Rigger Industrial Gloves

Rigger industrial gloves

Rigger industrial gloves are specialized work gloves designed for heavy-duty tasks in industries such as construction, oil and gas, mining, and manufacturing. These gloves are known for their robust construction, durability, and protection against various hazards encountered in rugged work environments.

Features

• Rigger gloves are typically made from high-quality leather, such as cowhide or goatskin, known for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to abrasions.
• Some modern rigger gloves may incorporate synthetic materials like nylon or polyester for enhanced flexibility and moisture resistance.
• Rigger gloves often feature an extended cuff that provides additional wrist protection and helps keep debris out.
• The palms and fingers of these gloves are reinforced with additional layers of leather or synthetic materials to enhance grip and durability.
• Some models include padded or reinforced knuckle protection to guard against impacts and abrasions.
• In colder climates, rigger gloves may include a thermal lining, such as fleece or Thinsulate™, to provide insulation and warmth.
• Many gloves have moisture-wicking properties to keep hands dry and comfortable during prolonged use.
• An elastic wrist closure or hook-and-loop (Velcro) strap ensures a secure fit and helps prevent debris from entering the glove.

Benefits

• Rigger gloves offer robust protection against cuts, abrasions, punctures, and impacts encountered during heavy-duty tasks.
• Constructed from durable materials, these gloves are designed to withstand rugged conditions and frequent use.
• Despite their heavy-duty design, rigger gloves provide comfort through ergonomic design features and flexibility that allow for dexterity and ease of movement.
• Suitable for a wide range of applications, including handling construction materials, operating machinery, forestry work, and general maintenance tasks.

Applications

• Handling heavy materials, operating power tools, and performing tasks that require hand protection against sharp objects and rough surfaces.
• Used in drilling operations, rig maintenance, and handling pipes and equipment in challenging environments.
• Protecting hands from abrasions, cuts, and impacts when handling mining equipment and materials.
• Used on assembly lines, warehouses, and production facilities where hand protection and dexterity are critical.

Maintenance

• Regularly clean gloves with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris. Allow them to air dry thoroughly before reuse.
• Check gloves regularly for signs of wear, tears, or damage. Replace gloves that are no longer providing adequate protection.
• Store gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemicals to prolong their lifespan.
