Portwest Helmet Visor Holder

Product Overview

The PS58BKR Helmet Visor Holder is a precision-engineered accessory designed to bridge the gap between head protection and facial safety. Manufactured from high-impact ABS, this holder is designed specifically for those who require a modular approach to their personal protective equipment. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with Endurance and Height Endurance helmets, providing a secure foundation for protective visors without compromising the structural integrity of the headwear.

Key Features

• Universal 30mm Slot: This European-standard sizing ensures the holder is compatible with a wide range of professional headwear, allowing for easy installation and a reliable fit across different helmet models.
• Stand-Off Position: The clever mechanical design allows the visor to be moved into a stand-off position when not in immediate use, providing the wearer with better ventilation and visibility without needing to remove the equipment entirely.
• Simultaneous PPE Integration: The architecture of the holder is specifically designed to allow for the simultaneous use of clip-on ear-muffs, ensuring that your hearing and facial protection do not compete for space on your helmet.
• Broad Visor Compatibility: Engineered to work perfectly with PW92, PW94, and PW99 replacement visors, offering a versatile solution for various site requirements.

Design & Performance

Constructed from ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), this holder is built to withstand the rigours of a busy worksite. ABS is favoured for its exceptional toughness and impact resistance, ensuring that the visor remains firmly attached even in demanding environments. Despite its sturdy construction, the holder is remarkably lightweight, ensuring that it adds negligible bulk to your helmet setup and helps to prevent user fatigue during long shifts.

The performance of the PS58BKR is rooted in its mechanical reliability. The pivot points are designed to be smooth yet firm, ensuring that the visor stays exactly where you put it—whether that is in the active protection position or tucked away in the stand-off position.

Why No Customisation?

As this is a critical safety accessory designed for head and face protection, we do not offer customisation or branding on this item. Modifying the surface of safety-critical ABS components with heat or chemical-based printing processes could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the material or interfere with the mechanical movement of the visor. In the interest of maintaining the highest safety standards, this product is supplied in its original, tested form.

Use Cases

This visor holder is an essential component for professionals across several high-risk industries. It is particularly suited for construction workers, tree surgeons, and electricians who frequently operate in environments where falling debris or sparks necessitate both head and face protection. Plumbers and mechanics will also find the modular design beneficial when working in confined spaces where the ability to toggle a visor up and down is a distinct advantage.

Practical Advice

When installing the PS58BKR, ensure that the 30mm clips are fully seated in the helmet slots; you should hear a distinct click to confirm a secure attachment. We recommend pairing this holder with the correct visor model (PW92, PW94, or PW99) to ensure there are no gaps in protection. If you are using ear-muffs, attach the visor holder first to ensure the best possible fitment for all components.

Caring for your product

Maintaining the mechanical performance of your visor holder is straightforward but essential for long-term reliability on site.

This accessory is manufactured from rigid ABS plastic and should never be subjected to domestic washing or tumble drying. The high temperatures and mechanical agitation of a washing machine would likely warp the plastic and damage the tension in the clips, rendering the holder unsafe for use. Should you decide to ignore this and toss it in the wash, you will find it fits neither your helmet nor your expectations.

Do not use bleach or aggressive solvent-based cleaners on this product. Harsh chemicals can cause 'stress cracking' in the ABS material, which leads to sudden failure when under load. To clean the holder, simply use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent to remove grease and dust. Avoid ironing at all costs; ABS is a thermoplastic, and the application of an iron will result in a very flat, very useless piece of plastic and a ruined household appliance.
