Description
US Type HDG Hook & Hook Turnbuckle
Turnbuckle is a heavy-duty adjustable
tensioning component designed for controlled
adjustment of tension and length in steel wire
rope, cable, structural bracing and general
industrial tensioning systems.
It features open hook connections at both
ends, allowing convenient attachment to
compatible eyes, rings and other suitable
connection points. By rotating the central
turnbuckle body, the connected assembly can
be tightened or loosened without rotating
the wire rope or cable.
The drop-forged steel construction
provides strength and durability for industrial
applications. The galvanized finish helps
protect the steel against corrosion in suitable
construction, outdoor and industrial environments.
