Cardno Ltd

Cardno is a manufacturing business based in Bedfordshire, UK.

Our reputation has been built from supplying our own manufactured product ranges of equipment alongside leading brands, using our three guiding principles:

Delivering excellent customer service
Using quality components in our own manufactured ranges
Saving our customers money whenever we can

We do not believe that ‘one-size fits all’ or that ‘everything is standard’, which is why all our manufactured goods are designed and developed by us in collaboration with our customers, specifically for practical use and compliance to the appropriate Legislation & Standards (where applicable the products are rated, stamped and/or certificated).

Our range includes: pulling-on chains & straps, tie-down straps, lifting chains & slings, winch ropes & accessories, hi-viz clothing, commercial vehicle lighting and vehicle recovery specific equipment.

If we don’t stock an item we are always happy to source it for a customer.
