MSA is pleased to announce the next phase launch for the MSA/XTIRPA™ Confined Space Entry System.  The Manhole Collar System and the Pole Hoist System components are portable and lightweight with easy, one person set-up capabilities.  Both of these systems can be used in conjunction with the MSA Workman® Rescuer & Winch.  Key markets include:

• General Industry
• Utilities
• Oil, Gas & Petrochemical
• Construction

The Manhole Collar System is a portable anchorage connector used for vertical entry into confined spaces.  The Manhole Collar provides an adapter base by fitting within a manhole opening.  This system is designed for frequent set-up of confined space equipment over similarly-sized openings.

The Pole Hoist System is a portable anchorage connector designed to be used for both vertical & horizontal entry.  When attached to an anchor point, the Pole Hoist provides retrieval and fall arrest capabilities when limited overhead clearance is present.
