Frequently Asked Questions

What are rigging screws and turnbuckles used for?

Rigging screws and turnbuckles are used to adjust and maintain tension in lifting, rigging and restraint systems. They help align loads, remove slack and keep cables, chains, or rods securely tensioned.

What are the common uses of turnbuckle tensioners?

Common uses include lifting setups, load restraint, fencing, bracing, marine rigging and structural tensioning. Turnbuckle tensioners allow precise adjustment without removing the connected components.

What is the difference between rated and commercial turnbuckles?

Rated turnbuckles are designed and tested for lifting applications and have a verified working load limit. Commercial turnbuckles are generally used for restraint or tensioning and should not be used for overhead lifting unless clearly rated for such use.

How do I choose the correct rigging turnbuckle?

Consider the load, application, environment, and end-fitting type. The turnbuckle must match or exceed the system's working load. Our team can help you select the right option.

How do I prevent a turnbuckle from unwinding?

Turnbuckles can be secured with lock nuts, safety wire, or by tensioning them correctly. Stainless steel turnbuckles with lock nuts are commonly used where vibration or movement is expected.

Are turnbuckles suitable for lifting applications?

Only turnbuckles rated and suitable for overhead use should be used in lifting applications. Always check specifications before use.
