When people hear the word “straps,” they often think of common items like tie-downs or backpack handles. At Fieldtex Products, we know straps can be much more. Custom-manufactured straps can be versatile and solve specific problems. From assisting medical recovery to enabling pet mobility, we have made custom straps to solve real-world problems for many customers.
Custom Straps Designed to Solve Real-World Challenges
At Fieldtex, we don’t just manufacture straps we create solutions for unique needs. Here are a few examples that highlight how we collaborate with our clients to develop specialty straps that work wonders.
Dog Butt Lifter 3,000: A Canine Mobility Breakthrough
One of our most heartwarming projects began close to home. Our president’s mother needed help lifting her aging 85-pound golden retriever. At 13 years old, the dog struggled to stand on his own, and lifting him was taking a physical toll.
We created a lifting strap made from heavy-duty nylon webbing lined with soft neoprene for comfort. The strap cradles the dog’s hindquarters, allowing a gentle lift with minimal strain on the lifter. Playfully dubbed the Dog Butt Lifter 3,000, it restored a sense of independence for both the pet and owner. This strap shows that a purpose built strap can enhance mobility, even in the simplest applications.
Post-Surgical Therapy Resistance Straps
A local hospital system needed a durable, user-friendly resistance strap for post-surgical rehab. Patients required a single strap that could support multiple exercises and endure daily use.
We developed a multi-loop resistance therapy strap using industrial-grade nylon webbing and reinforced stitching. The loops allow for various hand and foot placements, enabling a wide range of resistance exercises. Lightweight, compact, and easy to sanitize, these straps improved rehab outcomes and were scalable across multiple therapy programs.
Memory Foam Shoulder Straps for Load-Bearing Comfort
A client approached us with an issue: their staff were experiencing shoulder pain from carrying equipment in standard duffle bags. Our solution? An ungraded shoulder strap featuring memory foam inserts to evenly distribute weight and reduced discomfort.
Using our durable nylon webbing, we upgraded the padding with thick memory foam and some ergonomic contouring. The result was a major improvement in comfort and reduction in complaining. This is a great example of how retrofitting existing gear with upgraded straps can improve performance and ergonomics.
Materials and Weight Capacities: Built for Strength and Customization
Our strap manufacturing process is built around strength, durability, and application-specific design. We offer:
- Nylon webbing: Tensile strength up to 600 lbs
- Polyester webbing: UV-resistant, ideal for outdoor use
- Neoprene padding: For comfort and skin contact
- Canvas and leather: Rugged, classic materials for a premium look
- Waterproof vinyl: Great for wet environments or sanitation
Straps are sewn using industrial walking-foot and programmable machines. For more advanced projects, we can incorporate Kevlar® or Nomex® threads for flame resistance and extreme weight requirements.
From Idea to Prototype: Collaborative Development
Our team thrives on turning “what if” into “what’s next.” Whether you bring a rough idea or a home made sample, we work closely to design, prototype, and test a solution that fits your requirements.
Every product mentioned above—from the Dog Butt Lifter to therapy straps—started with a simple problem. Through collaboration, creativity, and technical skill, we turned those challenges into high-performance solutions.
