"The perfect balance for your complex loads, even in extreme conditions

The TRIPOD-ADJUST® concept:

The Tripod-Adjust sling is a 3-strand hybrid lifting solution designed for theaerospace and precision construction industries. It solves the major challenge of asymmetrical lifting by allowing independent adjustment of the length of each strand.

Its strength lies in its unique bi-material architecture: the structural power of Dyneema®.

TRIPOD-ADJUST® Strategic Advantages

1. Variable geometry & balance

  • Millimeter adjustment: Tripod-Adjust technology instantly compensates for the off-center position of a load.

  • 3-point stability: Provides perfect isostatic seating, eliminating the tilting phenomena typical of 2-strand slings or fixed chains.

2. Hybrid-Tech" thermal resistance

  • Technora® shield (sheath option): Incorporates high-performance aramid fibers for operations near hot spots (engines, foundries, ovens) without loss of CMU.

  • Dyneema® core: Guarantees unbeatable strength-to-weight ratio and zero elongation for precision dispensing.

3. Ergonomics & Protection

  • Absolute lightness: Up to 7 times lighter than a 3-strand chain sling of equivalent capacity.

  • Surface-friendly: Soft textile braiding protects high-value-added parts (aeronautical components, glass facades, polished prefabricated elements).

Lab Industry Tip

The "zero-tension adjustment" reflex. For maximum longevity of the Tripod-Adjust system, perform the rough adjustment of the strands before tensioning. Once the load has been applied, the system locks naturally by friction, guaranteeing an indestructible hold for the duration of the maneuver.

The customer's problem / challenge:

In the aeronautics and construction sectors, many lifting operations involve heavy loads and can take place in environments with high temperatures, particularly near hot spots on specific sites (work on industrial installations, certain types of construction...).

In such cases, traditional lifting solutions may have limitations in terms of heat resistance or the flexibility required for certain lifting configurations.

The customer was looking for a lifting solution that was both highly resistant, adaptable to different load shapes, and capable of withstanding high temperatures without compromising safety performance.

The Nodus Factory Solution :

Nodus Factory Industry proposed a customized textile lifting sling, specially designed to meet these constraints.

This sling combines the use of state-of-the-art technical fibers: Dyneema® for structural strength and Technora® for outstanding temperature resistance. Made from tubular braid, it offers the flexibility needed to adapt to different lifting configurations (single, double or triple strand) while guaranteeing a high Maximum Working Load (MWL), tailored to customer requirements.

Customer testimonials :

"We used to use conventional steel slings, but the Nodus Factory textile solutions have given us greater flexibility and greatly facilitated the handling of delicate loads, while maintaining an optimum level of safety." F. Z. Lifting Team Leader, Production Plant
