Shackle
Product Overview:
A shackle is a metal U-shaped or D-shaped device with a pin or bolt across the open end. It's commonly used to connect, secure, or fasten objects together. Shackles are often used in various industries, including maritime, construction, and manufacturing, for purposes such as connecting lifting slings, chains, ropes, tow straps or cables.
Shackle Details
Lifting Sling Shackles come in different types and designs, but they generally fall into two main categories: chain shackles and anchor shackles.
D Shackles (or Chain Shackles): These have a more compact, D-shaped design. They are primarily used for connecting chains and other fittings in a straight-line pull. The D shape helps prevent side loading, making chain shackles suitable for applications where the load is in line with the shackle.
Bow Shackles (or Anchor Shackles): These have a larger, more rounded shape, forming a bow or "U" shape. Anchor shackles are designed to handle loads from multiple directions. They are commonly used for lifting and are known for their versatility.
Shackles are typically made of high-strength steel, with alloy steel being a common choice. They are manufactured to meet industry standards and are marked with important information such as the working load limit (WLL), size, and material.
When using shackles, it's crucial to adhere to safety guidelines and ensure that the working load limit is not exceeded. Regular inspection and maintenance of shackles are also essential to ensure their continued reliability and safety in lifting, towing and rigging operations.
