Hose clamps & Rubber straps
In a professional truck workshop or trailer manufacturing environment, fastening challenges arise on a daily basis. Hoses need to be clamped, pipes secured, and tarpaulins held in place. The hose clamp and bungee cord category brings together all the materials needed for these tasks in one clearly organized section. Whether it involves connecting coolant hoses on a truck chassis, securing air intake connections on a semi-trailer, or covering a loading floor with a tarpaulin, the right clamp or elastic determines how reliable and durable the result will be in practice.
This category consists of two clearly distinguishable product groups that each serve their own purpose in the daily workshop routine. On one hand, there are hose clamps; on the other, bungee cords. Both product groups are available in versions designed to meet the demanding requirements of the transport and trailer manufacturing sector.
Hose clamps are available in various types and material grades. This category includes products from ABA and Norma, two brands that are considered standard in the European truck and trailer industry. ABA is a Swedish brand with a long track record in the production of precision clamps for automotive and industrial applications. Norma is a German brand known for its accurate dimensions and consistent clamping force. Both brands supply clamps that conform to the applicable material standards, including W1, W2 and W4. The W designation refers to the material quality of the band and the screw housing. A W1 clamp is made from galvanized steel, suitable for dry or slightly humid environments. A W2 clamp combines a stainless steel band with a galvanized screw housing, while a W4 clamp is entirely made from stainless steel and therefore offers the highest level of corrosion resistance. For applications outdoors, near road salt, or within cooling systems, W4 is the recommended choice.
The hose clamps in this category are divided by construction type and application. Single clamps with a screw band are used for sealing one hose or pipe. They are available in a wide range of diameter and bandwidth variants so that the right clamp is available for every hose size. ABA hose clamp trailer versions are supplied in packs of 25 or 50, which matches the needs of a workshop that regularly processes larger quantities. In addition to single clamps, there are double clamp versions that simultaneously secure two adjacent hoses or pipes with one fastening element. This type reduces installation time and minimizes the number of components required, which is a direct advantage in a busy trailer manufacturing environment. The ABA hose clamp in double configuration is available in multiple size variants for various pipe diameters.
The Norma hose clamp is represented in this category by the Torro series and the one-piece super clamp. The Torro is one of the most widely used hose clamps in Europe and is characterized by its hexagonal screw housing, which allows for a controlled and even connection. The Norma one-piece super clamp is distinguished by its construction without loose parts, which simplifies installation and eliminates the risk of losing components during assembly. These clamps are available with M6, M8 and M10 screw connections depending on the required tightening torque and the diameter of the hose.
In addition to hose clamps, the category also includes bungee cords. Bungee cords are used in the transport and trailer manufacturing sector to secure tarpaulins, nets, cover sheets and loading floor coverings. They are a consumable item present in every workshop, at every body builder and at every semi-trailer specialist. Bungee cord trailer applications require an elastic that is resistant to UV radiation, temperature fluctuations and prolonged mechanical load. The bungee cords in this category are fitted with an S-hook for quick attachment to tie-down straps, nets and tailgates, and are made from weather-resistant rubber suitable for use in a wide range of climatic conditions. They are supplied in bulk packs so that the workshop always has sufficient stock for daily use.
The combination of hose clamps and bungee cords in one category is not coincidental. Both product groups serve the same moment in the build or maintenance process: the definitive securing and sealing of connections and loads on a vehicle. Whether it is a W4 stainless steel hose clamp sealing a coolant line on a truck, a Norma hose clamp securing an air hose on a trailer, or a bungee cord fixing a tarpaulin on a semi-trailer, every product in this category contributes to the reliability and safety of the vehicle in operation. Workshops, trailer builders, body builders and transport companies with their own maintenance department will find the complete range they need for professional and efficient working.
