Not every task requires cut-rated gloves. When the primary hazard is impact, dropped objects, pinch points, contact with hard surfaces, the Granberg 5502 provides targeted protection at a significantly lower cost than cut-and-impact combination gloves.
Flexible TPR impact guards cover the metacarpals and knuckles, absorbing energy from impacts without restricting finger movement. The nitrile foam palm coating provides breathable grip in dry, wet, and lightly oily conditions. A nylon and spandex liner maintains tactile sensitivity for tasks requiring dexterity.
Sanitized® antimicrobial treatment reduces odour and bacteria growth, important for gloves worn through full shifts in warm environments.
EN 388:2016+A1:2018 (4131XP), abrasion 4, cut 1, tear 3, puncture 1, impact P (pass). Strong abrasion resistance with verified impact absorption.
Warehousing, logistics, general construction, building maintenance, and assembly lines. Tasks where hands are exposed to crushing or pinching hazards but sharp-edge cut risk is low.
In warehouse operations, forklift operators and material handlers dealing with heavy crates and pallets find the 5502 cushions impacts effectively while maintaining the finger dexterity needed for scanning, paperwork, and equipment controls.
By removing the cut-resistant liner, the 5502 achieves a lower price per pair than combined cut-and-impact gloves, making it practical for high-volume environments where gloves are consumed quickly.
