The ProGARM 2240 is a flame-resistant gel foam kneepad for ProGARM arc flash and FR garments. Cellular rubber construction, certified to EN ISO 11612 and EN 14404, protects knees during kneeling work on switchroom and plant floors. One size (145mm x 235mm), black, wash tested to ISO 15797.
ProGARM 2240 Gel Foam Kneepad
Kneeling is part of the job in most switchrooms and substations, whether you are terminating cables, working on low mounted equipment or inspecting floor level gear. The ProGARM 2240 is a flame-resistant gel foam kneepad from ProGARM, made to slot into the kneepad pockets on ProGARM arc flash and FR trousers, coveralls and bibs. It protects the knee without stripping out the flame and arc protection that the garment is there to provide.
ProGARM manufacture the pad from high-grade cellular rubber foam, certified to EN ISO 11612 for heat and flame protection. EN 14404 knee protection applies when the pad is worn with a ProGARM garment, and the manufacturer lists an open arc test rating of 9 cal/cm² (APC 1). That matters when you specify PPE against an arc flash study label rather than guessing.

Design Details That Matter
- Notched sides let the pad flex as you move, so it does not dig in or bunch behind the knee.
- Air holes through the foam reduce heat build-up during long kneeling tasks.
- Cellular rubber absorbs impact on concrete floors, gratings and cable trench covers.

FAQs
Do these kneepads keep the garment’s flame protection?
Yes. The pad is certified to EN ISO 11612 for heat and flame, and EN 14404 knee protection applies when it is worn with a ProGARM garment. The manufacturer also lists an open arc rating of 9 cal/cm² (APC 1), so it suits garments specified under an arc flash study.
Which clothing do ProGARM 2240 kneepads fit?
They are made for the kneepad pockets on ProGARM arc flash and FR trousers, coveralls and bib and brace garments. Pocket dimensions on other brands vary, so check the fit before you rely on them.
