Bow Shackle – Steel – Cartec

Bow 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.

The terms anchor shackles and bow shackles are both used interchangeably and refer to a type of shackle with a larger, round “O” shaped bow. A larger bow shape allows these types of shackles to be side loaded or used in multiple sling-leg connections. Anchor shackles can be used for side pulling when you factor in the reduction to the WLL based on the angle deviation from in-line (0°).

This shackle is not suitable for lifting loads.
