Full details
The Husqvarna Turning Strap (505698020) is a specialized forestry tool engineered for professional loggers and arborists who need to safely manipulate and turn jammed or felled trees. It provides a significant safety advantage by allowing operators to apply leverage to timber without manual straining; however, it requires proficiency in forestry techniques and must be used alongside a compatible lifting hook to function effectively.

FAQs
Can this strap be used for towing logs?
No, this strap is designed for turning and manipulating jammed trees manually, not for skidding or towing heavy timber with machinery.
Is a lifting hook included with the strap?
No, the Husqvarna turning strap is a standalone component and must be purchased and used with a compatible lifting hook.
How should I store the strap?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, chemicals, and sharp objects to prolong the life of the material.
What is the maximum weight capacity?
The strap is intended for manual manipulation of timber. Always use sound professional judgment and never exceed the load limits of your lifting hook or your own physical capacity.
Can I use this for climbing?
Absolutely not. This product is strictly for forestry ground work and must never be used for climbing or life-support applications.
Troubleshooting
Strap slips off the log during turning
Ensure the strap is positioned at a balanced point on the log and verify that the lifting hook is providing constant, firm tension.
Visible fraying on the edges of the strap
Inspect the contact points for sharp bark or rocks that may be causing abrasion and discontinue use if the integrity is compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the device, ensure the strap is threaded through or attached correctly to your designated forestry lifting hook. Always inspect the webbing for fraying, tears, or cuts before each use. If the strap shows signs of structural fatigue, it should be removed from service immediately to avoid failure under load. Clean the strap after use by removing mud and debris with a soft brush and allowing it to air dry in a shaded area away from direct UV sunlight, which can degrade the synthetic fibers over time.
