This is a rugged, heavy-duty tensioner for use in all situations. At one end is a double-jaw claw-type connector, operated by a quarter turn of a knurled hand grip, which attaches to a securing ring or other suitable strong point. At the other end of the coupling is a chain pocket into which the nearest link of the lashing chain, after all, the slack has been taken up, is secured by means of a half-turn of the lock. Turning the built-in handwheel on the body of the coupling produces the required tension in the lashing. Quick-release is effected by a quarter turn of the handgrip.
The Original Quick Release Coupling is suitable for all rugged cargo applications in both the Marine and Aviation environment offering load capacities of 5,000lb, 10,000lb and 14,000lb. To provide means of attachment to, and tensioning of a chain fixed between an anchoring point and a deck or floor fitting, and quick release of such without the use of tools.
