Utilising over 50 years of experience in this field our technical representatives can offer an unrivalled level of service for all projects, whether they be on land or sea.

HEAVY LIF HEAVY LIFTING SYNTHETIC FIBRE ALTERNATIVES TO STEEL ROPE AND SLINGS ARE BECOMING CRITICAL. With the global heavy lifting industry now operating with larger loads in markets such as offshore energy, synthetic fibre alternatives to steel rope and slings are becoming critical components for project operators. Dyneema fibre is as strong as steel but is 7x lighter. The saving in weight means that Dyneema ropes and slings are easier to handle/transport and with no recoil and no sharp edges, they are a safer alternative. Selecting Dyneema ropes and slings can help you meet the growing demands...

OUR BESPOKE DYNEEMA ROUND SLINGS OFFER A HEAVY LIFT CAPABILITY TO THE EXISTING RANGE. Our bespoke Dyneema round slings offer a heavy lift capability to the existing range. We can produce slings up to and exceeding 136m in length and with an MBL of up to 3500 Tonnes. By choosing synthetic round slings you can reduce the need for traditional chains and wire and reduce the overall weight to 1/8 of the equivalent steel alternative. Our round slings are manufactured using bundles of fibres that when in parallel create the optimum MBL for their weight. It is our belief that In the same way that the...

CHOOSE WINCHLINES MADE WITH DYNEEMA® – RELIABLE AND STRONG WITH LONG SERVICE LIFE As of today, hundreds of kilometers of winchlines and crane ropes made with Dyneema® are out there – offshore – working on winches from shallow to ultra-deepwater. Using traditional steel wire ropes limits deepwater operations, as their weight halves a crane’s capacity at a depth of 3000 meters. Ropes with Dyneema® are as strong as steel, yet light enough to float. This reduced weight translates to increased crane capacity, especially when operating at extreme depths. Besides increased operational efficiency and...

ROPES THATDON’T COST THE WORLD. English Braids are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and helping our markets do the same. Our drive for greater sustainability is not just in the products we are making but starts from our suppliers, into manufacturing, all the way through to packaging and end of life such as recycling or re-purposing. The rPET yarn that makes up our cruising, mooring and dockline is the by-product of recycled plastic bottles with each metre using up around 7 bottles. These bottles would otherwise have been destined for landfill or our seas and allow us to make the same...
