FOR COMPLETE LASHING SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS.. CONTAINERSHIP OR ROLL ON/ROLL OFF This fast hook-up tensioner, typ- ical of PATTERSON ingenuity, provides a permanent, positive locking action. Because its hand- wheel is correctly proportioned, cable tension and, therefore, container pre-stressing, can be controlled within pre-set limits. And should slack develop due to wire rope stretch or a slight shift of containers while underway, a quick turn of the handwheel will re-tighten the lashing-no toggle to re-set. Because the devil's claw and fitting will accept swaged ferrules spaced as little as 2Vi-inches apart, fast lash-up of con- tainers stacked 1, 2, 3 or 4 high is possible with the same cable.
