Custom Branding on Webbing tapes Branding of the webbing tapes is available on any quantity. Important safety FEATURES The Tensabarrier retractable webbing tape mechanism contains a click lock tape end as standard. This locking device prevents customers removing the tape from position and therefore allowing it to retract and cause injury. Our anti-tamper security tape end/locking end is a CLICK LOCK system and clicks locked once in place. A small button above the receiver unlocks the tape. Most other retractable tape mechanisms have a high speed retraction therefore increasing the chance of the tape hitting a customer, especially a child, and causing injury. OUR cassette contains a PATENTED CENTRIFUGAL BRAKING SYSTEM incorporating two high friction brake shoes with integral self lubricating materials. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. As Tensator has been in the Q Management business for 50 years, they have discovered overseas that safety is a vital issue and take this into consideration when developing their products. www.tdisa.co.za www.tdisa.co.za
