Frequently Asked Questions
What is a straight shackle (SC) used for?
Straight shackles are designed for applications where the load is applied in a straight line. They are commonly used in marine rigging, lifting chains, wire ropes, and tie-down systems to connect components securely.
What are the available material and finish options?
Our straight shackles are available in galvanized carbon steel for general marine use or stainless steel (316L) for highly corrosive environments. The galvanized finish provides sacrificial protection, while stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance and is ideal for permanent or offshore applications.
How do I select the correct shackle size for my application?
Select a shackle based on the working load limit (WLL) required and the diameter of the chain, wire, or rope being connected. The shackle's pin diameter and inside width must be compatible with the components. Always verify the WLL is greater than the maximum expected load.
What is the difference between a straight shackle and a bow shackle?
A straight shackle (SC) has a narrow 'U' shape designed for in-line pulls, while a bow shackle (B/C) has a rounded shape that allows multi-angle loading. Straight shackles are often preferred for vertical lifts or where alignment is critical.
