Understanding Closed Body Rigging Screw with Jaw and Jaw

Made from high quality mild steel and with the smaller models models up to 8mm being electro-galvanized and 10mm and above with additional hot dipping galvanization these tensioning devices are robust and have good corrosion protection.

Having a minimum breaking load of 5 times the working load limit, exceeding industry standards they have excellent strength to weight ratios. They have also been proof loaded at 2 times the WLL, thus providing a good safety margin.

The metric threaded rigging screw with jaw and jaw ensures compatibility with UK and EU hardware.

Each unit is fully marked with compliance and traceability coding and documentation/certification is available.

Typical Applications

These versatile tensioning devices find many uses including yacht rigging, architectural tensioning systems, industrial lifting applications, and construction projects. In fact anywhere that precise tension adjustment as well as reliable load-bearing capacity are essential requirements for safe and effective operation.

Other Rigging Screws & Turnbuckles

Offering similar tensioning techniques but with a slightly different design our range of turnbuckles and rigging screws incorporates both galvanized and stainless steel varieties. Both materials come with a choice of termination at each end but if you can't find what you need, please get in touch.
