Typical applications

Tensioning lashing bars between deck lashing points and container corner castings; rail wagon and vessel securing arrangements.

Description

The turnbuckle is what actually takes the slack out of a lashing. It connects the deck end of a lashing bar to a D-ring or lashing eye and is wound up until the bar is tight. Two end types are stocked to match the bar: hook-to-jaw and knob. Both are rated to 250 kN, and each is turned with its own spanner, and the two are not interchangeable.
