32mm Stand-Up Toggle — Control Tangs

Harken 32mm Stand-Up Toggle — Control Tangs

The Harken 32mm Stand-Up Toggle with Control Tangs (Part No. 1948) is an essential component for big boat traveler systems, engineered to hold mainsheet blocks upright on traveler cars while simultaneously allowing the direct attachment of control blocks via integrated control tangs. This combination of functions makes it the preferred choice for performance sailors seeking efficient traveler car control setups.

Compatible with Big Boat Traveler Cars in the 3163, 3165, and T32 Series, the 1948 toggle incorporates an elastomer stand-up device that reliably keeps blocks in the correct upright orientation. The toggle features increased spacing to accommodate Element block swivel posts — a design refinement introduced for units supplied after 2019, ensuring compatibility with the current Element block range.

The 1948 includes all necessary hardware for installation: the toggle with elastomer stand-up assembled, a large cotter pin, a 10 mm (3/8") clevis pin, two 8 mm (5/16") bushings, an 8 mm (5/16") clevis pin, two becket rollers, two split rings, two 6 mm (1/4") clevis pins, and two replacement set screws. Installation requires only basic hand tools including a small slotted screwdriver, icepick, Phillips screwdriver, and needle-nose pliers.

The control tangs accept control blocks for purchase ratios ranging from 2:1 through 6:1, providing full compatibility with Harken's extensive range of traveler end control systems. The toggle's rated maximum working load of 3,401 kg (7,500 lb) ensures it is up to the demands of big boat racing and offshore cruising alike.
