Protect Your Team at Heights with Climbing Helmets: ANSI-Certified and Mips® Equipped
When it comes to working at heights or in confined spaces, protecting your head from impact hazards is crucial. Whether it’s construction, powerline work, or confined space entry, ensuring the highest level of safety for your crew should always be a top priority.
That’s why Traverse Construction Climbing Helmets are designed with advanced technology to offer superior protection, comfort, and reliability, all while meeting rigorous safety standards.
The Challenge of Head Protection at Heights
Working at heights introduces risks that go beyond typical job sites. Falls, flying debris, and other hazards make head protection essential for reducing the likelihood of serious injury. The challenge is not only to protect against impacts from above but also to mitigate the effects of lateral and rotational impacts. Traditional hard hats simply don’t offer this level of protection.
Enter the Traverse™ Climbing Helmet – Built for Superior Protection
The Traverse Construction Climbing Helmet isn’t your standard hard hat. It’s designed with both the comfort and safety of the worker in mind. The helmet’s ABS lightweight shell provides exceptional protection without compromising wearability, and the integrated EPS foam liner adds a critical layer of impact absorption. But what truly sets it apart is the Mips® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) Technology, which redefines head protection.
What is Mips® Technology?
Mips® is a game-changing advancement in industrial safety helmets. In the event of an angled impact, this low-friction layer inside the helmet allows your head to move slightly (about 10mm to 15mm) relative to the helmet. This redirection of rotational forces can significantly reduce the risk of brain injuries, adding another layer of protection not found in traditional helmets.
Simply put, the Mips® system is designed to reduce the harmful rotational motion transferred to your head, offering the next level of safety in hazardous work environments.
Additional Features That Make Traverse Helmets Stand Out
Beyond the cutting-edge Mips® technology, the Traverse Helmet includes a number of features that make it the ideal choice for workers at heights:
- Ultra-Lightweight ABS Shell – Engineered to be tough but lightweight, reducing fatigue during long hours of wear.
- EPS Foam Impact Liner – Absorbs and disperses impact forces from all angles (front, side, and rear), ensuring maximum protection.
- 4-Point Chin Strap – Adjustable with a quick-release buckle for a secure and comfortable fit, keeping the helmet in place even in the most active work environments.
- SURE-LOCK Wheel Ratchet Suspension – This rugged, non-slip adjustable ratchet ensures a perfect fit for all head sizes, making sure the helmet stays put under any conditions.
- Comfort Padding – Above the brow line padding ensures comfort for long-term wear, preventing pressure points.
ANSI & EN Certified for Maximum Safety
The Traverse Helmet meets the rigorous requirements of ANSI Z89.1-2014 Type II, Class E standards, providing protection against both top-of-head impacts and lateral (side) impacts, along with high-voltage electrical insulation. It also meets EN12492 clauses 4.2, which are the European safety standards for helmets used in mountaineering, giving you confidence that the helmet can handle the most demanding tasks.
Why Traverse Helmets Are a Must-Have for Your Team
Safety professionals understand that not all helmets are created equal. The Traverse Construction Climbing Helmet is designed to meet the specific challenges of working at heights, with the ultimate goal of reducing injuries on the job. Its combination of innovative technology, comfortable design, and strict adherence to safety standards makes it a smart investment in your team’s safety.
By choosing a helmet with Mips® technology, you’re not just meeting the minimum safety requirements—you’re exceeding them, giving your workers the best protection available.
