Turnbuckles

Turnbuckles that take up the slack in a lashing bar before a vessel sails, wound tight with a matching spanner, stocked in hook-to-jaw and knob-type ends, both rated 250 kN in tension.

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 weigh 13.5 kg, each turned with its own spanner, and the two are not interchangeable.

Features

• Two end types — hook-to-jaw and knob — matched to the lashing bar in use
• Both rated 250 kN in tension
• Tightened with a matching turnbuckle spanner
• Classification-society approved — GL, BV and CCS
