Rigging toggles are essential components within a sailboat’s standing rigging. Acting as a universal joint, they allow controlled articulation between fittings, reducing stress and metal fatigue on wire terminals, turnbuckles, and chainplates caused by mast movement fore-and-aft or laterally.
Our marine rigging toggles are designed for strength, reliability, and long-term performance in harsh marine environments. Most models are manufactured from high-grade 316 stainless steel to ensure excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.
Types of Rigging Toggles Available
We stock a comprehensive selection of stainless steel toggles suitable for a wide range of standing rigging applications:
- Welded Toggles – Strong and reliable stainless steel construction for standard rigging articulation.
- Machined Toggles – Precision manufactured for strength and consistency.
- Toggle Link Shackles – Designed to combine toggle articulation with shackle functionality.
- XL Link Shackles – Extended articulation and load alignment capability.
- Double Jaw Toggles – Ideal for inline connections where articulation is required at both ends.
- Mast Head Toggles – Specifically suited for masthead and upper rigging connections.
- Step Down Double Jaw Toggles – Designed to accommodate differing pin sizes in one fitting.
Pin sizes range from 1/4" (6.2mm) up to 1 3/8" (34.6mm). Selecting the correct toggle type and pin diameter is essential to maintain the integrity and strength of your standing rigging.
Why Rigging Toggles Matter
Without proper articulation, standing rigging components can experience side loading, increasing wear and the risk of premature fatigue. Installing the correct toggle ensures loads remain correctly aligned, improving safety and extending the life of your rigging system.
