Attain greater abrasion resistance
Extend lifetime usage with our sling protection products
Even though our lifting slings made with Dyneema® are really strong and have great protection against wear, you can protect them further, making them last even longer, by adding additional protection with our sleeves/covers. These protection products are made from various materials, ranging from polyester to Dyneema®.
The purpose of wear sleeves
When using a lifting sling, it can come into contact with rough or sharp edges and surfaces, which could potentially damage it. To prevent this, wear sleeves are used as covers for the lifting slings. The wear sleeves act as a shield for the lifting sling, providing an extra layer of protection, including cut protection and sometimes also protection against chemicals.
The sleeves simply slip over the lifting slings, and provide a very resistant and protective barrier. They help to reduce the wear and tear on the sling, extending its lifespan and ensuring it remains strong and reliable for lifting heavy objects.
See a variety of our wear sleeve types below.
Heavy duty polyester
The heavy duty polyester cover offers good abrasion resistance, can withstand high temperatures and is the most common choice for slings with a low WLL (Working Load Limit).
The cover is orange and can be used on the entire length.
Single Cordura
Cordura is used in the toughest environments as it is both strong and withstands daily wear; protecting the rope from tear, scuffing etc.
Single Cordura is used for less abrasive applications where the softness and flexibility are an advantage.
Single Cordura is blue, used for both ropes, fibre slings, tethers and winch ropes on the entire length.
Dual Cordura
Like Single Cordura, Dual Cordura is used in the toughest environments as it is both strong and withstands daily wear; protecting the rope from tear, scuffing etc.
Dual Cordura is used for very abrasive applications as the double sided woven fabric is an advantage in applications where the risk of chafing is significant.
Dual Cordura is used for both ropes, slings, tethers and winch ropes on the entire length. The cover is blue on the outside and red on the inside, which is used as an indicator mark in case of a cut through the outer blue layer.
DuraForce
DuraForce is a unique mix of Dyneema® and Single Cordura making it resistant to wear, chemicals and harsh use - even more durable than Dual Cordura.
DuraForce is blue and white, but seems grey from a distance. It is primarily used for slings on the entire length.
ARMOUR 1.5 - Woven dyneema® cover
ARMOUR woven covers made with Dyneema® provide scalable protection depending on operational needs:
ARMOUR 1.5
→ Lightweight & flexible, ideal for short slings and everyday use.
Woven Dyneema® or HMPE covers represent the highest level of wear and cut resistance available for synthetic sling protection. Designed for extreme durability, these covers extend sling life, improve safety, and ensure reliability during lifting and rigging operations in harsh and high-risk environments. They are engineered to withstand abrasion, sharp edges, and demanding working conditions where traditional covers fail.
→ Thickness : 1.5 mm
→ Applications : Ideal for short slings, ropes, and tethers. Commonly used at bearing points, as eye protection, or as full-body sling coverage.
→ Advantages : Lightweight, flexible, and highly cut-resistant – making it the preferred choice for full-length coverage of short slings.
→ Colors : Standard in white; available in yellow upon request.
ARMOUR 3.0 - Woven dyneema® cover
ARMOUR woven covers made with Dyneema® provide scalable protection depending on operational needs:
ARMOUR 3.0
→ Maximum durability for offshore and critical heavy lifting.
→ Thickness : 3.0 mm
→ Applications : Specifically engineered for the most extreme lifting operations, particularly offshore.
→ Recommended where maximum protection against wear, cuts, and environmental stress is required.
→ Advantages : Custom-made to order, providing unmatched resistance for specialized, high-risk lifting operations.
→ Colors : Standard in white.
Braided polyester cover
The hard braided cover is used for ropes, rope slings, rope tethers and winch ropes on the body.
The individual filaments are impregnated and heat set in order to close the fibres and elevate the wear resistance. The braided cover is not as durable as Dynamica PRO cover but is a cost friendly alternative.
The braided cover can be custom-made in terms of colour.
Braided Dynamica PRO cover
At Dynamica Ropes, we have designed the Dynamica PRO cover; a hard braided cover used for ropes, rope slings, rope tethers and winch ropes on the entire length, bearing points, spliced areas and in the eyes.
The individual filaments in the Dynamica PRO cover are impregnated and heat set in order to close the fibres and elevate the abrasion resistance; making the cover very durable.
The braided cover can be custom-made in terms of colour but our standard range is yellow, black and blue.

Breaking the waves with Dynamica Trawl Warps
Same strong and axial stiffness as steel warps but 7 times lighter - shift from steel to synthetic trawl warps was a game changer in trawling.

Dynamica Tethers - mooring of MWA
5 huge MWA structures. 90t. 12.5m x 14 m. Manufactured by NOV. Installed by Havfram at Balder field. The installation required each of the MWA’s to be pulled down to enable connection to the preinstalled suction mid-water arch foundation – consisting of 140t anchors using Dynamica MWA Tethers.

Stiesdal TetraSpar: We replaced steel with synthetic rope
TetraSpar’s innovative floating system is supported by 6 pieces of 60 m long Dynamica Keel Lines sheathed with Dyneema®, complete with Dynacote protected connection points. Custom designed for installation on the keels prior to tow out from the Port of Grenaa in Denmark.

HD Tethers for anchoring of risers
370 metres under the sea level in the rough waters of the Norwegian North Sea, the strongest man-made synthetic fibres serv the purpose of anchoring risers - Dynamica HD Tethers.

Rope lifting system for FPSO
Light and flexible Dynamica pendants were delivered for the rope lifting system for the FPSO in the Caribbean part of South America. The light and strong Dynamica SUPREME ropes made with SK78 Dyneema® fibres have been used for similar systems many times in the past.

Permanent mooring - beyond expectations
When easy handling, maintenance free ropes and safety is top priority.

Retired after 3997 jobs
During towing and tugging operations there are often focus on operation schedule and budget meaning the equipment needs to aid a fast yet safe operation. Choosing a Dynamica mooring -, towing -, or winch rope ensures maximum strength, minimal weight, greater safety and efficiency.
