Description

Overview

Curtain Tensioner 100 Series Left Hand is a quick-release curtain hardware latch that tensions and locks a curtainsider trailer curtain so it stays tight on the road. This left-hand tensioner uses a straight handle and an auto-lock action, so drivers can secure the curtain quickly at each stop. Because it uses the 100mm small base pattern, it suits compact mounting points where clearance matters.

Features

• Straight handle for predictable leverage during tensioning
• Quick release auto lock mechanism that holds tension after closing
• 100mm small base footprint for common compact mounts
• Left-hand orientation for LH front or RH rear positions

Check the handedness before ordering, because left-hand and right-hand tensioners mount differently on the trailer. Also confirm your mounting hole pattern and base footprint, then inspect the catch and keeper for wear so the mechanism can lock cleanly. If your current unit releases under vibration, replace worn keepers at the same time to maintain curtain tension.

Compliance and Safety

Always restrain the load to suit the vehicle and the freight, and do not assume a curtain alone provides load restraint. If your trailer uses rated curtains or gates, inspect the system regularly, keep latches adjusted, and replace damaged hardware straight away. When you service the tensioner, keep fingers clear of pinch points because the lever can close with force.

Trailer Applications

Use Curtain Tensioner 100 Series Left Hand on curtainsider and tautliner trailers, as well as van bodies that use side curtains for access. It suits fleet maintenance when a latch becomes loose, difficult to close, or slow to release. The straight handle also helps when space is tight beside the load, so the operator can apply steady tension without twisting.
