Amsterdam/Aalen. The ICE-CURT tensioner is the newest component in RUD‘s ICE range of high strength chain products specially designed for optimal load security. It features a unique design using a magnetic fastening barrier coupling to more securely fasten heavy loads through shock and vehicle vibrations experienced during long transits.
The ICE-CURT Tensioner is made from Grade 12 heat treated steel components providing up to 60% higher Lashing Capacity (LC) than the traditional Grade 8 components, without an increase in size or weight. The ICE-CURT Tensioner is designed with an open form thread body that can be easily cleaned and maintained. The tempered threaded spindle is 100% magnetic crack tested and has a choice of two attachments - either a clevis connection or a chain protecting shortening latch. This easy to use shortening latch is designed with a pocket support that eliminates the breaking force reductions usually experienced with conventional shortening hooks. The ICE-CURT tensioner also allows for theft-protection, providing holes that can be used with a lock.
