What are Clingons™?

Simple & easy to fit, these hardwearing, reusable clips instantly create a strong securing point or eyelet on any type of tarpaulin, canvas & synthetic material wherever you want in seconds – no tools required, no damage to the material.

  • Simple, fast and effective
  • The heavier the load the tighter the grip
  • Can be used over and over again
  • Can easily be repositioned in seconds
  • Made from reinforced nylon – lightweight, compact, strong and durable

*Median loading – explanation
Median loading capacity is determined by a series of separate static loadings applied to a single Clingon™ installed on a 680/700 gms/sq.mtr. vinyl fabric (without hem). The median loading capacity represents the approximate safe working load that can be applied to the Clingon™, and in general terms determines the safe load bearing capacity of the bridge within the sleeve component.

IMPORTANT – the median loading capacity does not represent the efficiency or holding/gripping power or efficiency of the Clingon™ – those elements of performance are determined by both the correct application of the Clingon™ and by the physical characteristics of the fabric/substrate onto which the Clingon™ is being applied.
