As strong as steel, a
fraction of the weight
Green Pin Tycan®Lifting Chain
Green Pin Tycan
®
has been created from the world’s strongest
man-made fibre, Dyneema
®
, and is a link chain that has all the
performance and flexibility of steel chain but is a fraction of the
weight. It is very safe to use, non-corrosive and waterproof. In
fact, it even floats! The soft touch and light weight makes Green
Pin Tycan
®
easy to use, allows quicker application and greatly
reduces the potential of damage to cargo, a critical factor when
handling objects with sensitive surfaces. By using Green Pin
Tycan
®
companies achieve greater efficiency and a safer working
environment for their staff.
