In many confined space operations, the greatest risk often arises when access must be made laterally or at elevations where conventional vertical systems cannot be used.
The IN-8008 Pole Hoist is specifically engineered to address this horizontal access need, featuring a lightweight, ergonomic system that fully supports rescue and emergency evacuation procedures.
Many industrial facilities have entry points (manholes) located on the side of tanks or building walls. In such cases, the use of a vertical tripod or davit arm becomes inefficient or even impossible, requiring equipment capable of providing lateral reach without compromising safety.
Confined space work with side-entry access demands a load-support system that is both flexible and stable. This is critical to ensure workers remain securely connected to a safety system throughout entry, operation, and potential rescue scenarios in hazardous conditions.
The IN-8008 serves as a purpose-built solution that bridges the gap between heavy vertical access systems and the need for horizontal mobility. Its unique design enables the creation of a strong anchor point directly in front of entry openings where standard equipment cannot be installed.
The core concept of the IN-8008 is the use of a pole that functions as a horizontal lever arm. This design allows the system to safely transfer loads while maintaining an optimal access angle for workers entering a confined space.
The system consists of two main components: a davit arm and a T-shaped support base (T-Base). Together, they create a structure that is both stable and highly modular, making it easy to relocate and install even in tight work areas.
Unlike permanent hoist systems, the IN-8008 is designed for mobile operations. Its compact form when disassembled allows field personnel to carry it through narrow corridors or up stairways to reach the work site with ease.

IN-8008 dapat dihubungkan dengan berbagai solusi angkur bergerak atau mobile anchorage lainnya dari XTIRPA. Hal ini memberikan keleluasaan bagi tim teknis untuk memodifikasi sistem sesuai dengan struktur bangunan atau fasilitas yang ada.
Mulai dari inspeksi tangki penyimpanan hingga pemeliharaan terowongan bawah tanah, fleksibilitas IN-8008 menjadikannya alat yang sangat adaptif. Satu set peralatan dapat digunakan untuk berbagai tipe manhole yang berbeda di satu area industri.
As part of the XTIRPA ecosystem, the IN-8008 can be integrated with other components such as permanent bases or specialized adapters. This modularity ensures a more efficient equipment investment, as components can be interchanged according to operational needs.
The system works seamlessly with mechanical devices such as a winch or a self-retracting lifeline (SRL). These additional devices can be installed easily without requiring any modification to the main pole structure.
Thanks to its high modularity, companies do not need to purchase different equipment for each type of confined space. The IN-8008 effectively handles the majority of horizontal access scenarios with a single system.
One of XTIRPA’s standout features is its assembly system that requires no additional tools such as wrenches or screwdrivers. All components are connected using a highly practical quick-connect mechanism.
The safety of every connection is ensured through the use of robust safety pins. Clear locking indicators make it easy for safety supervisors to verify that the system is correctly installed before use.
From disassembled condition to full readiness, the IN-8008 can be set up in just a few minutes. This fast setup is especially valuable during emergency maintenance tasks where time is critical.
Despite its light weight, the IN-8008 is manufactured from high-grade industrial aluminum. This material provides an optimal strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring the system remains robust even under demanding workloads.
The aluminum structure and its protective components are designed to resist corrosion and exposure to mild chemicals commonly found in refineries or wastewater treatment facilities. This extends the equipment’s service life, even with frequent outdoor use.
Each component is engineered for durability and resistance to deformation, even with frequent assembly and disassembly. This reliability ensures the system performs consistently whenever it is needed.
The precision-engineered pole design minimizes vibration and sway while workers are moving. This stability is essential for maintaining worker focus and preventing panic caused by movement in the safety system.
By using the IN-8008, the risks associated with improvised anchor points are eliminated. The system provides technical assurance that all loads are handled within safe, design-rated capacities.
This system has been tested to meet international safety standards for confined space operations. Its use demonstrates a company’s commitment to implementing the highest occupational safety standards for its workers.
Work in underground drainage systems often requires access through side openings in tunnel walls. The IN-8008 is an ideal solution for maintaining the technical safety of utility workers in these environments.
In refineries, many pressure vessels and storage tanks feature side-entry openings. The system’s material durability and ease of mobility make it highly suitable for internal inspections in the oil and gas sector.
Factory areas with limited space and dense machinery layouts often leave no room for large tripods. The compact IN-8008 can fit between equipment to provide safe access for maintenance teams.
Integration with manual or electric winches allows precise control of worker movement. The retrieval function ensures that, in an emergency, workers can be safely and efficiently pulled out.
The IN-8008 is designed to work seamlessly with high-quality full body harnesses. This connection ensures safe load distribution across the worker’s body in the event of a fall incident.
Beyond routine access, the system also supports automatic fall arrest devices, providing layered protection from fall prevention to rescue readiness.
Like other safety equipment, the IN-8008 requires routine visual inspections before use. Checks should focus on connection integrity, pole condition, and the completeness of safety pins to ensure the system is fit for operation.
Because it can be disassembled into smaller parts, the system requires minimal storage space. Its modular design also simplifies inventory management and periodic inspections.
With proper maintenance, the IN-8008 offers a long service life. Its consistent performance is ensured by strict manufacturing standards, giving users confidence in its reliability over time.
Forcing conventional systems to perform horizontal access introduces significant risk. The IN-8008 is engineered from the outset to handle lateral load directions, delivering a level of safety that standard equipment cannot provide.
Compared to permanent or heavy industrial davit systems, the IN-8008 offers far superior portability. It is the ideal choice for teams that frequently move between project locations.
Its ability to adapt to different entry types and surrounding obstructions makes it an exceptionally versatile tool. This flexibility improves both time and cost efficiency in confined space project management.
The IN-8008 is more than a lifting device; it is a strategic component of confined space safety systems. By focusing on horizontal access, it closes safety gaps that are often overlooked in conventional safety planning.
The combination of ultra-light weight, ease of installation, and proven material strength sets a new standard for rescue and lateral access equipment. For companies that prioritize safety without sacrificing efficiency, the IN-8008 Pole Hoist is the optimal solution for confined space challenges.
