Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose between a bow shackle and a D shackle?
Bow shackles are better for multi-leg slings or where the load angle varies, as the wider shape accommodates more connections. D (dee) shackles are suited to straight-line pulls where the load is applied mainly along the shackle’s length.
What load capacity shackle do I need for my application?
Select a shackle with a working load capacity greater than the maximum load you expect to handle, taking into account any dynamic forces or angles in the lifting arrangement. Always follow your site’s lifting guidelines and never exceed the stated capacity.
Can these galvanised shackles be used outdoors or in marine environments?
Yes. The galvanised finish provides improved protection against rust, making these shackles suitable for outdoor and many marine-related applications. However, they should still be inspected regularly and replaced if any damage or significant corrosion is observed.
