Elastic band with hook – flat Multiflex™ tensioning strap for secure, gentle fastening
Flat rubber band with hooks in Hammer professional quality is the robust solution when loads need to be fixed quickly, cleanly and reliably – on trailers, on scaffolding, in trade, camping or event construction. The 22 mm flat strap rubber with 2 double hooks – 10 pieces in the pack distributes the force over a large area, reduces pressure peaks and thus protects sensitive surfaces such as tarpaulins, banners, paint or foils. The double hooks on both sides allow quick attachment, ensure a firm hold and are particularly gentle on materials thanks to their rounded ends. In practice, the strap often replaces a round expander Ø 10 mm – but offers a significantly better fit and less slippage thanks to the larger contact surface.
In everyday use, the elastic band with hook impresses with its Multiflex™ fiber structure with uniform stretch and high resilience – ideal when fastenings are frequently loosened and reattached. The UV-resistant sheath withstands sun, rain and temperature fluctuations; the color-coded variants help to identify lengths at a glance. Whether as a tarpaulin tensioner, tensioning strap with double hooks, flat expander strap or elastic strap with hooks – the application is self-explanatory and the benefits are immediately noticeable.

Practical benefits & application examples
As a tarpaulin tensioner for construction fences, trade fair banners and tarpaulins, the strap fits flat and prevents point loads. It reliably secures crates, small loads or protective covers during transportation. For camping and outdoor use, it serves as a flexible fastening tape for awnings, tarps or awnings. Thanks to the color-coded lengths, series fastenings are quickly sorted and evenly tensioned – a clear advantage over improvised cords or cable ties. Many users deliberately use it to replace round expanders: the flat tensioning strap with double hooks 60-150 cm gets caught less, does not cut and can be removed quickly even when wearing gloves. The UV resistance (level 2) and abrasion resistance (level 3) ensure robust suitability for everyday use – even with frequent use on construction sites or in vehicles.
Assembly & safety
- Attach hooks to fixed eyelets, frames or perforated plates – not to sharp edges.
- Do not overstretch the tape; adhere to the recommended working elongation.
- Select uniform lengths for series fastenings to avoid voltage peaks.
- Check regularly for abrasion, cuts and hook deformation; replace damaged belts.
- Provide additional securing points for strong wind loads or swinging superstructures.
Care & service life
The belt is generally low-maintenance. After intensive use, rinse off any dirt with water and store in a dry place. Avoid contact with solvents, hot exhaust gases or sharp-edged components. Thanks to the material-friendly hook ends and the UV-resistant sheath, the elasticity is retained for a long time – ideal for recurring installations.
Who the elastic band with hook is for
If you are looking for an elastic band with hooks 22 mm – UV-resistant for tarpaulins & banners, here is a durable elastic flat band as an alternative to Ø 10 mm round expanders. The flat expander tape with rounded hooks is color-coded for quick sorting. Projects in trade fair construction, camping or trailer conversion benefit from the high resilience of the Multiflex™ strap. The ease of use makes the system the preferred fastening strap with double hooks wherever a clean look and reliable tension are required.
The term ” rubber tensioner ” has become popular among tradespeople – the correct term here is flat tarpaulin tensioner. The wide contact surface has two advantages over a round rubber tensioner: Firstly, the strap twists less and lies smoothly; secondly, the force is distributed over a larger area, which reduces slippage and is visibly gentle on the material. The pictograms above summarize the performance values: up to 80 kg (depending on application), UV level 2 and abrasion level 3, resulting in a strong overall package for frequent indoor and outdoor installations.
FAQ – Frequently asked questions about the elastic band with hook
- What is the advantage of a flat belt over a round expander?
- The larger contact surface prevents cuts, reduces slippage and distributes the tension more evenly. This protects tarpaulins and sensitive surfaces.
- Is the elastic band with hook weatherproof?
- Yes, the polypropylene cover is weather and UV-resistant (level 2). It retains its elasticity for a long time, even with frequent outdoor use.
- What lengths are available?
- The variants range from 60 to 150 cm. All are color-coded so that the right length can be found quickly.
- Can the belt replace a round expander Ø 10 mm?
- Yes, the 22 mm flat belt offers comparable tensioning performance, but distributes the force better and thus reduces slippage.
- How high is the load capacity?
- The tape is tested to approx. 800 N before breaking. In normal use, the recommended working elongation should be observed.
- Is the elastic band suitable for construction fences and banners?
- Yes, it is often used as a tarpaulin tensioner and ensures clean, low-tension fastening of banners, nets and covers.
- Can I hang the hooks anywhere?
- The hooks fit into eyelets, frames or gratings. Important: no sharp edges to avoid material damage.
- Is the strap also suitable for camping and outdoor use?
- Absolute – ideal for attaching awnings, tarps, awnings or equipment. It is lightweight, robust and compact.
- How do I recognize wear?
- Look out for sheath tears, cuts, severe thinning or bent hooks. Damaged straps should always be replaced.
- How do I care for the elastic band with hook correctly?
- Clean with water after use, store in a dry place and avoid contact with solvents or hot surfaces.










Siglinde Kraft –
Sehr gutes Produkt. Seitdem werden meine Kartons beim sichern nicht mehr kaputt. Die Breite von 22mm sind viel besser als mit einem Gummiseil

Das Flachbandgummi mit den 2 Doppelhaken ist perfekt für meinen Anhänger. Die Haken sitzen fest, nichts rutscht und das Gummi ist extrem stabil. Endlich eine zuverlässige Lösung, die auch nach vielen Einsätzen nicht ausleiert. Absolute Empfehlung!
