Chain Tensioner

No.4130

The Ro-Ro Lashing Chain Tensioner from H-Lift is a high-tensile steel lever device for securely tensioning cargo lashing chains during roll-on/roll-off transport. Available for 9mm (10t BL), 11mm (15t BL), and 13mm (20t BL) chains, it shortens chain length efficiently to maintain proper tension on heavy loads.

  • Models for 9mm, 11mm, 13mm chain diameters
  • Breaking loads of 10t, 15t, 20t respectively
  • Hook design for secure chain attachment
  • Long lever handle (up to 600mm) for easy operation
  • High tensile steel construction for durability
  • Technical Data

  • What is a Lashing Chain Tensioner

The Ro-Ro Chain Tensioner is a heavy-duty marine binder designed for the rapid securing of vehicles and cargo on Roll-on/Roll-off vessels. Featuring a lever-action "Speed Lash" mechanism, it allows for significantly faster operation than traditional ratchet binders, which is critical for meeting tight vessel turnaround times.

⚡ Rapid Tensioning

Lever-action design allows for instant locking and releasing. This speed is essential for high-volume loading operations on ship decks.

🌊 Marine Grade

Manufactured from High Tensile Steel with a specialized finish to withstand harsh marine environments, including salt spray and high humidity.

⚓ High Breaking Load

Available in 10T, 15T, and 20T breaking loads. Provides a high safety margin for securing heavy trucks, trailers, and machinery during transit.

🔗 Versatile Fit

Compatible with standard marine lashing chains (9mm, 11mm, 13mm). The specialized hook design prevents disengagement even during heavy rolling at sea.

Usage Guide: Securing Vehicles on Ro-Ro Ships
  1. Hook: Attach the lashing chain to the vehicle's lashing point and the deck's star/cloverleaf socket.
  2. Position: Place the Ro-Ro Tensioner onto the chain at a point that removes most of the slack.
  3. Tension: Pull the lever handle down firmly to lock the chain under tension. The over-center mechanism ensures it stays locked.
  4. Check: Ensure the chain is tight but not over-stressed to avoid damaging the vehicle chassis.
  5. Release: To release, carefully pull the lever back up (beware of potential kickback force).
Safety Note: Always inspect the tensioner for cracks or deformation before use. Corroded or damaged tensioners must be replaced immediately.

Lashing Chain Tensioner Application

What is a Chain Tensioner?

A lashing chain tensioner, also known as a chain tensioner or a chain binder, is a mechanical device used to tighten and secure lashing chains when securing cargo during transportation.

Its primary purpose is to provide tension to the chain, ensuring that the cargo remains stable and tightly held in place during transit.

Applications

Lashing chains are essential for securing heavy or oversized cargo on:

  • Trucks and Trailers
  • Flatbeds
  • Ships and Cargo Vessels

Proper tightening prevents cargo from shifting, sliding, or becoming loose, which protects against accidents and cargo loss.

The Mechanism

The tensioner typically consists of a ratcheting mechanism. This allows the user to pull the chain through the device and apply significant tension by leveraging the handle.

This mechanical action tightens the chain around the cargo, creating a secure and stable hold that manual pulling cannot achieve.

How to Use a Lashing Chain Tensioner

  1. Connect Anchor Points: Attach the lashing chain with hooks or connectors to anchor points on both the cargo and the vehicle/transport structure.
  2. Insert Chain: Insert the loose end of the lashing chain through the tensioner mechanism.
  3. Begin Ratcheting: Operate the ratcheting mechanism by pumping the handle to pull the chain tight.
  4. Apply Tension: Continue ratcheting until the desired tension is achieved, ensuring the cargo is immovable.
  5. Secure the Handle: Lock the tensioner handle in place to prevent it from vibrating loose or opening during transport.
⚠️ Critical Safety Information

Follow Instructions: It is essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines. Over-tightening can damage the cargo or equipment, while under-tightening can result in load failure.

Equipment Matching: Always ensure that the lashing chains, hooks, and tensioners used are rated appropriately for the weight and size of the cargo being transported.

Compliance: Make sure to comply with relevant transport safety regulations and best practices to ensure a safe and successful operation.
