General Lashing Equipment · Cargo Lashing & Container Equipment
A turnbuckle designed for medium-capacity applications, such as anchor chains and mooring lines, is the MacGregor Finland Oy Turnbuckle FLX5-TB-60. This model features a high-tensile forged steel construction with a hot-dip galvanized coating per ISO 3874, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance. The tensile strength of at least 800 MPa and hardness between 35-45 HRC make it suitable for demanding maritime environments. The Turnbuckle FLX5-TB-60 is part of the TBS-3G family, known for its knob-type adjustable design and compatibility with LB-11 or LB-28 lashing bars for internal lashing. Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure optimal performance. Inspect the locking mechanism for smooth rotation and positive lock engagement, check for visible wear, plastic deformation, and hairline cracks, and clean all surfaces from rust, salt deposits, and corrosion. Ensure that corner castings are clean and free of damage, and verify valid certifications and compliance with ISO 1496-1, ISO 3874, ISO 17040, and SOLAS VI/5 requirements. Additionally, lubricate moving parts as needed, inspect brake linings every six months, change gear oil every two years, perform wildcat gauging at docking, and conduct an annual motor insulation test. Keeping spare brake linings on board is recommended due to a lead time of 3-6 weeks.
