Description

Overview

Curtain Tensioner 150 Series Left-Hand keeps a curtainsider curtain tight, so the curtain sits cleanly against the trailer body and resists flap. It uses a straight handle with a quick release and auto lock action, which helps drivers tension the curtain quickly and then secure it in position. Use this style when you need a left-hand unit for the front, or a right-hand rear position on the trailer.

Features

This Curtain Tensioner 150 Series Left-Hand suits daily freight work because it lets you tension, lock and release the curtain with one lever. It also suits maintenance schedules, since fitters can swap a worn tensioner without changing the rest of the curtain system if the base and hand match. Key features include:

• Left-hand configuration for front mounting or right-hand rear use
• Straight handle layout for simple reach and leverage
• Quick release function to reduce time during open and close cycles
• Auto lock action to help hold curtain tension after closing

Specifications and Materials

Part number: CV4055.
This tensioner uses a 150mm long base, which helps you match the mounting footprint to existing curtainsider hardware. If you are replacing a previous unit, check the hand and mounting position first, then confirm the base length before you drill or rivet.

Compliance and Safety

Inspect the handle, latch action and mounting points during routine walk-arounds, because a loose tensioner can let the curtain work and wear faster. Also confirm your curtain system meets your operational load restraint needs, since some curtains act as weather protection rather than a load restraint system. If you are unsure, follow the trailer manufacturer instructions and your fleet procedures.

Trailer Applications

This Curtain Tensioner 150 Series Left-Hand suits many curtainsider and tautliner style trailers that use manual curtain tensioners at the front and rear. It is commonly used where the trailer needs a left-hand front tensioner, or the matching right-hand rear position, to keep the lever action facing the correct direction. Use it on straight curtain tracks and posts where the tensioner sets the final curtain tightness before travel.
