What type of shoulder belts work best with a HANS Device?

  • Any SFI approved shoulder harness system works fine with the HANS Device.
  • 2" or 3" shoulder belts in nylon or polyester work fine with the HANS Device.
  • Be sure to mount and replace your belts in accordance with manufacturer guidelines. Only the HANS Device spreads the belts around your neck, preventing chafing and maximizing belt performance.

    • FURTHER INFORMATION

  • 6 or 7 point belt systems work better than 4 or 5 point systems because they arrest the motion of the pelvis earlier in the incident, leading to lower levels of injury.
  • Based upon better performance characteristics, we prefer that drivers use polyester belts.
  • Remember to life your belts! Nylon loses 80% of its strength in two years due to exposure to sunlight and air alone.
