A ratchet winder for wire fencing is a mechanical tool designed to tighten and maintain tension in wire fences, commonly used in agricultural, livestock, and property boundary applications.
Description:
The ratchet winder consists of a metal spool or drum mounted on a frame with a ratcheting mechanism. One end of the wire is secured to the spool, and as the handle is turned, the ratchet pulls the wire tight and locks it in place, preventing it from loosening.
Key Features:
-
Durable construction, typically made from galvanized or stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
-
Ratchet mechanism allows for controlled tensioning without slippage.
-
Manual or tool-assisted operation (can be used with a standard wrench or tensioning tool).
-
Often used in conjunction with fence strainers or tighteners.
Common Use:
-
Tensioning high-tensile wire on barbed wire, electric, or woven wire fences.
-
Adjusting and maintaining tension over time to compensate for wire sag due to weather or livestock pressure.
The ratchet winder is an essential tool for anyone installing or maintaining wire fencing, helping to ensure that fences remain strong, straight, and effective.
