Description

Overview

The Krueger curtain tensioner applies longitudinal tension to the sliding curtain on compatible curtainsider trailers. This old-style left-hand unit suits the left-hand front or right-hand rear position, where its ratchet mechanism pulls the curtain tight against the trailer body.

Handing and mounting position are critical when replacing a tensioner. This model is specifically configured for the two diagonally opposite mounting positions and should not be substituted with the corresponding right-hand unit.

Features

• Old-style curtain ratchet tensioner configuration
• Left-hand operating direction
• Suits left-hand front installation
• Also suits right-hand rear installation

Compatibility and Fitment

Confirm the trailer uses the old-style Krueger tensioner arrangement before ordering. Compare the mounting footprint, ratchet body, curtain connection, handle travel and operating position with the existing unit.

The most likely ordering error is selecting the opposite-hand tensioner or a newer Krueger tensioner with a different body and mounting arrangement. A left-hand tensioner mounts at the left-hand front or right-hand rear, while the opposite-hand version covers the remaining two positions.

Compliance and Safety

Release the curtain tension before removing the assembly and control the handle throughout its travel. Stored tension can cause the handle, curtain pole or adjoining hardware to move suddenly when the mounting fasteners are loosened.

Inspect the ratchet teeth, pawl engagement, handle, mounting points and curtain connection during installation. Replace worn or damaged adjoining hardware and confirm the mechanism holds tension positively before returning the trailer to service.

Trailer Applications

Workshops fit this tensioner to older Krueger curtainsider trailers requiring a left-hand front or right-hand rear ratchet assembly. It replaces units that no longer hold curtain tension because of worn ratchet components, damaged handles, corrosion or movement at the mounting points.

Correct operation keeps the curtain stretched longitudinally along the trailer body while still allowing the driver to release it for loading and unloading.

Why Choose ICS Trailers

Old-style, new-style and opposite-hand curtain tensioners can appear similar when removed from the trailer. Send through photos of the existing assembly, mounting points and trailer position if the required configuration needs checking.
