General Lashing Equipment · Cargo Lashing & Container Equipment
Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the reliability and longevity of maritime equipment, particularly for critical components like turnbuckles. The Turnbuckle FLX5-TB2-50 from MacGregor Finland Oy is designed with high-tensile forged steel and a hot-dip galvanized coating per ISO 3874, providing excellent resistance to corrosion and wear. This turnbuckle is part of the TBS-3G family, featuring a knob-type adjustable design that pairs seamlessly with LB-11 or LB-28 lashing bars for internal lashing applications. To maintain optimal performance, it’s essential to inspect the Turnbuckle FLX5-TB2-50 regularly for visible wear, such as cracks, plastic deformation, and corrosion. Rust and salt deposits can significantly impact its functionality, so thorough cleaning is necessary to prevent these issues. Additionally, ensuring that all parts are free from dirt and that the galvanized coating remains intact is crucial. Service notes recommend a brake lining inspection every six months and a gear oil change every two years. Wildcat gauging should be performed during docking, and an annual motor insulation test is advised to ensure all components remain in top condition. Keeping spare brake linings on board with a lead time of 3-6 weeks can help avoid downtime. The Turnbuckle FLX5-TB2-50’s robust design and regular maintenance will ensure it remains a reliable part of your lashing system for years to come.
