Description
The Crosby HG-223 Hook & Hook Turnbuckle is a high-strength rigging component designed for adjusting tension in wire rope, cable assemblies, and structural rigging systems. Built for reliability in demanding industrial environments, this turnbuckle provides safe and precise tension control in applications where accurate alignment and load stability are essential.
Manufactured from high-quality forged steel components, the HG-223 features quenched and tempered or normalised end fittings, while the body is heat-treated through normalising to ensure consistent mechanical properties and long-term durability. This combination of advanced metallurgy and heat treatment ensures the turnbuckle can withstand repeated load cycles and demanding working conditions.
To provide additional protection against corrosion, the entire assembly is hot-dip galvanised, making it suitable for outdoor environments, marine installations, construction sites, and industrial facilities where exposure to moisture and harsh conditions is common.
The hooks on the HG-223 turnbuckle are precision forged with an increased cross-sectional area, delivering enhanced strength and improved resistance to fatigue. This design improvement significantly enhances the product�s durability during repeated tensioning operations and high-load applications.
Engineered with modified UNJ threads on the end fittings, the HG-223 offers superior fatigue performance compared to traditional thread profiles. The body features UNC threads, ensuring smooth and reliable adjustment when tensioning wire rope or cable assemblies. This threaded system allows for accurate and controlled tension adjustment while maintaining structural integrity.
Designed to withstand demanding operational requirements, the HG-223 turnbuckle is fatigue rated to 20,000 cycles at 1.5 times the Working Load Limit, ensuring reliable long-term performance in industrial lifting and tensioning applications. The turnbuckle also features a 5:1 design factor, with a proof load of 2.5 times the Working Load Limit, providing a strong margin of safety during operation.
The HG-223 meets or exceeds ASME B30.26 requirements, including specifications for identification, ductility, proof loading, design factor, and operating temperature limits. In addition to these requirements, Crosby�s rigorous engineering standards ensure compliance with critical performance criteria such as fatigue life, impact properties, and full material traceability.
Further compliance includes meeting the performance requirements of Federal Specification FF-T-791b Type 1 Form 1 Class 5 and ASTM F-1145, ensuring suitability for professional rigging and structural tensioning systems.
The hook & hook configuration allows for quick installation and removal, making the HG-223 ideal for applications where rigging adjustments need to be made efficiently. Optional lock nuts are available for all sizes, providing additional security once the desired tension has been achieved.
It is important to note that turnbuckles should only be used for straight or in-line pulling applications, ensuring loads remain properly aligned and within safe operational limits.
With its high-strength forged construction, corrosion-resistant galvanised finish, fatigue-resistant threads, and Crosby-engineered reliability, the HG-223 Hook & Hook Turnbuckle is a trusted solution for industrial rigging, structural tensioning, and heavy-duty load control applications.
Safety & User Instructions
Turnbuckles are recommended for straight or in-line pull applications only.
Ensure hooks are properly engaged and aligned with the load direction before tensioning.
Inspect the turnbuckle for thread damage, cracks, or corrosion before each use.
Do not exceed the specified Working Load Limit.
When tensioning, ensure the body threads remain fully engaged with the end fittings.
Use lock nuts where necessary to secure the adjusted tension.
Follow ASME B30.26 rigging safety guidelines during installation and operation.
