High-tenacity webbing

High-tenacity polyester webbing

Thicker yarn, packed much tighter, with a coloured line woven in so your floor can tell the grade apart at a glance. This is the load-bearing one — harness, slings and cargo straps.

Heavy yellow and black high-tenacity polyester webbing

What it is

Where the strength comes from

Two things make this webbing strong: the yarn itself is a high-tenacity grade, and there is far more of it per centimetre than in an ordinary tape. Thickness alone does not do it — a thick, loosely woven tape stretches and then tears.

Every lot is pulled on a tensile machine and the figure is written on a certificate that travels with the goods. The breaking strength quoted is for the widest size in the range.

Tell us the real load you need to carry. An over-specified webbing costs around 40% more than it needs to, and we would rather sell you the right one twice than the wrong one once.

Ordering

What an order looks like

Colour

Dyed to your shade — a Pantone number, or a piece of the tape you use today. The whole order is dyed in one batch, so the last metre matches the first. Approval takes about five working days.

Quantity

Minimum 500 m per colour. A colour made specially for you carries a 3,000 m minimum for that colour. Widths outside the standard range are a fresh loom set-up, also from 3,000 m.

Packing and delivery

100 m to a roll on a paper core, or 25 m and 50 m spools if you sell it on. Standard lead time is 7–10 days up to 20,000 m, 12–15 days up to 50,000 m, and 18–22 days beyond that.
