Description

PIONEER Tough Rigger – G147

The PIONEER Tough Rigger – G147 represents an upgraded evolution of the traditional rigger glove, specifically tailored for the South African mining and heavy engineering sectors. Unlike standard variants, the G147 utilizes a superior grade of grain leather, offering enhanced resistance to water, oil, and puncture compared to split-leather alternatives. This model is designed for South African contractors and riggers who operate in harsh, unpredictable environments where maintaining a secure grip on greasy cables and metallic surfaces is critical for site safety and operational efficiency.

Technical Specifications:

• Primary Material: High-tenacity grain cow leather for maximum durability and natural liquid resistance.
• Backing Material: Reinforced yellow cotton drill for high visibility and structural support.
• Impact Protection: Integrated leather knuckle bar to shield against scrapes and minor dorsal impacts.
• Palm Construction: Premium grain leather palm with a double-stitched reinforced patch in high-wear zones.
• Cuff Design: Extra-stiff rubberized safety cuff to provide stability and forearm protection.
• Comfort Lining: Half-lined with soft cotton fleece to improve internal grip and manage perspiration.

Compliance & Standards:

• EN 388:2016: 4143X (Maximum Abrasion resistance with high Tear and Puncture ratings).
• SANS 1228: Compliant with South African National Standards for heavy-duty leather safety gear.
• CE Category II: Certified for protection against intermediate mechanical risks in industrial settings.
• EN 420: General requirements for protective glove construction and ergonomic performance.

Ideal Application: Primary use case includes heavy rigging, cable pulling in mining operations, structural steel erection, and industrial waste handling throughout South Africa.
