Product Overview
In the modern logistics and distribution landscape, the ability to transition between manual handling and digital interfaces is a necessity rather than a luxury. The Grip 13 PVC Dotted Touchscreen Glove is engineered to bridge this gap. Designed specifically for high-intensity environments such as warehouses and fulfilment centres, these gloves provide the mechanical protection required for shifting stock while maintaining the tactile sensitivity needed for scanning and data entry.
By integrating conductive technology directly into the fingertips, these gloves eliminate the frequent 'on-off' cycle that hampers productivity and leads to misplaced PPE. The addition of PVC dots across the palm ensures that whether you are handling heavy cardboard or delicate electronics, your grip remains secure and controlled.
Key Features
- Integrated Touchscreen Fingertips: This feature allows for the precise operation of tablets and hand-held scanners, ensuring that digital workflows are never interrupted by the need to remove safety equipment.
- PVC Dotted Palm: The strategically placed dots significantly increase friction and surface contact, providing a superior grip that reduces the risk of dropped items and hand fatigue during long shifts.
- Expert Material Blend: Utilising a sophisticated mix of polyester, acrylic, and steel fibre, the glove offers a balance of warmth, breathability, and structural integrity that holds up under daily professional use.
- Elasticated Fit: The inclusion of elastic ensures a snug, secure fit around the wrist, preventing debris from entering the glove and ensuring the touchscreen tips remain correctly aligned with the fingers.
Design & Performance
The performance of the A118 series is rooted in its technical composition. The base fabric is a lightweight but resilient knit that provides excellent dexterity. Unlike standard woollen gloves, the inclusion of steel fibre within the weave not only assists with touchscreen conductivity but also adds a layer of reinforced durability to the fabric structure.
The White and Grey colourway provides a professional aesthetic that is easily visible in low-light warehouse aisles. Despite its lightweight feel, the glove is designed for longevity; the acrylic and polyester fibres are chosen for their ability to withstand the abrasive nature of handling packaging materials and crates without premature thinning.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation, such as print or embroidery, on these specific gloves to ensure their functional integrity is maintained. The surface of the glove is heavily textured with PVC dots which would prevent a clean print finish, and the high-stretch nature of the fabric blend means that embroidery would likely cause puckering and compromise the touchscreen conductivity. Furthermore, as an item of PPE, maintaining the original manufacturer specifications is essential for safety compliance.
Use Cases
These gloves are the primary choice for warehouse operatives, delivery drivers, and logistics coordinators who rely on touch-sensitive terminals for inventory management. They are equally effective for light assembly work where precision and grip are paramount, or for cold-storage environments where a base layer of hand protection is required while operating machinery.
Why MyWorkwear
MyWorkwear has been a cornerstone of the UK workwear industry since 1976. Based in Telford, our decades of experience allow us to curate a selection of PPE that meets the genuine needs of British tradespeople. We understand that efficiency in the workplace is built on the quality of your equipment, and we only stock items that meet our rigorous standards for durability and performance.
Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure a snug fit; any excess material at the fingertips will reduce the accuracy of the touchscreen functionality. For those working in particularly cold environments, these gloves can also serve as an effective liner under heavier industrial gloves, though this will naturally bypass the touchscreen feature unless the outer layer is also compatible.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the cleanliness of your gloves is vital for preserving both the grip of the PVC dots and the sensitivity of the touchscreen tips. Accumulation of dust and oils can create a barrier that reduces the effectiveness of the conductive fibres, so regular inspection is recommended.
To preserve the elastic and steel fibre components, avoid exposing the gloves to high heat during cleaning or drying. High temperatures can cause the elastic to perish, leading to a loose fit, and may damage the PVC dots, causing them to become brittle and peel. We recommend following the manufacturer's specific instructions found on the internal label to ensure the longest possible lifespan for your hand protection.
