Manufacturing capabilities

Our company is founded on engineering excellence and a total commitment to quality. For the safety-critical industries we serve, nothing less than this is acceptable. And it is for this reason that every single Slingco product is designed, engineered and tested to exacting standards, ensuring safe and dependable operation under even the most challenging conditions.

This all begins with our dedicated in-house design team. From initial design through to advanced 3D modelling, finite element analysis, prototyping, and testing, every stage of the design process is geared towards developing innovative products that perform as they should. This is why we are market leaders in this highly specialized field.

Our ISO9001 quality assured manufacturing operation is equipped with the latest production tools and systems to enable us to offer the following services:

Cablenet Tension Wire Grid

Fabricated Products

We have the ability to fabricate a wide range of products including our Cablenet tension wire grid. As pioneers in the development of this high level ‘invisible’ access platforms, we have supplied some of the largest examples of their kind in the world, including a record breaking 25,000 sq.ft. installation at a Madrid exhibition centre consisting of 25 miles of steel cable and more than 50 tonnes of fabricated steelwork.

These facilities – together with the skills of our design and engineering teams – enable us to produce the consistently high quality products our customers are looking for, and give us the capacity to supply expanding markets the world over.

All Slingco products are subject to thorough testing to ensure they meet the relevant safety standards and we work closely with external laboratories to ensure that customers can choose from our ranges with complete confidence in their performance.

Custom Product Development

We produce a comprehensive range of cable installation, support and protection products with systems and solutions suitable for almost any application. And for those applications outside the capabilities and capacities of our standard ranges, our in-house design team is able to offer custom product development.

There’s nothing that gives us more of a buzz than being presented with a technical challenge, and coming back with a practical, safe, and cost effective solution. It’s what makes us tick and it’s why we adopted the motto ‘Trusted Innovation’. Take a look through some of our case studies and you’ll see what we mean by this.
