    Attach chain to pins on both ends of these shackles—no extra hardware needed. Connect them to two lengths of chain or use them as a stable, inline connection in a towing system.
    Warning: Not for overhead lifting.
    Cotter Pin—Slide out the unthreaded cotter pin to open these shackles quickly. The pin is not as secure as other pin types, so these shackles are best for securing loads that won't move or vibrate.
    Painted Steel—The paint provides some corrosion resistance, but can chip or wear away over time.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A cost-effective choice, the zinc plating resists occasional moisture.

    Attach chain to pins on both ends of these shackles—no extra hardware needed. Connect them to two lengths of chain or use them as a stable, inline connection in a lifting system. All meet ASME specifications for use with rigging and lifting equipment.
    Note: Capacity limits are based on loads applied in line with a straight length of rope or chain. Test all assemblies for required strength before use.
    Hammer-Set-Dowel Pin—Hammer in two dowel pins to hold the pin in place. These shackles stay put even under heavy, shifting loads and in long-term rigging setups. They also won't snag on clothing or other nearby material.
    Safety Cotter Pin—Both a threaded nut and cotter pin hold these shackles in place. Also known as bolt-type shackles, they won’t slide out with movement. This means you can use these shackles with vibrating equipment and for long-term rigging setups.
    High-Strength Powder-Coated Alloy Steel—The powder-coating won't chip off as easily as paint. These shackles combine the strength of alloy steel with corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments.
