Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a screw pin D shackle and a bolt-type shackle?
Screw pin shackles feature a threaded pin that can be quickly screwed in and out by hand or with a tool, making them suitable for temporary connections. Bolt-type shackles use a nut and bolt, offering a more secure connection for permanent applications.
Are these shackles suitable for saltwater use?
Yes, the 316 stainless steel construction provides excellent resistance to saltwater and harsh marine environments, making them ideal for onboard and offshore use.
How do I choose the correct size shackle?
Select a shackle with a working load limit that meets or exceeds the maximum load in your application. Also ensure the pin diameter fits comfortably through the eye of the rope, chain, or fitting you are connecting.
Can these shackles be used for lifting?
Yes, when used within their rated working load limits and with proper rigging practices, they are suitable for overhead lifting. Always inspect shackles before use and replace any that show signs of wear or corrosion.
