SpanSet History
Innovation is a constant in our company. The origin of the company is linked to innovation in safety, such as the first three-point car seat belt , designed by the Klippan company together with Volvo engineers . Since the 1960s, our international R&D departments, specialised by area, have not ceased to test materials, solutions and services to promote ever safer systems, with greater capacity and resistance.
Milestones
1966
Seatbelt
SpanSet founder and co-owner of Klippan, the company that designed the first universal seat belt together with Volvo engineers, applies the strength of polyester belts to lifting tasks. 3-point seat belt, fitted as standard. Current standard seat belt model.
1970
Cloverleaf slings
The first cloverleaf slings solved the difficulty of lifting products in bags.
1972
Endless round sling
The challenge of lifting greater weight was achieved with endless round slings . High-resistance fabric made up of an infinite number of thread cords and covered by a tubular sheath.

Color Codes
SpanSet was the first manufacturer to assign a color to each WLL, to quickly recognize the load capacity of the slings. This is now required by regulations.
1976
Secutex
Secutex is a highly wear-resistant polyurethane developed to lift components with sharp edges.
1986
Permanent Mark
The marking on the slings must be legible, otherwise the sling must be discarded. Embroidery increases the durability of the equipment.

1987
Ergonomic Tensioner
It reduces the force exerted by the operator since this tensioner applies the tension in the opposite direction.
1995
ABS tensioner
Prevents the load from collapsing by gradually loosening the tension generated by the lashing.
1998
Joker Hook
Its ergonomic design facilitates the quick and safe connection of round slings to the attachment points.

2001
Vario Web
Allows for precise adjustment on each branch for lifting tasks with multi-branch systems.
2002
TFI
The Tension Force Indicator informs the user of the applied pretension force. Unique, even 18 years later!
2006
Truxafe
It immobilizes the transported load and increases the resistance of the structure thanks to the arrangement of the internal bars and the lashing systems.

2010
Magnum X
Lifting 50 tons with a sling that barely exceeds 4 kg in weight. With this development we face the challenge of lifting increasingly heavier loads, reducing the weight and dimensions of the sling by 50%.
2014
DSL-2
Self-retracting fall arrest lanyard with predictive fall system. Reduces fall distance by 50% + of that required by EN355.
2019
Magnum Force/ Power Force
The high resistance of its material, made of high molecular weight polyethylene - HMPE-, allows compact slings, with maximum safety and optimal handling.
