Lifting Shackles
At Lifting Equipment Store, we offer every type of Green Pin Shackle on today’s market. Our range of Dee and Bow Shackles are Dutch manufactured to the highest standards, while we can provide a specific design for a specific application.
MASTERING THE CONNECTION: SHACKLES
Lifting Shackles may be small, but they play a vital role in lifting, securing, and rigging operations across various different industries. From marine and construction to industrial lifting and heavy-duty towing shackles are designed to provide secure, load-bearing connections.
Understanding the types available and their specific applications ensures that your operations can proceed safely, efficiently and reliably.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SHACKLE FOR THE JOB
Lifting Shackles are not created equal, and this is by design. The benefits one shackle provides to an industry, may not transfer to another. For example, coloured shackles, which may be used to differentiate between different applications in industrial factory settings, may not be the best option in marine applications due to their lack of saltwater and corrosion resistance.
It’s essential to assess what qualities are needed before choosing the Lifting Shackle that will be used.
LOAD RATINGS & SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Every Lifting Shackle, regardless of whether it has a specialist application or not, will have a weight loading limit (WLL), which must, under no circumstances, be exceeded.
Depending on the load that needs securing, lifting, attaching, etc. a shackle with a high enough WLL must be chosen. This will ensure that the application can proceed safely and with risk minimised.
PROPER USE AND MAINTENANCE
Whilst many different types of shackles can fulfil the same job even if they are better suited for a different purpose, in order for operations to proceed in the most cost-effective and efficient manner, the best-suited type of Lifting Shackle must be chosen for each given situation.
Similarly, proper maintenance must be regularly conducted to ensure that the Lifting Shackle is in the best condition and that future operations don’t encounter any hiccups or increases in downtime. Maintenance can be as simple as keeping shackles organised and in the right place to prevent misplacement, to more specialist procedures to keep them in top working condition.
EXPERIENCE BUILDS EXPERTISE
Every lifting or rigging situation is different, requiring skill and judgment. Whether you’re working in construction, offshore industries, or precision lifting, learning from real-world applications will help refine your techniques and improve safety.
