The demand for high-strength binding and hoisting equipment has soared, and safety standards have been further upgraded

2025,05,16

Recently, the field of hoisting and fixed equipment has witnessed many new developments, bringing new development opportunities to various links such as goods transportation, warehousing and engineering operations in different industries.

In terms of Webbing, with the continuous advancement of materials technology, breakthroughs have been made in the research and development of new high-strength and lightweight webbing materials. Several well-known webbing manufacturers have announced the launch of webbing products made of brand-new composite materials. These products not only have excellent wear resistance but also perform far better than traditional webbing when subjected to extreme tensile forces. This new type of webbing is expected to be widely used in fields with extremely high requirements for material performance, such as outdoor sports equipment and the fixation of aerospace components. For instance, in mountain climbing activities, lightweight and high-strength webbing can not only reduce the burden on climbers' equipment but also ensure safety.

The market for binding straps also shows a vigorous development trend. To meet the growing demand for logistics and transportation, especially against the backdrop of a sharp increase in the volume of goods transported due to the rapid development of e-commerce, the manufacturers of binding straps are constantly optimizing their product designs. Some enterprises have launched binding straps with quick connection and disassembly functions, which greatly saves the time cost during the loading and unloading of goods. In long-distance freight transportation, drivers using this new type of binding strap can complete the fixation and unbinding of goods in a short time, improving transportation efficiency.

Ratchet belts continue to be favored by the market due to their convenient operation and good fastening effect. Recently, some manufacturers have improved the ratchet mechanism of ratchet belts, making it smoother when adjusting tension and increasing the stability of Locking, effectively avoiding loosening caused by jolts during transportation. From small household moves to the transportation of large industrial equipment, ratchet belts play a significant role. The improved products will further consolidate their position in the market.

Among sling products, Wire Rope Slings have taken a dominant position in heavy hoisting operations due to their high strength and excellent wear resistance. At present, the industry is focusing on enhancing the flexibility of steel wire rope slings to enable more flexible operation in complex hoisting environments. Meanwhile, by adopting advanced anti-rust treatment technology, the service life of the steel wire rope slings has been prolonged and the usage cost has been reduced. On construction sites, when hoisting large building materials, flexible and durable steel wire rope slings can ensure the safety and efficiency of the operation.

Chain Slings are indispensable in some scenarios where the rigidity and stability of the slings are extremely high. Recently, related enterprises have innovated in chain materials and developed chains with higher strength and fatigue resistance, which are suitable for working environments with frequent lifting of heavy objects, such as cargo handling operations at ports and docks.

Significant progress has also been made in Lifting Slings. The new type of synthetic fiber lifting slings are lighter in weight while ensuring the load-bearing capacity, and cause less damage to the surface of the lifted object. During the handling of precision equipment, this type of Lifting Sling can effectively protect the surface of the equipment from scratches and ensure the integrity of the equipment.

As the attention paid by various industries to the safety of goods transportation and operational efficiency keeps increasing, The positive changes in technological innovation and market expansion of products such as Webbing, Tie-Down Straps, Ratchet Straps, Wire Rope Slings, Chain Slings, and Lifting Slings It will continue to drive the hoisting and fixing equipment industry to a new stage of development and provide solid support for the development of numerous industries.

Innovation in security technology has become the focus:
Recently, the European Union and North America have successively updated the EN 12195-2 and ASME B30.9 hoisting safety standards, putting forward more stringent requirements for the UV aging resistance and dynamic load capacity of materials. Leading enterprises such as Cargo Controls and Crosby Group have launched a new generation of anti-wear woven slings and intelligent weighing chain rigging, which monitor the load tension in real time through built-in sensors to prevent the risk of breakage.

Expert tip:
"When choosing hoisting Equipment, it is necessary to match the actual working conditions," pointed out the technical director of the Lifting Equipment Institute. "For example, for the transportation of wind turbine blades, wide-body ratchet straps must be used to disperse the pressure, while for heavy hoisting in shipyards, G80 grade alloy chain slings are more recommended."

Market trend:
The share of lightweight high-strength fiber (such as Dyneema®) binding straps has increased
The green electroplating process reduces heavy metal pollution in chains and rigging
Blockchain technology is applied to the full life cycle traceability of lifting gear
