High-strength UHMWPE textile joining links designed as lightweight, flexible replacements for steel shackles. Built to withstand extreme loads, bending fatigue, and harsh working environments.
UHMWPE Joining Links are engineered as a high performance alternative to steel shackles, offering exceptional strength, low weight, and superior handling. Manufactured from Stealth Fibre® Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene and heat treated with an abrasion resistant coating, these joining links maintain strength across tight-radius bends, deliver excellent fatigue resistance, and provide long service life in harsh conditions.
Their lightweight construction reduces the risk of manual handling injuries, while their floating properties make them ideal for recovery, towing, and lifting operations in mud, water, or marine environments. No tools are required, simply open, loop, and secure. Each joining link is fully traceable with durable ID tags and certified tonnage ratings.
