Industrial Shackles
Shackles are industrial connecting components used to join chains, wire ropes, hooks, and lifting equipment in heavy-duty applications. They are typically made from carbon or alloy steel with tensile strength ranging from 500 to 1200 MPa and surface hardness of 30–45 HRC. Shackles are manufactured in U-shaped U-Shackle and bow-shaped Bow Shackle types, with sizes designed to handle loads from 0.5 to 20 tons. Surfaces are usually hot-dip galvanized or industrially coated for corrosion, rust, and wear resistance. Precision engineering ensures uniform stress distribution.
Structurally, shackles consist of a main body and a pin or bolt, secured by threading or bushings to provide stable and safe connections. Pins are made of hardened steel to withstand high dynamic and static loads. Shackles are widely used in oil, gas, mining, construction, transportation, and lifting operations, providing reliable performance in temperatures from −40°C to +200°C.
