Stop by booth #2306 and check out our NEW Saf-T-Gard Voltgard V-GRIPS Leather Protector Gloves and see their powerful grip first hand!
Available in low-voltage and high-voltage styles, they are manufactured using a proprietary grip-enhancing coating that covers the entire work surface of the gloves (palm, index finger and thumb) to deliver an unsurpassed grip that won’t slip or affect the ergonomics of the gloves and provides superior dexterity and flexibility, especially when handling small parts. Furthermore, the durable goatskin leather protects against cuts, abrasions and punctures and will not absorb dirt, oil, grit, grime or moisture. Saf-T-Gard® Voltgard® V-GRIPS® Leather Protector Gloves are crafted by leather glove specialists from a gold, grain goatskin leather that is selected and processed for softness and comfort. The low-voltage styles fit properly over straight cuff industry-standard rubber insulating gloves, while the high-voltage styles fit properly over both straight and bell cuff industry-standard rubber insulating gloves. All styles are dual-sized to fit whole and half sizes in rubber insulating gloves, feature a gunn cut pattern for easy wearing and a leather strap and durable buckle to comfortably secure the gloves to the workers’ hands. Ideal for use by utility workers, power and communication linemen, electrical contractors, plant and facility maintenance technicians and electrical field service technicians, the Saf-T-Gard® Voltgard® V-GRIPS® Leather Protector Gloves meet ASTM Standard F-696 for Leather Protectors for Rubber Insulating Gloves and Mittens, and have an Arc Rating of at least 28 cal/cm2.
Unique, collapsible handle design extends to safely withdraw injured workers from hazardous areas and retracts when not in use to deliver 50-90% savings on shipping costs compared to 6’ and 8’ fixed-length rescue hooks
Emergency rescue workers everywhere have a new reason to get hooked on Voltgard® Electrical Safety products with the arrival of the new Saf-T-Gard® Voltgard® RESCUE-8T Telescopic Insulated Rescue Body Hook. Showcasing an innovative telescopic handle design, the RESCUE-8T extends up to 8’ for the emergency rescue of injured personnel and collapses to an overall length of 43”. This compact, retracted size conveniently fits inside a standard (43” x 20” x 2”) shipping carton, which ships for less than $10, delivering tremendous value over other 6’ and 8’ fixed-length rescue hooks that can cost up to $100 to ship.
Designed to comply with OSHA 1910.269(j) for the construction of live line tools and OSHA 1926.957 for the use of live line tools, the RESCUE-8T is coated and heat-treated with an 18” opening and mounted on an 8’ telescopic fiberglass handle to rescue workers from confined spaces, in vaults, near electrical cabinets or switch gear. Additional features and benefits include a thicker, sturdier hook than most competitive models (which is less likely to break), a Hi-Viz yellow color at the top of the telescopic handle that provides added visibility and a “No-Twist” triangular design that allows the telescopic handle to remain in a locked position when fully retracted.
Electrical safety is a particular strength of Saf-T-Gard as its Voltgard division operates as an offsite NAIL4PET-accredited test lab for numerous utilities, telecom companies, contractors, municipalities and industrial facilities nationwide. Moreover, as a leading manufacturer and distributor of rubber insulating products, arc flash safety clothing and kits, grounding equipment and testing services, Voltgard is dedicated to serving those where worker safety and protection from electrical current are critically important.
The RESCUE-8T tool is not intended for use as a device to raise conductive equipment such as electrical cords, measuring tapes or antennas to elevated positions. Serious or fatal shock may occur if conductive accessories come into contact with electrical power lines. All sections must be fully extended and all lock buttons must be fully locked before use. Each section of the handle can be individually removed for operation, cleaning and repair by depressing the lock button from its locked position and sliding the sections apart.
