Cliff Lockyer, CEO of Redbacks Cushioning Limited said: “We are naturally delighted that so many distributors around the World are recognising the many extra health and safety benefits of our unique knee pads and the sales potential they offer.  It is great news that such an established, specialist and professional organisation as ‘Look Floors’ are keen to equip their own staff, and workforces within the flooring trade throughout New Zealand with our products; a much valued endorsement, adding further to our rising international acclaim”.

Redbacks, an award winning, non-foam based, work-trouser pocketed, safety knee pad, maintains its maximum cushioning effect throughout consecutive or prolonged use which helps avoid potential serious injury such as osteoarthritis or even knee replacement.

The kneepads, which are winners of the ‘2012 SATRA Best Innovation in Occupational PPE Award’ and nominated for ‘top product’  awards by leading UK trade media over recent months, feature a soft and flexible TPE (Thermo Plastic Elastomer) leaf-spring set within a unique honeycomb matrix.

This unique ‘Redbacks Cushioning Technology’ distributes body weight evenly, elevating the knees to relieve back pain and reduce pressure on knee, leg, ankle and foot joints, whilst minimising the risk of possible injury from sharp or penetrating objects.  A new shell strapped version will be available early Summer this year (2015).
