Thanks to the HIPORA® PU membrane, the Trust protective glove for technical assistance is windproof, waterproof and breathable. The additional reinforcement in the palm made of cow grain leather offers very high cut protection. The back of the hand is made of Spantex® and makes the protective glove comfortable to wear. For additional protection, there is a 3D silicone knuckle protector on the back of the hand.

The ELK 3.0 SHORT BLACK:

Black elk leather, PTFE moisture barrier, RFID chip

Your advantages:

The special suppleness of the processed elk leather and the unique glove cut guarantee fatigue-free work with optimum tactility.

t the start of this year's RETTmobil trade fair in Fulda, we launched two product innovations in the field of protective gloves for technical assistance: the HYPA GRIP RESCUE and the NEW DIMENSION RESCUE.

The HYPA GRIP RESCUE is the counterpart to our HYPA GRIP firefighting glove. It impresses with its particularly high wet grip, as a CSM-coated KEVLAR has been processed in the palm. It is one of the few - if not the only - textile protective glove for technical assistance on the market that has a wet grip. A special construction of 3D fingertips and pre-curved fingers increases tactility (dexterity)

During steel processing in a Slovenian steelworks, the addition of a substance to the boiling steel produces a jet flame about 3 m high, together with a strong cloud of smoke. An extraction system with a downstream filter unit should be the remedy.
As if that were not enough, the solution used had to withstand 700°C for a short time, as well as a negative pressure of 3,000 Pa and a fan output of 70,000 m³/h.

During the restoration of Germany's highest railroad bridge, the "Müngstener Brücke" between Solingen and Remscheid, new bridge bearings were installed. The unusually high number of 126 bridge bearings for a bridge requires safe and durable protection to ensure the functionality of the bridge bearings for the next 35 years.

Machines and salt - that doesn't last long. In the French salt mine, machines do not have a long service life due to the heavy exposure to salt. After a very short time, all the metal parts are eaten away by the salt.

To prevent constant corrosion of the greased telescopic arms of the newly purchased Ausa telescopic handlers, their telescopes were completely encased in bellows.

Heat, grease, dirt, extreme forces and sensitive components, the failure of which would result in disproportionately high costs. In the steel rolling mill, sheets weighing several tons are rolled down from 250 to, for example, 20 mm every minute. The final thickness of the sheets can be adjusted via the distance between the top and bottom rollers.

The heart of the EXPO 2000 world exhibition was the EXPO Plaza and the Bertelsmann pavilion "Planet M/ Media for People".

Inside, a multimedia journey through time awaited the visitors. They entered the sphere, which resembled a spaceship, via an elevator platform. This elevator platform is considered to be the largest passenger elevator in the world. 200 people could be transported at the same time. The total weight of the elevator was almost 50 tons. Four pistons lifted it upwards using oil hydraulics, surrounded by a "giant bellow".

When professionally cleaning roads and paths, particularly in rural areas, a wide variety of different types of heavy soiling are encountered. In the newly developed sweeper attachment, the two housing parts are now suspended so that they float in relation to each other and the collection container at the front, into which the dirt is swept, can move up and down depending on the surface. To achieve a good result, the two housing parts must be sealed towards the front in the direction of travel.

The "KRONE BIG X" is the latest innovation from the agricultural machinery manufacturer Krone. The "BIG X" promises more comfort when chopping thanks to an innovative cab lift, which the driver can raise by 70 cm at the touch of a button. This gives the driver a perfect overview of the crop or of the forwarding wagon in parallel operation or when chopping. Another advantage is the greater distance to the chopping unit, which has a positive effect on the noise level in the cab.

If a box truck and trailer are reversed up to a loading ramp, it can be completely loaded and unloaded without the driver having to uncouple the trailer. In refrigerated vehicles, the weak point is the transition between the trailer and the truck, as this is where the cold can escape through the open end walls, interrupting the cold chain. The cold chain is maintained by fitting a bellows. The bellows are concealed inside a rubber lip and are only extended pneumatically during the loading process. During the journey, the bellows are completely protected by the enclosure.

The manufacturer of electric passenger cars TESLA has expanded its production capacities in the course of the new "3" model. New production sites have also been opened in Germany.

In order to meet the increased demand for electric vehicles, investments have been made in particular to ensure a smooth production chain. In this context, the company relies on our slideway protectors for machine protection to minimize downtimes.

The results will now be handed over to the company as the client. August Penkert GmbH has received solutions that are based on the latest knowledge, are surprisingly creative and thus ensure the company's long-term competitiveness on the global market at low cost and risk.

There are 3.5 million companies in Germany, less than one percent of which conduct research - an extremely important group. Because only those who conduct research can discover new things and create innovation and growth. From 2014, the Stifterverband will be recognizing research-based companies for the special responsibility they assume for the state and society by awarding them the "Innovative through Research" seal.

Bernhard Penkert was honored for his 25-year membership of the VDSI (Association for Safety, Health and Environmental Protection at Work).

High service quality is very important to Berliner Stadtreinigung when it comes to its suppliers. Quality, delivery/performance reliability, service & communication, commercial aspects and innovative ability are evaluated.

Here we received the rating "very good".

The HERO BASIC GREEN model is the low-cost alternative to the HERO model, with the same mechanical strength values for the lower hand:

However, this model does without heat-resistant materials for the backhand (Spantex® instead of Nomex®) and the cuff (Neoprene® instead of Nomex®).

Our bellows normally protect moving machine parts to reduce wear and extend maintenance intervals. We have always believed that our bellows are also beautiful to look at.

However, we didn't know that bellows can also inspire as an art object - until a few weeks ago.

The BASIC GRIP 3.0 model is the new entry-level model among leather firefighting gloves.

The BASIC GRIP 3.0 firefighting glove is particularly comfortable to wear thanks to the use of supple cowhide leather.

Our TEX GRIP 3.0 model is not only better, but also more stylish. Thanks to the special construction of 3D fingertips and pre-curved fingers, we achieve increased dexterity. Kevlar materials are responsible for thermal and mechanical protection.

Together with the Broichstrom association and the Hochschule Ruhr West, we have planned to produce our own electricity with a photovoltaic system. We not only want to use this to power our building, but also our electric delivery vehicles in the future.
