A turnbuckle is a common rigging device that is used to adjust tension and reduce slack in a rope, cable, or similar tensioning assembly.

Turnbuckles are a diverse product line that are used in a variety of applications across many different industries. They can be used in applications as simple as providing tension in a fence or perimeter cable, or something as complicated as the construction of a suspension bridge.

Like other rigging hardware products, turnbuckles are available in many different sizes, configurations, and types. We realize that there aren't a lot of available resources out there to educate you on turnbuckles, especially if you aren't already familiar with them.

Ensuring you are using and selecting the right device is important to maintaining a safe and effective rigging program. We want to make sure you have the information necessary to help you determine the right type of turnbuckle for your application-or whether you should be using a turnbuckle in the first place.
