Move the control point from hand to tool.
PSC LoadGuider® is an engineered hands-free push/pull safety tool for guiding, aligning and positioning industrial loads from a selected working distance.
The hand should not be the tool used to make the final correction.

Find the task
For the moments when
a hand wants to reach in.
LoadGuider® gives the operator another way to influence load movement and make a positioning correction while maintaining a selected physical separation from the hazard zone.
TASK 02
Pipes and tubulars
Influence movement and alignment of pipes, tubulars and structural sections.
TASK 03
Machinery and equipment
Support final alignment of motors, pumps, gearboxes and skids during installation.
TASK 04
Forklift and material handling
Review applications in fabrication, ports, warehouses and maintenance areas.
The PSC LoadGuider® Push/Pull Safety Tool
Guide. Align.
Position. Stabilise.
The hand remains on the tool; the working head makes contact with the load. LoadGuider® is a purpose-built industrial exposure-control tool—not a general-purpose pole adapted for safety use.
- Designed for hands-free push/pull load guidance
- Distinctive fluorescent-green identity for shopfloor recognition
- Fibreglass pole with a nylon head, per PSC product information
- Use the length suited to the task access, load geometry and required working distance

PSC LoadGuider® product information ↗The final correction
Distance with control.
Not distance alone.
Many load-handling operations are controlled until a small final adjustment is needed. LoadGuider® provides a tool interface for that function so the hand does not have to become the contact point.

Companion product · Remote directional control
PSC LoadGuider® Anti-Tangle Tagline
A second product under the LoadGuider® name: a structured industrial tagline designed to resist twisting and coiling and support remote directional control of suspended loads.
- Rigid 6 mm Polyex core, stiff 12 mm braided body and 6 mm spiral overwrap
- Fluorescent yellow throughout; spliced eye with supplied rated carabiner
- PSC-LGTC series: 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 ft
- 23 kN carabiner rating; gate opening varies by tagline length
Use only for suspended-load directional guidance. It is not lifting gear and is not intended to arrest significant uncontrolled load movement. Verify current hardware ratings and specifications before procurement.
PSC push/pull tool family
One objective.
Three different ways.
PSC’s push/pull tools have distinct roles. Choose the interface based on the application and control required; the tools are not interchangeable.
Product family
Role
Selection cue
PSC LoadGuider® · Legacy range
Routine hands-free load guidance and positioning
Choose for the established general-purpose tool and familiar shopfloor use.
RiggerSafe® · Configurable range
Application-specific lengths and contact inserts
Choose when length, insert type or colour configuration matters.
PSC Guide-It® · Positive-control range
More deliberate push/pull control
Consider when the task needs a more substantial interface with the load.
PSC’s range guide lists LoadGuider® in five lengths: 21, 42, 50, 72 and 96 in; RiggerSafe® in nine lengths from 21 to 96 in with aluminium, rubber or Teflon inserts; and Guide-It® in 21, 42, 50, 72 and 96 in. Confirm current availability and part numbers with PSC.
Find The Hand™ by PSC Hand Safety
Find the function.
Engineer the hand out.
PSC starts with the task, not the tool. Identify why the hand enters the operation, then select a suitable interface that supports the required control.

LoadGuider® engineering reference
The loop that refuses to bite.
A tagline supports remote directional control only when it is suitable for the lift and manageable through the operation. LoadGuider®’s structured construction is designed to resist twisting and coiling; correct length, attachment and line management still matter.
Keep the working distance in the plan. Match the line and attachment to the lift.Request the LoadGuider® engineering handbook ↗
Before use
Product questions.
LoadGuider® is an exposure-control aid, not lifting equipment.
Can the LoadGuider® tool lift or support a load?
No. It is a guidance and positioning tool. It must not be used to support, suspend or carry a load.
How do I select the working length?
Choose for the task access, load geometry and required standoff distance. The longest tool is not automatically the right one.
Does LoadGuider® replace a lifting plan or PPE?
No. It does not replace a lifting plan, risk assessment, exclusion zones, certified lifting equipment, PPE or competent rigging practices.
How do I get help selecting a model?
Send PSC a photograph or short video showing the load, movement, worker position and point where the hand enters. Include working length, quantity and site location if known.
What is the difference between the pole and tagline?
The push/pull tool contacts the load through its working head to make a positioning correction. The tagline provides line-based directional control during a lift. They serve different functions.
Show us the final correction.
Share the task, working length and site context. PSC will help identify the appropriate LoadGuider® option.
