Malta Dynamics 4-Point Ratchet Cap Style Hard Hat
The Malta Dynamics cap-style hard hat pairs a rugged, lightweight polyethylene shell with a 4-point ratchet suspension for reliable top-impact protection and all-day comfort. It is built and tested to ANSI Z89.1 Type 1 Class E and Class G, so one hard hat covers both electrical and general jobsite work.
The ratchet headband adjusts to a secure, custom fit with the turn of a dial, and front and rear vertical height adjustment, cushion pillows, and a nape cushion keep the hat comfortable through a full shift. Available in five high-visibility colors, this cap style is manufactured in an ISO 9001 registered facility and made in the USA.

Who Needs This Product
This cap style hard hat is head protection for crews exposed to falling or flying objects and overhead impact hazards on construction, utility, and general industry jobsites. Its Class E rating adds dielectric protection against accidental head contact with energized conductors up to 20,000 volts, while the Class G rating covers everyday general-service work. It is sold here in multi-unit color packs so a crew can be outfitted from a single order.

A hard hat protects only when it is worn correctly and undamaged. Keep the suspension installed and properly adjusted, never carry items between the shell and suspension, and never drill, paint, or modify the shell. Replace any hard hat that has taken an impact, shows cracks or chalking, or has reached the manufacturer's service life, and follow the user manual for storage away from heat and sunlight.
