W-FORCE · R-FORCE · ULTRA-FORCE · HOPEX SLING
The ROPENET® lifting range spans EN 1492 colour-coded polyester webbing and round slings to HMPE heavy-lift rounds rated up to 3,500 t MBL — replacing steel rigging weight-for-weight across deck, offshore and subsea lifts.
Representative properties across the lifting range. Webbing and round slings follow the EN 1492 colour code; HMPE slings are rated per project.

High-performance round sling based on parallel-laid 100% HMPE core technology — up to 15× stronger than steel weight-for-weight. Endless-loop construction ensures very low elongation under load and prevents ‘load bounce’ when hoisting very heavy weights. Used worldwide in place of steel rigging for heavy lifts; damaged slings can be repaired.
