Foot Switch Orange (CTD088)

Keeps operators hands free from machinery by using cast-iron foot switches, designed for use on machinery with proper “Point of Operation” and “Pinch Point” guarding devices in place. This foot switch is protected from unintentional operation. A die-cast cover protects the top and both sides, and the front is protected by a hinged flap. The flap must be lifted with the toe before the foot may enter the switch. This is a more narrow foot switch and not well suited for bulky steel-toed shoes. Please refer to CTD-011 for bulky steel-toed shoe applications.

The Orange Washdown Foot Switch is one of the most rugged and toughest foot switches on the market. It was designed to stand up in the harshest environments while taking substantial abuse. A built-in foot guard gives the operator that extra added protection in the field. This heavy-duty foot switch can be used in multiple applications ranging from Welding to Man Lifts.
