Frequently Asked Questions
What does SB safety rating mean?
SB (Safety Basic) provides essential steel toe cap protection (200 Joules impact, 15,000 Newtons compression) under EN ISO 20345:2011. Unlike S1/S2/S3, it doesn't include antistatic properties or penetration resistant midsole—an economical choice for light industrial and warehouse environments.
What does HRO mean and what environments is it suitable for?
HRO (Heat Resistant Outsole) provides contact heat protection up to 300°C. Suitable for kitchens, light welding, and facilities with heated floors or equipment. For extreme heat environments like foundries, consider boots with higher safety ratings.
What does wide-fit mean and who should choose this boot?
Wide-fit provides extra room for workers with broader feet, bunions, or those preferring additional space. Generous room in the toe box and midfoot whilst maintaining a secure heel fit.
Does the Caterpillar Powerplant SB run true to size?
Yes, it fits true to size in the wide-fit specification. Order your regular UK size. If you wear thick work socks or have exceptionally broad feet, consider a half size up.
Is the Caterpillar Powerplant SB waterproof?
No, it's not waterproof. The leather upper provides some natural water resistance against light splashes, but for wet conditions or outdoor rain work, consider S3 boots with WR or WP designation.
