Harnesses and Helmets ranging from 130 to 310 pounds under ANSI and up to 425 pounds under OSHA.
Starke Deluxe
The Starke Deluxe safety harness is designed to support both safety and comfort where it’ s critical, helping reduce fatigue with ultra-comfortable shoulder and back padding while meeting key industry safety standards.
Constructed with polyester webbing and a steel dorsal D-ring positioned on the back, the harness is rated to handle workers up to 420 pounds. Leg straps use tongue buckles, and chest straps use mating buckles, providing a secure and adjustable fit across a range of body sizes, from small to 3XL. The padding on the shoulders and back helps distribute weight evenly, which can ease strain during extended lifts or complex crane operations.
The harness meets ANSI A10.32 and Z359.11 standards, OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.140 regulations and CSA Z259.10A requirements, ensuring compliance for both U. S. and Canadian worksites. Its design emphasizes both safety and practical usability, supporting operators who need to move freely while maintaining full-body protection.
Palmer Safety Hammerhead
Working at height demands both protection and mobility, and the Palmer Safety Hammerhead construction harness is built with crane operators and construction crews in mind. Designed for demanding worksites, it combines a full range of safety features with a comfort-focused design to help reduce fatigue during long shifts.
The harness includes a fall arrest dorsal D-ring at the center back, a personal SRL tunnel plate for self-retracting lifelines and a built-in, padded construction belt with side D-rings for secure work positioning. Five-point adjustability, across the chest, shoulders, waist and legs, ensures a customizable fit, while tongue-and-buckle leg straps and a quick-connect chest buckle allow fast, secure adjustments. Breakaway lanyard keepers help manage unused lanyard legs, reducing the risk of snagging, and moisture-wicking padding keeps operators cooler under heavy workloads. Built-in fall indicators provide a visual check to identify impact loads and maintain safety compliance.
Constructed from 1.73-inch high-tenacity polyester webbing with heavy-duty stitching and alloy steel hardware, the harness supports users weighing 130 to 420 pounds. It meets ANSI Z359.11- 2021 and OSHA safety standards, offering reliable fall protection across a variety of high-risk tasks.
Helmets
RADIX Vented
Comfort and safety often go hand in hand when working at height, and the RADIX Vented safety helmet is designed to meet both needs. Its LUX Suspension system and ForgeLock magnetic chinstrap provide a secure, adjustable fit, allowing operators to focus on the task at hand without constant readjustments. The oversized ratcheting dial makes size changes easy, even with gloves on, and accommodates head sizes from 6 ½ to 8.
Twelve ventilation channels and a DualZone air-mesh liner keep airflow moving, while a moisture-wicking, antimicrobial interior helps manage heat and sweat during long shifts. The helmet’ s exclusive Brim Grip design ensures a stable hold during adjustments, even in wet or slick conditions.
The RADIX also offers integrated accessory compatibility, with six built-in attachment points that work with headlamps, hearing protection and other modular gear. This adaptability allows operators to tailor their helmets to the demands of their work sites without sacrificing safety or comfort.
Constructed with high-quality materials, the helmet weighs roughly 495 grams( 1.09 pounds) and is designed for a service life of three to five years, though daily inspections are recommended to assess wear.
