Description

Textile shackle – High load HMPE

The high-strength textile shackle is an ultra-lightweight, high-modulus polyethylene connection system for heavy loads. Choose your product according to its breaking load.

Reliable, lightweight and easy to install. Hand-made in our Concarneau workshops.

Our textile connectors are made from high-modulus polyethylene braid. The Rope forms an eye at one end and a button knot that acts as a stop at the other.

Historically designed for fastening deck fittings and attaching halyards and sheets in the sailing world, the concept of textile fiber hangers is now used in many fields, including industry, shipping, 4 x 4s…

• Technical expertise and know-how: mass production, tested and approved resistance
• High strength: the high-quality UHMWPE textile structure guarantees incomparable lightness and excellent abrasion resistance
• Optimized production: lower manufacturing costs
• Made 100% in France

 

What is HMPE:

UHMWPE stands for Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene. This pretty name designates the “generic” version of Dyneema®. Like Kleenex, Scotch or Frigos, Dyneema is a trade name, much sexier than ” high-modulus polyethylene “, the petroleum-based fiber it refers to.

Our textile connectors are made from high-modulus polyethylene braid. The Rope forms an eye at one end and a button knot that acts as a stop at the other.
