Chain Shackles

Chain Shackles

Chain shackles, or D-shackles, are used to connect lifting components in a wide range of rigging, lifting, and material handling operations. Chain Shackles are narrower than anchor shackles with smaller loops designed to accommodate high loads for in-line/straight pulling applications. The narrow bow is designed to support a heavier load than an anchor shackle of similar size. They feature a screw pin or round pin closure for easy assembly and disassembly. Ensure that the center line of the load coincides with the center line of the shackle. Chain shackles should not be side loaded, as side loading can twist or bend the bow of the shackle.

  • Choose from screw pin or round pin for quick release applications
  • Great for in-line loads or zero degree vertical lifts
  • Bow only accommodates a single chain, wire rope or other rigging component
  • Narrow, D-shaped bow provides greater strength
  • 304 stainless steel or hot dipped galvanized carbon steel provide added corrosion detection
