IN-8002 Davit Arm Self Supporting Barricade

Portable Barricade Solution for Confined Space Safety

 

Access and work in confined spaces involve three primary risks: falling into an opening, emergency evacuation failure, and limited working space. These risks increase by up to 60% in open manhole areas without a physical barrier system. Therefore, using a portable barricade with integrated davit arm becomes a critical component in risk control systems.

IN-8002 Davit Arm Self Supporting Barricade from XTIRPA is designed as an integrated solution to secure access while supporting a vertical rescue system.

Overview of the IN-8002 Davit Arm Self Supporting Barricade

The IN-8002 is a portable manhole guard integrated with a davit arm mast, enabling both barrier protection and rescue anchorage functions in a single unit.

Main Function as a Portable Barricade

The IN-8002 functions as a self-supporting barricade that surrounds manhole openings to prevent falls. The system creates a clearly defined physical perimeter, reducing exposure to fall hazards by up to 70% compared to having no barrier.

Integration of the Davit Arm in the Safety System

This system supports the use of the IN-2002 or IN-2210 davit arm with a maximum capacity of 190 kg (420 lb) as part of a Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS).

The Position of IN-8002 in a Confined Space Safety System

Within the hierarchy of risk control, the IN-8002 operates at the engineering control level rather than merely as an administrative control, as it provides direct physical protection.

What Makes the IN-8002 Different from Conventional Barricades

The IN-8002 is not just a temporary guardrail; it is the only portable barricade with an integrated davit arm mast.

1. The Only Portable Barricade with an Integrated Davit Arm

Conventional barricades only restrict access to an area. The IN-8002 allows the installation of a winch and retrieval system for vertical evacuation.

2. Lightweight and Easy-to-Move Design

The aluminum structure reduces weight without compromising strength. The material complies with CSA W59.2 and AWS D1.6 welding standards.

3. Enhanced Safety for Confined Space Work Areas

With a physical perimeter and integrated anchor point, the system eliminates the need for separate devices that increase operational complexity.

Safety Applications in Confined Spaces

The IN-8002 is designed for various industrial confined space environments.

1. Securing Manhole Access Areas

The system provides 360° protection for standard industrial manholes with diameters ranging from 457–1067 mm.

2. Fall Prevention Around Openings

The anti-tipping hook system (minimum of three units required) enhances stability during operation.

Support for Safe Access for Workers and Rescue Teams

With proper configuration, rescue teams can perform standby operations without dismantling the barricade.

The Role of the IN-8002 in Rescue and Evacuation

The IN-8002 supports a vertically based emergency evacuation system.

1. Support for Vertical Rescue Systems

The system supports a maximum moment of 8,542 N-m under specific davit configurations.

2. Stability During Emergency Evacuation

The use of A2108-18 or A2108-20 stabilizers is required in the V-configuration to ensure system stability.

3. Integration with Confined Space Rescue Equipment

The system is compatible with retrieval winches, self-retracting lifelines (SRLs), and full-body harnesses.

Configuration and Layout Flexibility

The IN-8002 offers layout flexibility for various field conditions.

1. Four-Sided Configuration (4-Sided Layout)

Provides full protection around the access perimeter.

2. “V” Configuration

Used in restricted areas; however, the front opening must be secured with an additional barrier.

3. Adaptation to Field Conditions

The system can be adjusted for both static and dynamic work areas.

Stabilizer Options and Mobility

Stability determines operational safety.

1. Fixed Stabilizers for Static Areas

Suitable for long-term work at a single location.

2. Wheel Option for Dynamic Work Areas

Speeds up system relocation by up to 50% compared to a fixed-frame system.

3. The Impact of Stability on Operational Safety

Insufficient stability increases the risk of overturning when lateral loads occur.

Modularity of the IN-8002 System

The system is designed with a modular concept to maximize investment efficiency.

1. Use of the Same Davit Arm Across Multiple Systems

The davit arm can be used with other systems such as the XTIRPA portable base.

2. Integration with Other XTIRPA Systems

Enhances interoperability between rescue equipment components.

3. Safety Equipment Investment Efficiency

A single davit arm can be utilized across multiple configurations.

Ease of Installation and Use

The IN-8002 is designed for operational efficiency.

1. One-Person Installation

The modular design allows a single technician to complete the installation.

2. Tool-Free Installation System

Quick-locking pins eliminate the need for additional tools.

3. Setup Time in Minutes

Average installation is completed within 5–10 minutes.

4. Materials and Construction Design

The system structure directly affects its service life.

5. Lightweight Material with High Strength

Constructed using an aluminum structure and stainless steel hardware.

6. Ergonomic Design for Field Use

Modular components simplify transportation and handling.

7. Resistance to Industrial Work Environments

Corrosion-resistant materials make it suitable for oil & gas and water utility environments.

Operational Safety of the IN-8002

Operational safety is determined by system design and procedural compliance.

1. System Stability During Use

The system must be used on a level surface.

2. Reduction of Workplace Accident Risks

Engineering controls like this reduce reliance solely on personal protective equipment (PPE).

3. Compliance with Confined Space Safety Principles

The system complies with ANSI Z359.1, OSHA 1910.66, EN 795, and AS/NZS 5532 standards.

Suitable Industries and Work Environments

1. Oil & Gas and Petrochemical

Used in storage tanks and inspection pits.

2. Factories and Manufacturing Facilities

Used in silo spaces and reactor vessels.

3. Utilities, Water Treatment, and Infrastructure

Used in sewer manholes and utility vaults.

IN-8002 as a Confined Space Barricade Solution

The IN-8002 combines the functions of a portable barricade and a rescue anchor system in a single modular unit, enhancing the effectiveness of confined space safety systems.

Reasons to Choose the IN-8002 for Confined Space Access

Choose the IN-8002 if you require:

  1. A portable barricade with integrated rescue capability

  2. A capacity of up to 190 kg

  3. Compliance with international standards

  4. Fast, tool-free installation

  5. Long-term modular investment flexibility

The IN-8002 is more than just a barricade. It is a critical component of a Confined Space Safety Management strategy based on measurable engineering controls and international standards compliance.
