Maximise the load-bearing capacity of your GTS with the Back-Up from below!

The “Strut GTS +” is mounted vertically under the GTS and forms a stiff triangle! This is needed when you reach the load limits of your GTS – either you plan for this from the outset, or you simply mount the set afterwards. Similar to the “Cable Suspension” above, you can almost double the load capacity of your bolts!

The set includes:

GTS Safety
Special turnbuckle for GTS
