For 60 years, Outilac has been specialised in industrial equipment in the widest sense of the term.
Outilac commercializes products from its own brand “Outilac”, selected with the greatest care for their quality, strength, and security, and designed principally for the industrial market.
We also carefully select the other products that we commercialize, in order to always answer professionals’ demands in terms of quality.
Outilac is also specialised in the production and commercialization of didactic equipment and systems for technical education and training (professional training centers).

SECURITY
Security
A good use of our material requires the respect of security instructions. These instructions are complementary to usual precautions that users need to respect according to the requirements of their profession and company, and of the current regulations in their own country.
Protection
Safety glasses are required for all types of work that can cause dust, splinters, or light flashes… Gloves protect you from cuts, burns, shocks…
The right routines
Maintaining a good balance is important, especially in cases of efforts that require the use of strength, such as traction and releasing efforts. Maintaining the right position during lifting operations is important for your back: remember to keep your back straight and to bend your legs.
Electricity
A 1000-volts equipment is essential to work with material with voltage switched on or in the vicinity of such material. When you work with powered voltage, this is the only equipment that provides the required insulation.
