags

PPE transport bag: protecting equipment between jobs

The service life of fall protection equipment also depends on how it is stored. UV, moisture, chemicals and rubbing in a vehicle boot damage webbing and ropes. A PPE transport bag keeps equipment clean, complete and ready for use. KRATOS SAFETY offers backpacks, rope bags and containers dedicated to specific equipment.

Choosing a bag for your equipment

• Harnesses, lanyards and connectors: a PPE bag or a multi-pocket backpack, to keep items separate and check quickly that nothing is missing.
• Ropes: a self-standing rope bag, which stays open on the ground and lets the rope pay out without knots.
• Wet or dirty environments: a waterproof backpack or a washable cylindrical PVC bag, for muddy sites, offshore work or underground networks.
• Tripods: a bag sized for each tripod height (2.13 m or 3 m), which makes it easier to carry it to the manhole or tank.
• Sensitive equipment: a rigid metal case for equipment that must be protected from impacts.

Storing PPE according to the user instructions

User instructions set storage conditions: a dry, ventilated place, away from light, heat sources and corrosive products, with no load placed on the equipment. A suitable bag meets these requirements on site as well as in the vehicle. Wet equipment should be dried in the open air, away from any heat source, before being stored.

Completing your equipment

Bags go hand in hand with fall arrest kits, which are supplied in a bag, and with rescue and evacuation equipment, which must remain complete and immediately accessible. A bag identified for each workstation also simplifies periodic examination: all of a user's equipment is inspected in one go.
