SHACKLES Shackles are used in lifting and static systems as removable links to connect (steel) wire rope, chain and other fittings. SCREW PIN SHACKLES Are commonly used for non-permanent applications. SAFETY PIN SHACKLES Are used for long-term or permanent applications or where the load may slide on the pin, causing rotation of the pin. DEE SHACKLES Are typically used on one-leg systems whereas Bow shackles are mainly used on multi-leg systems. SHACKLES SHOULD BE INSPECTED BEFORE USE TO ENSURE THAT: • All markings are legible • The threads of the pin and the body are undamaged • The body and the pin are not distorted or unduly worn • The body and pin are free from nicks, gouges, cracks and corrosion • The shackle is not to be heat treated as this may affect their Working Load Limit • Never modify, repair or reshape a shackle by welding, heating or bending as this will affect the Working Load Limit • Never use a safety bolt type shackle without using the split cotter pin. GRADE ‘S’ SHACKLES Our Grade S Shackles are a rated shackle that meet the requirement of AS 2741. Grade S Shackles are the most common shackles used in lifting applications, with a high strength to size ratio. • Available in both Dee and Bow configurations • Available in both Screw Pin and Safety Pin type - see drawing A and B for more information • Because the pin holds more load than the body, the pin diameter is larger than the body diameter • For the same W.L.L, they are smaller than grade M OUR GRADE S SHACKLES COME IN TWO COLOUR CONFIGURATIONS: BEAVER STANDARD GRADE S: Yellow pin BEAVER COLOUR CODED GRADE S: Body and pin colour coded to AS 2741, for easy match to components • The Body ID and date of Manufacture = the Batch ID
