TB Car With Shackle, Single Control Line Sheaves & Beckets

Compact Efficiency for High-Load Traveller Systems

The Lewmar TB Car with Shackle, Single Control Line Sheave & Beckets is engineered to deliver dependable, high-load traveller performance in a compact and efficient configuration. Designed for both performance cruising and racing yachts, it combines stable load handling with streamlined control-line management for precise sail trim in demanding conditions.

Track-Bearing (TB) Car Design

The Track-Bearing (TB) configuration directs load forces efficiently into the traveller track, ensuring stable alignment and predictable movement under tension. This design supports smooth traveller operation with reduced friction, allowing accurate trimming and consistent control even when managing powerful mainsheet loads.

Integrated Shackle Attachment

A robust, marine-grade shackle provides a secure and versatile connection point for mainsheet blocks or purchase systems. This direct link ensures efficient load transfer while allowing flexibility in rig configuration to suit a wide range of deck layouts and sailing applications.

Single Control Line Sheave for Streamlined Handling 

The integrated single control line sheave enables smooth, low-friction routing of traveller control lines. This simplified configuration reduces system complexity while maintaining precise control during trimming and easing, supporting efficient operation with minimal deck clutter.

Dual Beckets for Compact Purchase Systems

Incorporating dual beckets, the car provides secure fixed termination points for control lines, enabling compact purchase or cascade arrangements. This feature allows increased mechanical advantage in a confined space, supporting clean, efficient system layouts without the need for additional fittings.

Smooth, Consistent Performance

Precision-engineered bearing interfaces and carefully designed load paths ensure low-friction travel along the track. The result is smooth, predictable traveller movement, improved sail-shape control, and reduced wear on both lines and hardware during repeated high-load adjustments.

Marine-Grade Construction

Manufactured from durable, corrosion-resistant marine-grade materials, the Lewmar TB Car is built to withstand sustained loads, impact forces, and harsh offshore environment. Its robust construction ensures long-term reliability and dependable performance in both cruising and racing applications.

System Integration & Application

Designed for seamless compatibility with Lewmar traveller systems, the TB Car with Shackle, Single Control Line Sheave & Beckets is suitable for new installations and professional refits. Commonly specified for mainsheet traveller systems, it provides a refined, system-led solution where strength, efficiency, and compact functionality must work together, backed by Lewmar’s proven expertise in high-performance sail-handling hardware.
