General Lashing Equipment · Cargo Lashing & Container Equipment
Designed with a knob-type adjustable mechanism and hot-dip galvanized coating, the Turnbuckle TBS-3G/..FB from MacGregor Finland Oy is tailored for reliable cargo lashing applications. This turnbuckle is paired with LB-11 or LB-28 lashing bars to ensure robust internal lashing systems. Constructed from high-tensile forged steel, the Turnbuckle TBS-3G/..FB meets ISO 3874 standards with a tensile strength of at least 800 MPa and hardness ranging from 35 to 45 HRC. The design supports anchor chains and mooring lines, providing a safe working load tension of 245 kN. Common failures in cargo lashing equipment include issues such as locking mechanism failure, visible wear, corrosion, and inadequate lubrication. For the Turnbuckle TBS-3G/..FB, regular inspections should check for any signs of rust, salt deposits, or corrosion on all surfaces, ensuring that the galvanized coating remains intact. Additionally, visual inspections should identify any cracks, deformation, or missing retaining pins. To maintain optimal performance, MacGregor Finland Oy recommends keeping spare brake linings on board, with a lead time of 3-6 weeks for replacement. Service notes include inspecting brake linings every six months, changing gear oil every two years, and performing wildcat gauging during docking. An annual motor insulation test is also advised to ensure the longevity and reliability of the Turnbuckle TBS-3G/..FB.
