A TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) sleeve for pushcart handles is a durable, ergonomic grip cover designed to enhance comfort, safety, and longevity. It provides a non-slip, shock-absorbing surface for easy handling while resisting wear, weather, and frequent use in commercial or industrial settings. Key Features & Benefits ✔ Superior Grip – Textured or ribbed surface prevents slipping, even with wet/sweaty hands. ✔ Weather & UV Resistant – Withstands rain, sun, and extreme temps (-40°C to 90°C / -40°F to 194°F). ✔ Abrasion-Proof – Outlasts rubber/PVC with 3–5x longer lifespan in high-friction use. ✔ Shock Absorption – Reduces hand fatigue during prolonged pushing/pulling. ✔ Easy Installation – Slides over handles or integrates with replacement grips. Material Advantages Property TPV Rubber (Comparison) Weight 20% lighter Heavier Tear Strength Higher Prone to cracking Maintenance Low (no oil absorption) Attracts dust/dirt Applications Shopping Carts – Grocery stores, warehouses.
