Split into two main areas, Dowlings can service the webbing or slings manufacturer from the two opposing ends of sewing machine technology, the highly efficient electronic programmable pattern sewing machine, and at the other end the big boys, capable of sewing with threads and thickness's of webbing that would make most sewing machines weep.
With the electronic machines, Dowlings Sewing Machines have chosen to supply machines produced by Brother, almost certainly the current market leader in this type of machinery.  From even before the act of purchase, Dowlings can advise on the correct class of machine for the application,  program sewing patterns, 'in house' using the latest Brother PC-300 CAD system.  Produce material clamping systems in our own workshops, and further more provide support with spare parts and needles from stock, fitted by trained engineers if required.

With the ability to sew repetitive patterns reliably and quickly, the electronic programmable sewing machine has given the webbing industry a means to quickly and effortlessly sew together webbing straps and restraints with complex and aesthetically pleasing patterns in a matter of seconds.  This in turn giving a product that is consistent in specification and high in standard of finish.

Now the Big boys.

Following closely behind the SLH is the TH.  By no means a poor relation, the TH is a bit more of an all rounder in the heavy department.  Available in various formats the most popular the TH-8B, is furnished with walking feet and needle feed and has the abillity to sew at the lighter end with an M20 thread, through to Metric 8 on materials up to 20mm thick.
