KUANSHI SAFETY supplies cut-resistant gloves, lifting slings and cooling vests to importers and distributors. We are not a factory — we are the layer that makes sure the factory you buy from actually ships what you specified, with the test reports and declarations your customer will ask for.
Buying PPE from several factories means several spec sheets, several inspection processes and several things to chase when something is wrong. We consolidate the three categories that every industrial distributor moves anyway.
HPPE and UHMWPE knitted gloves, coated and uncoated, with optional TPR back-of-hand impact shields. Supplied with the EN 388 code printed on the label — and the matching test report in the box.
Flat woven webbing slings and polyester round slings from 1 t to 100 t, colour-coded to EN 1492 WLL, safety factor 7:1, with CE and UKCA declarations of conformity supplied per shipment.
The pocket vest that sells by the carton: sealed pockets, frozen packs, no power and no water. 8 to 24 packs per vest, gel or PCM, and hi-vis versions to EN ISO 20471 for regulated sites.
A glove that claims EN 388 4X42D but was tested to a different method is a liability, not a saving. A sling with a mislabelled WLL can drop a load. A cooling vest with 8 packs when your site needs three hours gets abandoned in week one.
These failures are not obvious at the container door. That is the gap we close: we translate your hazard description into a standard-correct specification, hold the manufacturer to it, and document it so you can answer your own customer's compliance questions.
How our sourcing worksSend us the hazard, the material, the glove or the load. We return a written specification with the standard reference, the test method and the marking you should expect on the label. You approve that before anyone opens a production order.
Our approved vendor pool is small on purpose. Each factory is qualified against a capability profile, then audited on lead time, labelling accuracy and consistency across batches. Two of them have been dropped for label errors alone.
Every shipment gets pre-shipment inspection against the written spec, photo evidence, and the document pack: test reports, declarations of conformity, packing lists and carton marks that match the paperwork.
We publish the standard rather than hide behind vague phrases like "industrial grade" or "heavy duty". If you cannot name the standard on the label, the product is not finished.
Abrasion, cut, tear, puncture and impact in one marking. We read the shield code on the label and check it against the report, because a correct-looking code is easy to print and easy to get wrong.
Read the A–F cut level guide →WLL by colour, safety factor, mode factors and effective working length. The label must carry the manufacturer ID, the standard, the WLL and a traceability code, or the sling has no documented identity.
Read the sling safety guide →Pack count, pack technology, recharge logistics and the standards that genuinely apply to cooling apparel — including the two EN standards that have nothing to do with it and are quoted on plenty of labels.
Read the cooling vest guide →A drawing, a reference sample, a standard code or a plain description of the hazard. Photos of the current product work fine.
Standard, performance levels, materials, dimensions, marking, packing and the certification documents that will ship with it. Nothing is ordered until you approve this.
Production samples for fit and feel. Where the standard requires it, we commission a third-party lab test so the report is independent of the factory.
Label accuracy, dimensions, colour and packaging are checked during the run, not only at the end. This is where most quality escapes are actually caught.
Full inspection against the approved spec, photo evidence, and the complete document pack: test reports, declarations of conformity, packing list, carton marks.
Gloves, slings and cooling vests loaded together in one container against one packing list — one receiving point for your customer, one set of documents to reconcile.
We are a sourcing and quality-control partner. We do not manufacture. Our value is that we qualify a small number of audited factories for each product family, specify the product to the standard you need, inspect it ourselves before loading, and take responsibility for the paperwork. If you need direct factory pricing without that layer, tell us and we will say so rather than pretend otherwise.
Gloves and cooling vests can start from 500 pieces per design on stocked programmes. Slings are sized by length and WLL, so minimums vary by configuration. Custom sizing, custom colours and private label printing carry higher minimums — we quote those once we know your annual volume.
Yes, and that is the point. Where a performance claim requires laboratory verification, we commission an independent test on the actual production material rather than relying on a factory's own paperwork. The report reference, the standard and the version date all appear on the product label so the paperwork and the goods are traceable to each other.
Yes. Custom labelling, printed sleeves, brand documentation packages and EAN or UPC codes are all normal requests. We can also build a specification file that a buying office can approve and reuse across seasons, so repeat orders are identical.
We work on T/T with 30% deposit and balance against copy of bill of lading as the default, with L/C at sight available for larger programmes. FOB and CIF from Shanghai or Nantong, with EXW and DDP quoted on request. We will quote the shipping options that make sense for your destination and your volume rather than defaulting to one.
PPE sold into the EU falls under Regulation (EU) 2016/425, which requires a Declaration of Conformity referencing the relevant harmonised standard and a notified body where the product is Category III. We supply the technical file, the DoC and the supporting test evidence. Category I products — most work gloves — self-certify, which is why the paperwork matters so much: it is the only thing that separates a compliant glove from a cheap one.
A photo of the current glove, the sling marking, or the hazard your customer is dealing with is enough to start. We reply within one business day, and the first reply will contain a specification rather than a price list.
