Stainless steel turnbuckles — also called rigging screws — are the core tensioning components in any wire rope or cable system. Hilink supplies AISI 304 and AISI 316 marine-grade turnbuckles in three end-fitting configurations to fit every rigging application: jaw-jaw, eye-eye, and hook-hook. All turnbuckles are forged and polished, with smooth-operating internal threads that hold tension reliably under load.
