Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose between a bow shackle and a dee shackle?
Use a dee shackle for straight-line pulls where the load is mainly in line with the pin. Choose a bow shackle when you need to connect multiple slings or when the load angle may change, as the wider bow offers more space and flexibility.
Can these stainless steel shackles be used in marine or outdoor environments?
Yes, the stainless steel construction provides strong resistance to rust and corrosion, making these shackles well suited to marine, coastal and outdoor applications. Regular inspection and cleaning are still recommended to maximise service life.
What load capacity shackle should I select for my lifting operation?
Select a shackle with a working load limit at least equal to, and preferably greater than, the maximum load you intend to lift. Always consider the full lifting configuration, including angles and any dynamic forces, and follow relevant lifting regulations and best practice.
