PowerForce
Lifting Straps

Ideal sling for lifting concrete parts with a rough surface or steel beams with sharp edges of more than 2 mm, without the need for additional protection.

Highly cut and wear-resistant lifting gear made from HMPE [ high-modulus polyethylene ]

With its ever-expanding range of applications, the new PowerForce lifting strap is the ideal sling for the construction industry and mechanical engineering.

Sometimes, you need to lift a precast concrete part with a rough surface, directly followed by a roof component or steel beam with extremely small edge radii. The PowerForce lifting strap is capable of withstanding any edge radius of more than 2 mm, even when dealing with the widest variety of mechanical components.

Increased safety, longer service life

Made out of extremely cut and tear-resistant high-performance fabric (high-modulus polyethylene).
No need additional protection when fastened around sharp edges with a radius of more than 2 mm!
*Protective sleeve is required for the commonly used two-layer lifting straps when the edge radius is still as big as 6 mm.
Low elasticity of the fabric is also a plus point – it ensures lifting force is quickly generated and allows for good control of the lifting manoeuvre.

Well thought-out seam construction

Computer-controlled sewing machines ensure a consistently high seam quality – proudly Made in Germany.
The main seam (box seam) in PowerForce lifting straps, sewn in black thread, is very small and therefore space-saving, which leaves a larger contact area for the load than with conventional lifting straps of similar length.
Black thread on a white fabric makes visual inspections easier.

Robust, tear-resistant label with RFID tag

Equipped with a tear-resistant quality label with an RFID transponder.
Designed based on the EN 1492-1 standard, which applies to polyester lifting straps, amongst other things.
*We say “based on” because the standard does not take HMPE into account, since the fabric and the label are in white.

Certified and Tested quality

Examined and tested the cut resistance of PowerForce lifting straps in both laboratory tests and field trials.
Subjected to alternating stress testing in which they were loaded up to capacity on a 2 mm edge radius 20,000 times.
Enormous cut resistance and in the subsequent residual strength testing, the safety factor of 7 prescribed in the standard for production controls on new lifting straps (without shackles) was reached, surprising even the developer.

Confirmed by DNV Gl (Det Norske Veritas Germanischer Lloyd).

Reinforced selvedge

Integrated selvedge means that the outer edges of PowerForce lifting straps are reliably protected.

Extra convenience

A combination of D1 and D2 shackles (pass-through shackles) is available especially for use when hitching up a load.

PowerForce lifting strap variants

The new lifting straps are available as single-layer looped lifting straps 1, with D1 shackles at either end 2, with a D2 shackle at one end and D1 shackle at the other end 3 or as single-layer band loops 4.

PowerForce lifting straps are manufactured based on DIN EN 1492-1.

The load capacity colour coding is based on the colour coding in EN 1492-1 and is shown by coloured marking 5 on the loops and by plainly visible patches.
