Applications in the Defence Industry
Lifting operations and load movement
In demanding application scenarios - whether in the air or on the ground - maximum safety and precision are essential. Our solutions for lifting operations and load movement guarantee exactly that.
When transporting loads by helicopter, every move counts. Whether for military missions, humanitarian aid flights or logistical operations: Secure fastening is crucial.
When lifting heavy loads with cranes, efficiency and safety take centre stage. We supply heavy-duty wire ropes, chains and connecting elements for military and industrial applications - ideal for the precise movement of vehicles, containers or technical equipment.
Securing and fastening
Whether on land, at sea or in the air - the secure fastening of vehicles and loads is essential for successful and accident-free transport. Our products guarantee maximum stability and load-bearing capacity under demanding conditions.
Military vehicles, containers and technical equipment must be reliably secured during every transport. With robust wire ropes, high-strength chains and tested connecting elements, we offer solutions for secure fastening on transport platforms.
Rescue and recovery
In emergencies, every second counts - as does the reliability of the equipment used. For demanding rescue and recovery operations, we offer robust equipment that guarantees maximum safety and functionality under extreme conditions.
High-strength wire ropes are used for air rescue, high-altitude rescue or evacuation from difficult-to-access terrain. Our special ropes are designed for high loads and have proven themselves in helicopter operations, tactical extractions and disaster control.
Heavy-duty applications
Where extreme forces are at work, absolute reliability is required. Our products for heavy-duty applications are specially developed for use under the highest loads - robust, durable and safe in both military and industrial environments.
Whether for recovering, moving or securing tanks and armoured vehicles, our high-strength chains and connecting elements can withstand even the highest tensile forces. They enable the controlled movement of heavy combat vehicles - overland, during loading or off-road. For maximum safety even under extreme operating conditions.
