Strainers & Turnbuckles
Barrel strainers and turnbuckles tension and fine-tune wire rope, safety lines and flying systems, letting riggers adjust a line's tension after installation without replacing the rope itself.
MTN Shop stocks the Doughty range in M8 and M10 barrel strainer sizes, plus a hook and eye configuration for connecting directly to a shackle or bracket without an additional fitting.

Barrel Strainers for Fine Tensioning
The Doughty Barrel Strainers/Turnbuckles, available in M8 and M10 bolt sizes, let you adjust the tension of a wire rope or safety line after it's installed, by turning the central barrel to draw the two threaded ends together or apart. This makes small tension corrections possible without disconnecting or re-cutting the line.
Hook and Eye Strainers
The Doughty Hook and Eye Strainers combine a hook fitting on one end with an eye on the other, connecting directly to a shackle, bracket or eye bolt without needing a separate connector. This suits installations where one end needs to hook onto an existing fitting rather than bolt through it.
Warranty and Load Ratings
All strainers and turnbuckles sold by MTN Shop EU are genuine Doughty stock, sourced through official distribution, so full manufacturer warranty applies as it would from the brand directly. As with all load-bearing rigging hardware, confirm the rated capacity of the specific size you're ordering before use, and never exceed it.
Choosing the Right Strainer
Choose the bolt size (M8 or M10) that matches the thread of the eye bolts, shackles or brackets at either end of your line. Where one end needs to connect to a hook rather than a threaded or bolted fitting, the hook and eye version avoids needing an extra connector piece.
