Shackles are essential components in lifting and rigging applications, serving as connectors between slings, chains, and hooks. Made from high-strength steel, shackles come in various types, including screw pin shackles, bolt-type shackles, and round pin shackles, each designed to meet specific load requirements. Shackles are often used in industries such as construction, marine, and heavy machinery lifting. They are manufactured to meet rigorous safety standards like ASME B30.26 and SASO 2150, ensuring they can safely support heavy loads without failure. Shackles are available in various sizes and weight ratings to suit different lifting tasks.
