FM5000 - Fibre-Metal Speedy Loop 5000 Helmet Adapter

Seamless Safety Integration for Industrial Environments

The Fibre-Metal 5000 Speedy Loop is an essential accessory for industrial professionals who require both head and face protection simultaneously. In many construction and fabrication environments, safety regulations mandate the use of hard hats alongside welding helmets or face shields. The Speedy Loop bridges the gap between these two critical pieces of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) by providing a secure, reliable mounting system. Unlike other adapters that may require drilling holes into the hard hat—potentially compromising its ANSI rating and structural integrity—the Speedy Loop utilizes a smart, external clamping mechanism that leaves the hard hat shell intact.

Designed with versatility in mind, the FM5000 is fully adjustable to fit a broad spectrum of hard hat styles, including Fibre-Metal’s own protective caps as well as those from other major manufacturers. This universality ensures that safety managers can standardize on a single attachment solution for their entire workforce, regardless of the specific hard hat brand in use. The installation process is intuitive and tool-free, allowing workers to quickly equip their gear without downtime. Once installed, the loop provides a sturdy anchor point for welding hoods and face shields, ensuring they remain stable during rigorous movement and overhead work.

Durability is a hallmark of the Fibre-Metal brand, and the Speedy Loop is no exception. Constructed from high-quality materials capable of withstanding heat, sparks, and impact, it is built to endure the harsh conditions of shipyards, steel mills, and construction sites. The mechanism allows for smooth pivoting, enabling the wearer to flip their protective visor or welding lens up when not in use, and snap it firmly back into place when hazards are present. By facilitating the comfortable combination of hard hats and face protection, the Fibre-Metal 5000 Speedy Loop enhances worker compliance and safety on the job.
