Montracon has announced the availability of a load retention strap and ratchet system that promises to improve loading safety, load security and vehicle turnaround times.
Intended for curtainsider trailer applications, the straps are clipped to lines wound onto and suspended from ratchets that, in turn, are hung from and travel along wires that run the full length of the trailer either to each side of the roof or along its centre.
When loading, the ratchet/load retention straps are drawn along the wires to the position required, the suspended strap then being easily pulled down to couple with a strap/tensioner anchored to the floor or side rave.
"Its safer and probably more secure than manhandling the retention straps," comments Montracon's sales and marketing director Paul Mead. And he adds: "Straps are stowed neatly when not in use. The system is flexible enough to release part loads while leaving the remainder secure."
