Dee Shackle – Steel – Cartec

Dee Shackle – Steel

A shackle is a u-shaped, load-bearing connecting device designed to be used with a removable pin. Shackles can be used in a number of rigging and load securement applications to connect different types of lifting slings, chain, or rope to an object.

Chain shackles, also referred to as Dee shackles, have a D-shaped bow that is narrower than anchor shackles. Because these shackles are designed and rated for in-line tension, they should not be side loaded, as side loading can twist or bend the bow of the shackle. When using a chain shackle, the center line of the load should always coincide with the center line of the shackle when in use.

This shackle is not suitable for lifting loads.
