No Touch. No Injury.
Gloves don't stop crush forces. Reminders don't stop pinch points. HSF Hands-Off Tools are purpose-built manual handling equipment that remove hands from high-risk interaction points — while maintaining precise, controlled load movement.
Engineering Control — Not Behavioral Control
PPE protects skin. HSF Hands-Off Tools protect the mechanism. By transferring control from bare hands to purpose-designed tools, you eliminate compressive force, shear force, and impact energy at the source — not on the glove surface. This is manual handling safety done through design, not reminders.
Four Categories.
One Mission.
Each HSF Hands-Off Tool is engineered for a specific manual handling hazard. Select the right tool for your application — and remove hands from the equation.
HSF RiggerSafe™
Push Pull Tool
Built for riggers, crane operators, and load-handling crews working in offshore, onshore, marine, construction and utility environments. The RiggerSafe fibreglass shaft and wide-face push head lets workers guide, push and position suspended loads with maximum precision — and zero hand contact.
HSF LoadGrab™
Magnetic Push/Pull
For ferrous load control — steel plates, road plates, trench covers, I-beams, pipes and heavy fabricated components. The MagHead magnetic ball head assembly grips the load; the fiberglass pole keeps hands at a safe distance. Quick-release function for fast detachment in confined or challenging spaces.
HSF Cylinder
Handler
Industrial gas cylinders are heavy, top-heavy, and routinely handled in oil & gas, power plants, chemical processing and healthcare environments. The HSF Cylinder Handler removes hands from the rolling and tipping zone — the primary cause of finger and hand crush events in cylinder management.
HSF Hose &
Pipe Handler
During installation, removal, or maintenance, hoses and pipes present a consistent hand injury risk — especially under pressure or in live-work environments. HSF Pipe Handlers allow operators to align and position without direct grip, eliminating the most common pinch and impact exposure points in shutdown and turnaround operations.
Gloves Protect Skin.
Tools Eliminate Risk.
The hierarchy of controls is unambiguous: engineering controls outrank PPE every time. Here's what each approach actually does — and doesn't do.
- Provide surface protection only — skin, abrasion, minor cuts
- Do not mitigate compressive force from a suspended load
- Do not reduce shear force during catching or sudden movement
- Do not absorb impact energy from a swinging load
- Do not keep hands out of pinch zones or caught-between hazards
- Create false confidence that hand contact is now "safe"
- Wear, degrade and are inconsistently used across shifts
- Remove hands from the hazard zone entirely — engineering control
- Transfer compressive and shear forces to the tool, not fingers
- Maintain operator standoff distance during unpredictable load movement
- Provide precise directional control without hand contact
- Consistent risk reduction on every single interaction, every shift
- Improve compliance with hands-free and safety protocols
- Compatible with existing workflows — no operational disruption
Built for
Your Industry.
HSF Hands-Off Tools are most effective in environments where suspended, rolling, or pressurised loads require manual interaction in confined, elevated, or dynamic conditions.
Every Task Has
The Right Length.
Most push/pull tools come in 2–3 sizes. That forces compromise — and compromise creates risk. The HSF RiggerSafe range covers nine precision-engineered lengths so operators always have the correct standoff distance for the task.
