A 13mm lashing chain tensioner, also known as a chain tensioner or chain binder, is a device used to tighten and secure cargo lashing chains, ensuring a secure hold during transportation. These tensioners are used in conjunction with cargo lashing chains to secure heavy loads, especially in RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) shipping and maritime transport.
Key Features and Functionality:
Purpose:To apply tension to the chain, preventing cargo from shifting or sliding during transit.
Mechanism:Typically involves a ratcheting mechanism that allows the user to pull the chain through the tensioner and apply tension using a lever.
Common Use:Securely holds heavy loads on ships, trucks, trailers, flatbeds, and other cargo-carrying vehicles.
Materials:Made from strong materials like carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel.
Benefits:Ensures cargo remains stable, reduces the risk of accidents, damage, or loss of cargo.
Compatibility:Designed for use with 13mm lashing chains, which have a total length of 6 meters and a Working Load Limit (W.L.L.) of 10 T.
RoRo Transport:Frequently used in RoRo transport for securing vehicles, trucks, and industrial machinery on board.
