Are Green Pin^® Turnbuckles suitable for lifting applications?

Green Pin^® Turnbuckles G-6311, G-6312, G-6313, G-6314, G-6315, G-6323 and G-6333 are suitable for lifting applications. These items have a Proof Load equal to 2 x WLL and Minimum Breaking Load equals to 5x WLL. Of course the “Instructions for use”, as we publish them in our catalogue should be respected at all times.

Note: It is not permitted to adjust the length of the turnbuckle under full load. Tensioning below the WLL is permitted. It is advisable first to adjust roughly the length of the turnbuckle and then load the turnbuckles to a certain tension. The tension may not exceed the full capacity (WLL).

Note: that it is not permitted to lift a load by tensioning (rotating the body) the turnbuckle, as shown in the picture below:
