Product Overview
The Anti-Vibration B600 PU Mechanical Glove is a specialist piece of hand protection designed specifically to mitigate the long-term health risks associated with Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS). Many heavy-duty gloves offer protection at the cost of tactile feedback, but this glove manages to balance high-level safety with the precision required for professional trades. By focusing on a streamlined profile, it allows the wearer to operate complex machinery with confidence, ensuring that safety does not come at the expense of productivity.
Key Features
- Shock-Absorbing Palm Material: The integrated palm padding is engineered to dampen the impact and frequency of vibrations, protecting the delicate nerves and blood vessels in the hand during prolonged tool use.
- Highest Level Dexterity (Level 5): Achieving the maximum rating for dexterity, these gloves ensure you can handle small components and operate controls without needing to remove your protection.
- Low-Bulk Construction: Unlike traditional vibration-reduction gloves that can feel cumbersome, the B600 uses advanced materials to provide protection in a lightweight, slim profile.
- Elasticated Fit: The inclusion of elastic in the fabric composition ensures the glove remains secure on the hand, preventing slippage during high-intensity mechanical work.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a sophisticated blend of Nylon, Polyester, and Polyurethane, this glove is designed for the rigours of the modern construction site. The Nylon and Polyester base provides a lightweight and breathable fit that conforms to the shape of the hand, while the Polyurethane (PU) coating offers excellent grip and abrasion resistance. Despite its lightweight feel, the glove is remarkably durable, standing up to the abrasive surfaces encountered when handling machinery and raw materials.
The performance of this glove is defined by its ability to absorb energy. When operating high-frequency tools, the shock-absorbing layer acts as a buffer between the machine and the operator, significantly reducing the physical strain on the hands and arms over a full shift.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or heat-applied logos, on the Anti-Vibration B600 Glove. This is a technical piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed to meet specific safety certifications. Introducing needlework could compromise the structural integrity of the fabric and the vibration-dampening properties, while heat-pressing logos could damage the specialised shock-absorbing materials in the palm. To ensure your safety is never compromised, we supply these gloves in their original, tested form.
Use Cases
These gloves are an essential requirement for professionals operating jackhammers, concrete breakers, or heavy-duty masonry drills. They are also highly effective for those working in demolition, road maintenance, or any environment where power tools generate significant hand-arm vibration. Because they maintain a high level of dexterity, they are also suitable for mechanical maintenance tasks that involve vibrating components.

Practical Advice
For the vibration-dampening features to work effectively, it is vital to select the correct size. A glove that is too large will allow the internal padding to shift, reducing its effectiveness, while a glove that is too tight may restrict circulation and increase the impact of vibrations. We recommend checking the fit across the palm and ensures the elasticated cuff sits comfortably at the wrist without constriction.
Caring for your product
To maintain the protective qualities of your mechanical gloves, regular maintenance is essential. We recommend wiping the gloves with a damp cloth to remove grit and debris after each use. Accumulated dirt can act as an abrasive, wearing down the PU coating and reducing the lifespan of the glove.
Avoid the use of harsh chemical solvents or bleach during cleaning, as these can degrade the synthetic fibres and the shock-absorbing properties of the palm. For the same reason, these gloves should not be tumble dried; heat can cause the elastic and PU elements to warp or become brittle. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to maintain their shape and protective function.
