What are Lifting Shackles? There are various types of shackles, such as chain shackles, anchor shackles, safety pins, and more. The maximum weight capacity varies from 0.33 T up to 1500 T - depending on the type so please check the ranges below to ensure you have the correct sizes and capacities for your application. Chain Shackles Are ‘D’ shaped and otherwise known as Dee shackles. The shackle itself has an entrance the same size as the width of the body making it perfect for connecting, hoists, and rigging as well as squeezing into tight places. They have strict quality standards to ensure great performance. This is to ensure high levels of safety and effective performance. Anchor Shackles Otherwise known as Bow Shackles feature a wider arch at the top of the bow than a deep type model, they are typically slightly larger than Chain models. They have a larger surface area so you can attach more to them and accommodate a larger sling or rigging. For example, you can attach slings and crane hooks. They are rounder in shape (more of a C shape). Some have a galvanized or powder-coated finish for protection against harsh environments, so they stay in good condition for longer.
