About the Rigging Screw with Jaw & Eye

All models are hot dipped galvanized apart from the smallest two which are electro-galvanized. This dual sided rigging screw incorporates a jaw fitting at one end and a closed eye at the other, therefore different anchoring points and attachment fittings can be used. The opposite ends are threaded differently so that a simple turn of the centre barrel will increase or decrease the length in tandem. (depending on which way you turn the barrel).

The overall design of these rigging screws means they are ideal for professional rigging applications. They have a better looking finish when compared to open turnbuckle tensioners. For this reason they are often used for tensioning wire rope in balustrade systems, in gardens, on decking of for any other type of rope barrier, where aesthetics is important. The stainless steel option will look even better.

The metric thread system ensures compatibility with other hardware in the UK and EU and is clearly marked with the WLL, makers ID. Trace code and CE/UKCA compliance marks. Documentation available.

Rope Tensioners and Other Rope Fittings

Rope tensioners come in two common formats – rigging screws and turnbuckles. They operate in the same way, however turnbuckles tend to be able to handle more load/tension than rigging screws.
