GREENPIN SHACKLES – DESIGNED FOR SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS
Lifting Equipment Store offers every type of GreenPin Shackle on today’s market. Our Dee and Bow shackles are Dutch manufactured to the highest standards, while we can provide a specific design for a specific application. In most cases, a chain or Dee shackle is used on one-leg systems, while an anchor or bow shackle is mainly used on multi-leg systems. Our range of GreenPin shackles stretch from 0.33 Tonnes to 1500 Tonnes.
The GreenPin polar shackles are designed for use in extreme climatic conditions, while we have ROV and spring release options available, depending on our clients’ individual requirements. No matter what type we supply, it’s advised that the pin is correctly screwed into the ‘eye’ and hand tightened using a suitable tool. Side loads should ideally be avoided (as the rated load will be reduced), while a bow shackle must be assembled with the slings in the body, and the hook connected with the pin. It’s also very important to make sure shackle is supporting the load correctly, for example, along the axis of the shackle’s body centreline.

It’s important to know that load reduction has to be taken into account in extreme temperature situations too, while finishes with any version can either be hot dipped, galvanised, electro-galvanised or painted, depending on the specific application. Bow shackles are the most common type to secure loads, however, the Dee type is slimmer, making it more suitable for tighter applications. You’re always guaranteed premium quality with our GreenPin shackles and they conform to EN 13889. All versions are designed to be highly functional, and we can also provide Grade 8 steel constructed shackles without loss of functionality or WLM (Working Load Limit).
We’re regularly providing large quantities of lifting shackles in the UK and overseas, and we can ship directly to your customers. In addition to our extensive selection of GreenPin items, we also have a selection of economy shackles for capacities up to 12 Tonne, and they’re ideal for most types of lifting, rigging and pulling.
