Turnbuckles
Our TB line of turnbuckles is specially designed for high-risk/high-value lifts.
Machined Stainless Steel
Most turnbuckles are forged and many are of uncertain quality. This can lead to added costs and delays if they fail testing, or, in the worst case, result in injury to people or property.
We machine our turnbuckles from stainless steel billet stock for the best, most consistent material properties. The smooth, machined surface is also easy to clean.

Convenient Sizes
In addition to the standard turnbuckle sizes, we offer short sizes for applications where limited adjustment is needed and height is limited. This is especially valuable in crane lifts where hook height is a concern.
Stringent Testing
We exceed the normal industrial testing requirements for turnbuckles. Forged turnbuckles meet the ASTM F1145 standard, which requires that a small number of samples from each lot are proof tested. We proof test 100% of our turnbuckles. Each turnbuckle is tested three times: extended, retracted, and in the middle, to meet NASA-STD-8719.9.
Samples from each lot are destructively tested, and the entire lot is destroyed if any samples fail testing.
If required, we can provide x-ray inspection of turnbuckles. The billet stock provides a clean x-ray, without the voids and inclusions sometimes found in forgings and castings.
