Shackles
All shackles have a specific design for a specific application. examples are the “Super” shackles which are made out of grade 8 steel enabling the dimensions of the shackles to be minimized for use in limited space conditions, without loss of functionality or Working Load Limit.
Furthermore, shackles used for lifting applications are stamped with the following marks, to specify the quality and safety of use of the shackles:
- Working Load Limit (up to 150.00 Ton) ; Size (by Inch).
Screw pin shackles are used mainly for non-permanent applications. Safety bolt shackles are used for long-term or permanent applications or where the load may slide on the pin causing rotation of the pin.Chain or dee shackles are mainly used on one-leg systems whereas anchor or bow shackles are mainly used on multi-leg systems.
