Lead Blankets & Mobile Shielding System
Lead Glass Pro supplies high-performance lead wool blankets and accessories designed for flexible radiation shielding in nuclear medicine, PET & SPECT facilities, research labs, and industrial radiography environments. Our blankets, storage systems, mobile racks, and lifting beam work together as a complete solution for temporary or adjustable shielding around equipment, walls, doors, and work areas.
Manufactured from high-density lead wool and encapsulated in a durable, PVC-laminated outer cover, these blankets provide reliable attenuation while remaining easy to position, hang, and store. They offer a minimum 35% attenuation on Cobalt-60 at 6 mm Pb equivalence, making them ideal for applications where conventional fixed shielding is not practical.
Key Features
- High-density lead wool construction for consistent radiation attenuation
- Flexible design conforms to irregular shapes, pipes, valves, or equipment
- Reinforced eyelets for hanging, mounting, or attaching to mobile racks
- Fire class M2 in accordance with NFP 92-503
- Waterproof PVC covering laminated with nylon fibre for long service life
- Available storage container, mobile racks, and lifting beam for safe handling

Mobile Lead Blanket Racks
Our mobile lead blanket racks convert flat blankets into full mobile shielding panels. By hanging LB116H lead blankets from S-hooks and C-hooks, you can quickly create temporary radiation barriers that can be repositioned anywhere in the room. These racks are ideal for hot labs, cyclotron facilities, radiography bays, and any installation that requires adaptable shielding.
Key advantages:
- Accommodates either 4 or 10 LB116H blankets, depending on model
- Blankets overlap by 50 mm to minimise streaming between panels
- Heavy-duty casters for smooth movement and easy positioning
- S-hooks on top & C-hooks on the bottom to keep blankets hanging flat
| Article Code | General Remarks | Effective Shielded Area (mm / inches) |
Total Rack Size (W×H×D) (mm / inches) |
|---|---|---|---|
| E0024956 | S-hooks on top for easier hanging; C-hooks on bottom for flush mounting; 50 mm overlap between blankets. | 750×1550 mm (29.5×61.0 in) |
1018×1911×810 mm (40.1×75.2×31.9 in) |
| E0024958 | Extended rack for larger shielding area; same S-hook / C-hook configuration and 50 mm blanket overlap. | 1800×1550 mm (70.9×61.0 in) |
2068×1911×810 mm (81.4×75.2×31.9 in) |
Note: Lead blankets are ordered separately and installed onto the rack on site.
Lead Blanket Storage Container
The lead blanket storage container is a rugged, stackable steel crate designed specifically for storing lead wool blankets when not in use. It protects blankets from mechanical damage, contamination, and weather while keeping the hot lab or shielding area organized.
- Capacity: up to 25 pcs LB116H, 50 pcs LB156, or 43 pcs LB1112H blankets
- Outside dimensions: 1200×800 mm (approx. 47.2×31.5 in)
- Maximum load: 1000 kg (≈2205 lbs)
- Forklift-compatible base for easy transport
- Lockable lid to keep contents secure during storage and transport
H-Shape Lifting Beam
For facilities that routinely move fully loaded storage containers, the H-shape lifting beam provides a safe, engineered lifting solution. Used in combination with an overhead crane or hoist, it keeps the load level while reducing strain on the container and blankets.
- Purpose-built for lifting the blanket storage container at full load
- Maximum lifting weight: 1000 kg (matches container rating)
- Supplied with four chains, each 1000 mm (39.4 in) long
- Outside dimensions: 2145×1073 mm (approx. 84.5×42.3 in)
- Robust, balanced design for safe, stable lifting and positioning
Together, the lead blankets, mobile racks, storage container, and H-shape lifting beam form a complete, modular shielding system. Whether you need to temporarily shield a new piece of equipment, create mobile barriers, or manage blankets safely between jobs, Lead Glass Pro delivers a turnkey solution backed by expert support and fast lead times.
