Shackle
Shackles are versatile and strong hardware components used for securing, lifting, and connecting heavy loads. They are commonly used in marine, industrial, and construction applications and come in various designs, such as bow shackles, D shackles, and chain shackles, each offering different strengths and functionalities.
- Bow Shackles feature a rounded shape and are designed to handle multi-directional loads. They are widely used in marine and industrial applications for securing heavy equipment and loads.
- D Shackles have a more compact, straight-sided design and are often used for securing ropes, cables, or chains in a linear direction. They are particularly useful in lifting and towing operations.
- Chain Shackles are specifically designed to connect chain links, making them ideal for rigging, lifting, and securing loads.
Shackles are available with different pin types, such as screw pins, bolt pins, or quick-release pins, allowing for easy installation and removal. Their strength, reliability, and ability to withstand high loads make them an essential component in various industries.
