image-asset (1).png

Leaking Issues One issue customers were having is that the legacy tensioner would leak. This leaking was a result of over stoking the tensioner. With the new Riverhawk HSIG tensioners, they have been designed to stop the tensioner from getting damaged when over stroked. No longer can you over stroke the HSIG Tensioner, as it has stops to prevent the over stroke condition.

This webinar will describe the new HSIG tensioner that was designed to address a few key issues customers were having with the older legacy tooling

Below are some of the questions discussed during the webinar:

  • What is the weight of the heaviest piece or component of the new tensioning tool?

  • If we convert to the new modular tool, will we be required to install a different stud assembly or make any hardware changes?

  • Is training available when you upgrade to the new tensioner?

  • If there is a jump with the HSIG style tensioner, can you continue using it?

  • Since the HSIG parts are all separate now, can they be used with different tensioners?
