A tensioner pad assembly, adapted to be mounted on an endless track of a tensioner to frictionally clamp an elongated product supported and moved by the tensioner, the pad assembly comprising: - a carrier member, extending in a longitudinal direction, the carrier member having: - a base portion, which base portion extends in the longitudinal direction of the carrier member and is adapted to be mounted on a track member of an endless track of the tensioner; - an imaginary plane, which imaginary plane extends in the longitudinal direction of the carrier member and divides the carrier member in a left half and a right half, and - two outward facing gripping member mating surfaces, facing away from each other and away from the imaginary plane, which gripping member mating surfaces each extend in the longitudinal direction of the carrier member and are located on opposite sides of, and are symmetrically placed relative to, the imaginary plane of the carrier member; and - a pair of gripping members, each gripping member having: - a foot, which foot is provided with a carrier member mating surface; and - a top, which top is adapted to frictionally clamp an outer circumference of the elongated product supported by the tensioner; wherein the gripping members are each with their carrier member mating surface releasable mounted in a gripping position on one of the gripping member mating surfaces of the carrier member, such that the gripping members are located on opposite sides of the imaginary plane of the carrier member; wherein the mating surfaces of the carrier member and the mating surfaces of the gripping members form interlocking structures, which interlocking structures are adapted to transfer a squeeze force, for frictionally clamping the outer circumference of the elongated product with the gripping members, from the carrier member to the gripping members, wherein the interlocking structures of the gripping member mating surfaces define multiple discrete gripping positions for releasable mounting the gripping members, in order to adapt the pad assembly to a diameter of an elongate product to be supported and moved by the tensioner, and wherein the gripping member mating surfaces extend at an angle relative to each other, such that the multiple discrete gripping positions differ in their distance to the base portion as well as in their distance to the imaginary plane of the carrier member. - a carrier member, extending in a longitudinal direction, the carrier member having: - a base portion, which base portion extends in the longitudinal direction of the carrier member and is adapted to be mounted on a track member of an endless track of the tensioner;
