Chain turnbuckle

A chain turnbuckle is used as a tensioning mechanism for securing heavy loads with chains on rail, road and water transport.

For effective operation of the chain turnbuckle, the binding chain is placed on the hook with the greatest tensioning force. The remaining slack is then taken up using a lever or ratchet mechanism. This ensures reliable fixation of heavy loads, including those of increased hazard.

Design types:

• with chain branches and snap hooks at the ends;
• with a ratchet device for reversing the direction of travel when tensioning or releasing the binding;
• with hooks for shortening the chain length.

The choice of chain mechanism depends on the expected load and the diameter of the working chain. Each product is marked with the turnbuckle’s name and key specifications. When using the tensioner, note that it is designed only for linear tension along the central axis.
