WITH THE RSHB® WINDER, STAY SAFE. KEEP WORKING!
STRAINS, SPRAINS OR STRAINS
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are strains, sprains or pulled muscles, tendons and joints. These injuries can occur suddenly from an incident such as a fall or over time from repetitive motions such as manually rolling up tie-down straps. They can creep in gradually or hit you like a bullet. Examples of MSDs include rotator cuff injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, back strain, and tendonitis. Using proper techniques to perform the job can reduce the risk of developing these injuries.

Just let this restraint strap retractor do the work for you! The RSHB® retractor is a tool designed for your safety:
- Before doing anything, use the proper safety equipment required for your operations (gloves, proper safety shoes, hard hat, high visibility safety vest and safety glasses).
- Work in front of your open trailer winches, so you always keep an eye on your straps to avoid injury.
- Travaillez avec une main sur l’outil et l’autre sur la sangle pour obtenir un rouleau serré et bien droit à chaque fois.
- Use the torque selector in "screw" mode to ensure safe operation in the event of winches or straps jamming.
- insert the RSHB® pinion into the winch roller.
- In forward mode, pull the trigger on the drill so the drive finger snaps into one of the holes in the winch, then you'll be able to pull up your entire webbing.
- Slow the speed of the tool just before the chain and its hook to avoid injury.
- Engage the drill in reverse mode and pull the trigger to allow the drive finger to fold back onto the pinion so that the RSHB® can be removed from the roller.
- Avoid shoulder (rotator cuff) injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, lower back injuries and tendinitis caused by hand rolling.
- Made for women and men truckers.
This tie-down strap retractor does the work for you and is an essential tool for the toolbox of your open semi-trailer.
