CapBag™

The Ultimate Solution for Safe Capacitor Handling and Storage

In industries where electrical components and hazardous materials are handled daily, safety and compliance are non-negotiable. ABG Bag Inc. has developed the CapBag, a multi-use single-phase capacitor containment bag that is engineered to provide the highest level of safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. Whether you’re dealing with small or large capacitors, the CapBag is the best solution for handling and storing these components, while preventing spills and meeting all necessary compliance standards.

The Patented Self-Lifting Design

One of the standout features of the CapBag is its patented self-lifting design, which makes it incredibly easy to transport and handle capacitors in a safe and efficient manner. The unique design includes reinforced lifting loops, which allow for a seamless and secure lift of capacitors, eliminating the need for additional equipment or manual lifting. The self-lifting feature also reduces the risk of injury to workers, as it removes the manual handling involved in moving heavy, awkwardly shaped capacitors. This feature enhances workplace safety, reduces labor costs, and improves overall operational efficiency, making it an indispensable tool for utility and construction companies.

Storm Preparedness and Environmental Responsibility

Severe weather events like hurricanes, electrical storms, and tornadoes can cause unexpected damage to electrical infrastructure, leading to the need for safe and effective containment solutions. With the CapBag, utilities and service providers can be better prepared for storm season. The bag’s design is not only rugged and reliable but also ensures that capacitors are safely stored and transported, minimizing the risk of spills and contamination during storm-related repairs or replacements.

In addition to providing safety during storm events, the CapBag is fully recyclable, reflecting ABG Bag Inc.’s commitment to environmental sustainability. When the bag is no longer in use, it can be recycled, reducing waste and minimizing the environmental impact. This aligns with ABG’s broader green initiatives, where products are designed with the goal of being reusable, recyclable, and environmentally responsible.

Compact and Easy to Store

The CapBag is designed to be easily stored on utility trucks, making it convenient for use in the field. Its compact design ensures that it can be stowed away without taking up too much space, which is critical for companies that need to maintain a mobile and efficient work environment. Whether you’re on a job site or responding to an emergency, the CapBag is ready to be deployed at a moment’s notice.

Safety and Compliance with DOT, TSCA, and EPA

Capacitors, particularly those used in older electrical systems, can often be contaminated with PCBs (Polychlorinated Biphenyls) or other hazardous materials. The CapBag is specifically designed to contain these potentially dangerous contaminants while providing peace of mind that your operation is in compliance with essential regulatory guidelines. The bag is DOT, TSCA, and EPA compliant, ensuring that it meets the stringent standards required for the handling, storage, and transport of hazardous materials, including PCBs.

DOT Compliance: The CapBag meets the Department of Transportation’s standards for safe transportation of hazardous materials. This ensures that the bag can be used for transporting capacitors without the risk of leakage or spillage, protecting both workers and the environment.
TSCA Compliance: The CapBag is designed to handle materials containing PCBs in accordance with the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). By using the CapBag, you can safely store and transport capacitors that contain PCBs without violating any environmental regulations.
EPA Compliance: The CapBag ensures that you comply with the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) standards for hazardous material containment and transportation. This is critical for avoiding fines and ensuring that your organization meets federal environmental safety regulations.

These compliance features make the CapBag the go-to solution for handling capacitors in industries like utilities, electrical, and construction, where safety and regulatory compliance are paramount.

Avoiding Preventable Spills

One of the primary concerns when handling capacitors, particularly those containing hazardous materials like PCBs, is the risk of spills. Spills can lead to serious environmental contamination, costly cleanup procedures, and fines. With the CapBag, you can avoid preventable spills by using a secure, compliant, and reliable containment solution. The bag is specifically designed to ensure that capacitors are safely stored and transported without the risk of leakage, protecting both your team and the environment from the potentially harmful effects of contaminants.
