Shackle Application & Selection Notes

Shackles are used in lifting and static systems as removable links to connect (steel) wire rope, chain and other fittings. 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.

Shackles can either be supplied hot dipped galvanised, electro-galvanised, painted or self colour, depending on the type of shackle and its application.

1. Never Exceed specified working load limited.

2. Side Loading of Shackles:

Side loading will result in damage of screw pin/bolt pin or bow body, this will easily deform the body of  hook and shackle strengthness.

Side Loading Reduction Chart  For Screw Pin and Bolt Type Shackles Only
Angle of Side Load  from Vertical In-Line of shackle	Adjusted Working Load Limit
0 degree In-Line *	100% of Rated Working Load Limit
45 degree from In-Line *	70% of Rated Working Load Limit
90 degree from In-Line *	50% of Rated Working Load Limit

This Sheet only for reference, please take care the working load limited when using, Propore usage way is the first!

Never use the commercial shackle for lifting purpose!

These shackle only for commercial using. For Connecting with Chain and Wire rope and others fittings.
