The HeliGuard™ Tank Piston Lockout System is a purpose-built safety solution for firefighting helicopters equipped with Helitak belly tanks, such as the Sikorsky S92, SH60 Blackhawk, Vertol CH46 Sea Knight, and Airbus SuperPuma. Designed to prevent unintended movement of the pneumatic cylinders that activate the tank doors, this innovative tool ensures optimal safety and reliability during ground operations.
The Lockout tool is crafted from a hard, durable rubber compound, offering robust performance while remaining flexible enough to spring out of the way if inadvertently left installed prior to flight. Its Cylindrical design secures it in place on the piston, providing peace of mind during pre-flight and maintenance activities.
Key Features:
High-Visibility Design: The tool is molded in neon green with bold “Remove Before Flight” lettering in contrasting colors for enhanced visibility during inspections.
Dual Safety Tabs: Two neon green safety tabs are attached with durable paracord for improved identification:
External Tab: Hangs outside the tank to provide an immediate visual cue during pre-flight walkarounds.
Internal Tab: Designed to be positioned on the cabin floor via the belly access door, offering secondary assurance that the tool is installed.
Aircraft-Safe Material: Constructed from non-abrasive rubber to protect sensitive aircraft systems while ensuring durability.
Universal Compatibility: Tailored for use with Helitak belly tanks across a variety of rotary-wing platforms.
