BOB™ Pole & Pad Mount Transformer Containment Bags

BOB™ Pole & Pad Mount Transformer Containment Bags

When it comes to safely containing and transporting PCB-contaminated, oil-filled equipment, ABG Bag Inc. offers the BOB™ Pole & Pad Mount Transformer Containment Bags — a product that stands out as the only UN-rated, DOT, TSCA, and EPA certified solution in the industry. Designed to offer exceptional strength, safety, and versatility, BOB™ Transformer Bags are the premier choice for companies seeking the highest standards in safety and compliance for their field operations.

ABG’s BOB™ bags are the gold standard in transformer containment, ensuring safe lifting, handling, and transport of transformers that are often used in high-risk scenarios where the handling of oil-filled equipment must be done with precision. As a result, BOB™ Transformer Bags serve as an insurance policy not only for line workers but also for the environment.

Bigger, Stronger, and Safer: The BOB™ Advantage

The BOB™ Pole & Pad Mount Transformer Containment Bags are engineered to be bigger and stronger to meet the needs of modern utility operations. As transformers continue to grow in size, BOB™ bags have been expanded to accommodate today’s larger, high-efficiency transformers. With a stronger build, these containment bags are now able to handle even the heaviest equipment, providing a secure and reliable solution for every lifting, transporting, and containment need.

Convenience and User-Friendly Features

ABG Bag Inc. understands the importance of convenience when dealing with the demanding conditions of the utility industry. That’s why BOB™ bags come with several user-friendly features designed to streamline the process of using and storing containment bags.

  • Return Tag: Each BOB™ Transformer Bag comes with an oil-filled equipment return tag enclosed in a heavy-duty document pouch. This tag is used to easily identify and track the equipment and its condition during transport, ensuring that all relevant information is documented and accessible.
  • QR Code: Every BOB™ bag features a QR code printed on the side, linking directly to a “How To Use BOB™” video. This instructional video can be easily accessed on any smartphone, providing workers with step-by-step guidance on how to use the bags safely and efficiently in the field.
  • Storage Efficiency: Despite their larger size, BOB™ bags are designed to be easily stored on utility trucks, making them highly portable and ready for use when needed.
  • Sling Design: New full sling design makes BOB® incredibly STRONG & SAFE! The lifting loops form one continuous sling with a bottom cross-webbing design for lift reinforcement. BOB® is a SAFETY RATED SLING BAG!
  • Sizing: We made the containment bags bigger and taller to accommodate today’s larger high efficiency transformers.

In addition to their robust safety features and certifications, BOB™ Transformer Bags are 100% recyclable. ABG Bag Inc. is committed to reducing the environmental impact of its products, and this commitment extends to ensuring that all of our containment solutions are sustainable. Once used, BOB™ bags can be recycled to reduce waste and contribute to environmental preservation. The recyclable nature of BOB™ bags makes them an eco-conscious choice for companies looking to enhance their sustainability efforts while still maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality.

Product Reviews

“We used an ABG BOB-72 (PMT-72) for a demonstration and our linemen were quite impressed by its ease of use. We had previously been using competitor bags that just sort of wrapped around the transformers almost like a heavy duty garbage bag with no handles. The handles and weight rating alone make these (ABG BOB-72) much more easy to use. A quality product that we hope to continue to use in the future.” — Josh Weir, Stores and Facilities Assistant, Epcor, Collingwood, Ontario, Canada
