Three reasons Torklift slide on Derringer Handles make life easier in the bush

When you take your slide on camper out into the bush, the last thing you want to worry about is your slide on turnbuckles. Torklift International manufactures slide on truck camper fittings for just about every rig you can think of.

Here are three ways our Derringer Handle slide-on turnbuckles can make life easier for you while you’re out on the road:

No more torqueing

Standard slide on turnbuckles require that you tighten them down by hand and/or with a lever until they are at the proper tension. Anyone who’s ever had to do this in the heat of the Outback or any temperature has most likely broken a sweat or at the very least, exerted themselves and wasted valuable time much more than they needed to. Torklift Derringer Handles transform standard turnbuckles into an easy operation. By engaging and disengaging easily with the flip of a handle, you can leave your makeshift turnbuckle-tightening lever at home and save yourself the trouble of torqueing on your fittings.

Set and forget

With old style turnbuckles, achieving proper tension with your slide-in camper turnbuckle system is a process that has to be performed every time you tighten the turnbuckles. With Torklift Derringer Handles, once you find the proper tension to set the turnbuckles at, the Handles return them to that tension every time you close them. Set, forget and get on with enjoying your trip.
