FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nano Series Lifting Slings Expand Boundaries of Compact Strength and High-Temperature Performance
Proudly designed and manufactured in Great Britain, the Nano Series Lifting Slings redefine what is possible in textile lifting, delivering exceptional strength, durability, and thermal resistance in an ultra-compact, lightweight format. Engineered for professional lifting and rigging environments, the Nano range is purpose-built for construction, industrial operations, transportation, and specialist applications where space, weight, and safety margins are critical.
Each Nano sling is constructed around a continuous-loop core of high-tenacity synthetic fibres, enclosed within a tightly compressed protective sleeve. This unique architecture minimises internal fibre movement, significantly reducing creep and ensuring superior strength retention over the sling’s service life. Load is carried entirely through the core, while the outer sleeve evenly distributes compression, protects against abrasion, and preserves structural integrity under demanding conditions.
All Nano Series slings are designed with a 7:1 design factor for lifting applications. In addition, Nano slings are dual-certified for use as PPE anchor slings (EN 795 Type B CEN/TS16145 & OSHA)
Designed for lengths up to 4 metres, enabling safe crossover between lifting and fall-protection applications.
A defining advantage of the Nano Series is its outstanding strength-to-weight ratio. By leveraging advanced fibre technologies including polyester, UHMPE, and aramid, Nano slings achieve very high load capacities with dramatically reduced bulk. The compact construction simplifies handling, improves rigging accuracy and unnecessary bulk.
High-Temperature Specialists: Guard N and Thermo A
The Nano Series is further distinguished by two specialist models engineered for elevated-temperature and hot-work environments.
Nano Guard N is the range’s ultimate passive heat-resistant solution. Featuring a para-aramid fibre core with a Nomex® sleeve, it is available in 70 kN or 140 kN Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) options, with 0.5 m to 4 m Effective Working Lengths (EWL). Guard N tolerates continuous temperatures of approximately 150 °C with minimal strength loss and can withstand temperatures approaching 500 °C before ultimate failure, making it ideal for use near boilers, furnaces, or hot process plant where polyester or UHMPE slings are unsuitable.
For the most demanding hot-work conditions, Nano Thermo A delivers advanced thermal protection. It combines a heat-resistant aramid core with the patent-pending Thermo Sleeve—a halogen-free, self-extinguishing, heat-shrunk polymer jacket that will not support combustion. Rated up to 140 kN MBL and available in 0.5 m to 4 m EWL, Thermo A is designed for welding, cutting, sparks, molten metal splash, and brief flame exposure. After any high-heat event, controlled cooling and inspection ensure continued safe operation.
With uncompromising safety margins, compact innovation, and industry-leading heat resistance, the Nano Series Lifting Slings deliver powerful performance where conventional textile slings fall short—our smallest, lightest, strongest slings. EVER.
