Lockout Padlock for Industrial Safety
The Abus 72 HB/40-40 KD Red is a corrosion-resistant and heat-resistant padlock built for lockout and tagout procedures. Its anodized aluminium body and hardened steel shackle withstand harsh environments. The keyed-different cylinder ensures each lock opens only with its own key. Non-removable key design prevents accidental unlocking while the shackle is open.
Mechanical Push Button Replaces Key-Only Locks
This mechanical push-button model replaces traditional key-only padlocks where faster, one-handed operation is needed. The jump is worth it when workers must secure energy-isolation points repeatedly during shift changes or maintenance windows. It suits teams that prefer a tactile push action over turning a key in gloves or low light.
Open Shackle Limits Multi-Point Locking
The open shackle design with 3/4 in horizontal clearance and 1 9/16 in vertical clearance fits standard hasps and chain links. It cannot accommodate thick valve handles or oversized locking points that demand a long-shackle or flexible-cable variant. Users needing to lock multiple isolation points simultaneously will require additional padlocks.

Questions about this item
What shackle diameter does the 72 HB/40-40 KD Red padlock need to fit through?
The hardened-steel shackle is 1/4 in thick, so the hasp or chain link must accept at least that diameter.
How do I install the lockout padlock so the key cannot be removed while it is open?
Insert the key, turn to unlock, then push the shackle down fully; the non-removable-key feature only engages when the shackle is fully seated.
When should I replace the anodised aluminium body or the hardened-steel shackle?
Replace the padlock if the red anodised coating shows deep corrosion or if the shackle shows visible deformation after a forced-entry attempt.
