HTX TB Car With Upstand, Single Control Sheaves & Becket

High-Load Traveller Control with Clean Line Leads

The Lewmar HTX TB Car with Upstand, Single Control Sheaves & Becket is engineered to deliver dependable, high-load traveller performance while maintaining efficient and tidy control-line routing. Designed for performance cruising yachts and offshore race boats, it combines structural strength with practical line-handling features in a compact, integrated traveller car assembly.

Track-Bearing (TB) Car Design

The Track-Bearing (TB) configuration is optimised to transfer traveller loads directly into the HTX beam track, providing stable alignment and predictable movement under heavy mainsheet loads. This design supports smooth trimming and easing, making it well suited to yachts with powerful sail plans and high-workload traveller systems that demand consistent, reliable performance.

Integrated Upstand for Improved Line Presentation

The built-in upstand raises the control-line sheave above the track, helping maintain clear lead angles and keeping control lines accessible when unloaded. This improves ergonomics at the cockpit, reduces the risk of snagging, and ensures clean feeds into clutches or cleats, particularly valuable in performance-focused deck layouts.

Single Control Line Sheave Function

A precision-engineered single control line sheave provides smooth, low-friction routing of traveller control lines. This streamlined configuration delivers accurate trimming and controlled easing while minimising components and maintaining a clean deck profile. The sheave geometry reduces wear on control lines during frequent, high-load adjustments.

Integrated Becket for Compact Purchase Systems

The incorporated becket offers a secure fixed termination point for control lines, allowing compact purchase or cascade arrangements without additional fittings. This supports efficient load paths and space-saving system layouts, ideal for yachts where deck real estate and component count must be carefully managed.

Smooth, Consistent Performance

Carefully engineered load paths and bearing interfaces ensure predicable, low-friction travel across the HTX beam track. This smooth operation improves sail-shape control, reduces handling effort, and extends the service life of the traveller system and associated hardware.

System Integration & Application

Designed for seamless compatibility with Lewmar HTX beam track and traveller systems, the HTX TB Car with Upstand, Single Control Sheaves & Becket is suitable for new installations and professional refits alike. Commonly specified for high-load mainsheet traveller systems on performance cruisers and offshore race boats, it offers a refined, system-led solution backed by Lewmar’s long-standing expertise in high-load sail-handling hardware.
