LIFT Knee Guards: Jobsite Knee Protection, Comfort, and Injury Prevention

Some building trades require one to work on their hands and knees to get the job done. Tile setters, electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and other construction trades often require one to spend countless hours kneeling on hard surfaces.

Over time—and if ignored too long—excessive kneeling can result in extreme pain, discomfort, and even injury. Knee guards provide a layer of cushion when kneeling and help prevent the long-term effects of working on one's knees.

These include prepatellar bursitis (aka, 'carpenter's knee'), patellar tendonitis (aka, 'jumper's knee'), osteoarthritis, sprained ligaments, cartilage tears, and other injuries resulting from excessive kneeling.

By choosing a quality pair of knee pads, you'll be able to work more comfortably and recover from existing injuries quicker while adding a long-term layer of injury prevention. It is imperative for those who work on their knees to wear a quality pair of knee guards. Your knees will thank you.

In the following, we introduce a few of the knee protection models offered by LIFT Safety and highlight some of the key benefits of each.

LIFT Knee Protection: Purpose-Built for Hard Work

LIFT Safety's knee pad line uses innovative materials to maximize comfort, stability, and protection. Whether it's the Apex Gel with internal gel inserts that conform to the patella or the Pivotal Hard Shell with EVA padding and polypropylene kneecap, LIFT has seven (7) purpose-built knee protection models to choose from for the many varied work environments.

The Apex Gel is LIFT's flagship knee guard that uses an internal gel insert that molds to the patella and kneecap for a more custom fit. The adjustable two-strap design resists slippage and features a removable hinged upper support strap to help prevent binding. Available in Standard, Hardshell, and Non-Marring versions.

Key Features

• Internal gel insert forms to the patella and kneecap
• Adjustable two-strap design resists slipping
• Removable hinged upper support strap prevents binding
• Kneecap materials maximize traction and stability on all surfaces
• Ballistic nylon construction resists abrasion and increases durability
• Designed to prevent movement or roll-off on hard surfaces

Apex Variations

• Standard (Model KAX-0K) –  Textured Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) kneecap maximizes traction and stability on all surfaces
• Hardshell (Model KAH-15K) –  Polypropylene (PP) kneecap provides protection and a stable platform
• Non-Marring (Model KAN-15K) –  Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) kneecap prevents marring and scuffing of surfaces
