Van Beest Turnbuckle Use

When using a Van Beest Green Pin turnbuckle, make sure you adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Turnbuckles are intended for straight or in-line pulling only.
  • During tensioning, make sure no deformity of this product occurs. In case of deformity, the tension should be decreased immediately and deformed parts should be replaced.
  • Extreme circumstances or shock loading, if applicable, must be considered when choosing the correct products for your application. 
  • Overloading is not permitted.
  • Do not adjust the length of the turnbuckle under full load. It is recommended to first adjust the length of the turnbuckle and then load the turnbuckles to a certain tension.
