Most people think turnbuckles can’t be used in overhead lifts—they’re wrong.
Turnbuckles actually fall under ASME B30.26 Rigging Hardware—a lifting standard.
So why would you use one?
When your lift demands precision, keeping everything level, aligned, and locked in place, a turnbuckle can help fine-tune lift points by centimeters. That can make all the difference in high-stakes, exact-position lifts.

I will remember times like these when a friend asks me why I know so much about crane operation even though I will likely never use a crane in my life.
