The Tree Anchor Ratchet Tensioners are essential tools for securely anchoring trees using wire-based tree support systems. Designed for professional arborists, forestry contractors, landowners, and councils, these high-quality ratchet tensioners provide precise and controlled tension to wire or strapping systems, ensuring newly planted saplings, rootballed, and containerised trees remain upright and stable.
Proper tensioning is critical to prevent leaning or uprooting, particularly in exposed or windy locations. Using a ratchet tensioner ensures the wire or strap around the tree’s rootball is tightened accurately, protecting the tree during its establishment phase while avoiding damage to the trunk or roots. The ratchet tensioners are compatible with multiple tree anchor systems, including Tree Anchor Rootball Wire, Deadman, Dropman, and Guying Systems.
Three ratchet tensioner options are available to accommodate trees of different heights and anchor kit sizes, allowing for safe and efficient installation across a variety of forestry, land management, and urban planting projects.
