Patterson unveiled its new 40ft YoYo Winch for the tank barge market at the International WorkBoat Show 2011, showing how it can help barge operators save millions. The 40ft YoYo Winch was also recently featured in the Waterways Journal Workboat Show Issue 2011.
Eminently adaptable
Patterson manufactures a wide range of customizable ratchet turnbuckles for just about any industrial application. If you need to rig it, brace it, moor it, secure it, or tie it down—whatever it is—we probably have the ratchet turnbuckle that’s right for the job. In fact, we’re known for our large inventory and willingness to fill custom orders (even small ones). We either have it on hand or can make it for you fast. That saves you time and money.
We start with a smart design.
All of Patterson’s patented ratchet turnbuckles feature barrels made from cold-drawn steel tubing—not from welded pipe. And all of our turnbuckles are equipped with screw stops to decrease the chance of accidental disassembly or loosening.
Design it yourself? Almost.
Our ratchet turnbuckles are available in a variety of standard sizes and configurations, and we can also design to your specifications. Most of our ratchet turnbuckles feature a spring-activated pawl in the handles, but you can also order gravity pawl handles. Need barrel hex drives? We can do that. Hand-wheel or vise-type handles? They’re available, too. And our turnbuckles are available galvanized for reduced maintenance in saltwater applications.
