Ratchet Turnbuckles

What you will find here

This section lists 45 ratchet turnbuckles across 1 sub-categories (Ratchet Turnbuckle Kits). Prices currently range from $29.99 to $469.99 in US dollars, and every product page shows the complete table of sizes and options so you can compare without clicking through each listing.

Common uses

Buyers use ratchet turnbuckles for crane, hoist and rigging work, construction, industrial and shop rigging and pulling, positioning and load handling. Never exceed the rated working load limit for your hitch type and sling angle, and inspect gear before every lift.

How to choose ratchet turnbuckles

Match the binder to your chain size and grade. Ratchet binders tension gradually with less kickback; lever binders are quicker but store more energy in the handle.

Working load limits in this section run from 6,600 lbs to 42,000 lbs. Use the working load limit — never the breaking strength — when you plan a load.

Three steps to the right choice

1. Match capacity to the lift. Choose gear whose WLL exceeds the load in the hitch you will use.
2. Mind the angle. Sling angles under 60° raise leg tension sharply; use the capacity chart for your angle.
3. Inspect every time. Retire gear with cuts, heat damage, stretched links, distorted hooks or missing tags.

Materials compared

• Steel (34 products) — Steel offers high strength and abrasion resistance; check the finish for rust protection.
• Heavy Duty Forged Steel (1 product) — Steel offers high strength and abrasion resistance; check the finish for rust protection.

Specifications to compare

• End fitting — the hardware at the end of the strap or chain. Match it to your anchor points — flat hooks for flatbed rub rails, wire or snap hooks for D-rings, grab hooks for chain, E-track fittings for E-track.
• Breaking strength — the force at which the item fails in testing. It is not a working rating — always plan with the WLL, which is set well below breaking strength.
• Working load limit (WLL) — the maximum load the item is rated to carry in normal service. For cargo securement, the WLLs of all tie-downs on a load must add up to at least half the cargo weight (FMCSA 49 CFR 393.106).

Before you buy

• Match chain size and grade to the binders and hooks you already use.
• Confirm the working load limit covers your share of the cargo weight.
• Measure the length needed to reach anchor points on both sides.

Safety and care

• Keep your body clear of the handle path when releasing a lever binder.
• Secure the handle after tensioning so it cannot flip open.
• Do not use cheater bars unless the binder is rated for one.

Reading the option tables

Every product page in this section has a full table of options. Each row is one size, length, fitting or pack quantity you can order, with its own US dollar price and stock status. Use the table to compare prices across sizes before you click through — the cheapest listing price is often for the smallest size or single pack, so check the row that matches what you actually need.
