The original Green Pin® shackles are marked with for instance:

WLL25T GP K 6 CE

This stands for:

WLL 25T = Working Load Limit of 25 metric tons;

GP or Bs = manufacturer's symbol;

K = traceability code;

6 = steel grade;

CE = "Conformité Européen".

Leister PVC coated fabric welding equipment is used to join and hem materials that are coated in PVC to provide a waterproof covering.

Typically, these are used for making tarpaulin and lorry side curtains, and more recently for making marquees and sunshade covers, or for protective tarpaulin type covers for boats and caravans and other leisure equipment.

Leister hand tools are generally used to repair tarpaulin and covers, whereas the range of automatic hem welding and joining machines use hot air to manufacture larger covers, curtains and marquees.
