FELCO 711 - Professional Gel Cushion Knee Pads - Comfort Hinge - Non-Slip Protection for Viticulture & Landscaping

FELCO 711 - Professional Gel Cushion Knee Pads - Comfort Hinge - Non-Slip Viticulture & Landscaping Protection

Hours spent kneeling between vine rows, garden beds, or paved pathways place serious stress on knees and lower back. The FELCO 711 knee pads use an articulating comfort hinge that flexes with natural leg movement, keeping protection in place without the constant slip common on rigid pads.

Dual-layer gel foam and high-density EVA distribute weight evenly and absorb impact on rough terrain. The 420D nylon and rubber cap face resists punctures and grips wet grass, gravel, and concrete, while breathable neoprene straps with locking buckles and hook-and-loop fasteners prevent bunching behind the knee during warm Australian shifts.

Best For: Professional vine pruners, commercial landscapers, greenkeepers, and dedicated gardeners who need all-day joint support and stable, non-slip knee protection on uneven or damp terrain.

Key Features:

• Comfort Hinge Technology: Articulating hinge aligns with knee biomechanics for uncompromised mobility between walking and kneeling.
• Dual-Layer Gel Foam & EVA Cushioning: Combines gel foam and high-density EVA to distribute weight and absorb floor impact.
• Slip-Resistant 420D Nylon-Rubber Cap: Rugged outer cap resists punctures and grips wet grass, gravel, mud, and concrete.
• Dual-Zone Secure Strap System: Locking buckle and hook-and-loop elastic straps positioned high and low prevent pad shift.
• Breathable Neoprene Strapping: Promotes airflow and ventilation, minimising sweating and chafing in warm conditions.
• Lightweight Ergonomic Footprint: 460 g per pair with 300 mm protective coverage without unnecessary bulk.

Primary Field & Utility Applications

• Vineyard & Grove Pruning: Joint cushioning during low-level vineyard pruning, cane tying, and olive grove maintenance.
• Landscaping & Turf Work: Protection on sharp stones, damp soil, and gravel during turf laying, weeding, and paving prep.
• Nursery & Domestic Maintenance: Extended potting sessions, brick paving, patio tiling, and property upkeep.

Pro Tip & Maintenance: Hand-wash neoprene straps and air-dry away from direct heat to preserve elasticity. Check buckle engagement before each shift; loose straps are the primary cause of pad migration. Rotate pad position slightly during long sessions to redistribute pressure points.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
