    Safety Cotter Pin

    The most common choice for connecting slings, hooks, and more. The bow on these shackles is wider than the pin to support loads from multiple directions and accommodate multiple connectors. They’re often used to tie down or secure loads for transport or storage. Also known as bow shackles.
    Warning: Not for overhead lifting.
    Screw Pin—The most common shackle pin type. Although the pin easily connects and disconnects, it can come unscrewed or wear down over time, so it's best for temporary use.
    Flush Screw Pin—The ends of the pin sit flush with the shackle, so they won’t snag or catch on anything that might loosen the shackle.
    Captive-Locking-Screw Pin—The pin on these shackles won’t fall out or get lost. Even when unscrewed, an inner lip on the shackle ear keeps the pin from sliding all the way out. Indentations in the shackle body hold the head of the pin in place once fastened to secure it from vibration and movement.
    Safety Cotter Pin—Both a threaded nut and cotter pin hold these shackles in place. Also known as bolt-type shackles, the pin won’t slide out with movement. This means you can use these shackles with vibrating equipment and for long-term rigging setups.
    Highly-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Our most corrosion-resistant shackles stand up to moisture, salt water, and chemicals.

    Pair these shackles with chain to pull and tow loads. The narrow bow prevents chain links from sliding or moving, but they're rated for inline tension only—they can’t handle pulling or tension to the side. Also known as chain shackles.

    Gain extra reach with these shackles. With an elongated body, they can connect loads to an anchor point too far for a standard shackle. They're best paired with chain, since their narrow bow prevents chain links from sliding or moving. These shackles are rated for inline tension only—they can’t handle pulling or tension to the side.
    Warning: Not for overhead lifting.

    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.

    Connect loads perpendicular to your anchor point without any twisting or knotting. The bow on these shackles is twisted 90° from the orientation of the pin, so they keep chain, ropes, and slings connected to the load and lifting point properly aligned.
    Warning: Not for overhead lifting.
    Screw Pin—The most common shackle pin type. Although the pin easily connects and disconnects, it can come unscrewed or wear down over time, so it's best for temporary use.
    Flush Screw Pin—The ends of the pin sit flush with the shackle, so they won’t snag or catch on anything that might loosen the shackle.
    Captive-Locking-Screw Pin—The pin on these shackles won’t fall out or get lost. Even when unscrewed, an inner lip on the shackle ear keeps the pin from sliding all the way out. Indentations in the shackle body hold the head of the pin in place once fastened to secure it from vibration and movement.

    Push the spring-loaded pin or collar to fasten these shackles, then pull it to release them. Traditionally used to secure and adjust lines on boats, they open faster than shackles with a screw or cotter pin.
    Warning: Not for overhead lifting.
    Pin-Release Shackles—Attach a rope, chain, or other pull to the pin to open the shackle from a distance. The end connection swivels for easy connecting and adjusting.
    Collar-Release Shackles—Pull the collar or sides of these shackle to open them. The collar keeps the shackle closed and smooth sides so it won’t snag surfaces or get pulled open accidentally.
    High-Strength 17-4 PH Stainless Steel—Made from one of the strongest types of stainless steel, these shackles won’t deform from vibration or stress. They also stand up to wet and outdoor environments.
    Highly-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Our most corrosion-resistant shackles stand up to moisture, salt water, and chemicals.

    Keep loads distributed equally when using a web sling. The wide, flat bow on these shackles prevents slings from folding or bunching.
    Warning: Not for overhead lifting.
    Screw Pin—The most common shackle pin type. Although the pin easily connects and disconnects, it can come unscrewed or wear down over time, so it's best for temporary use.

    Flexible Shackles

    A flexible, lightweight alternative to steel shackles. Made of polyethylene rope with a nylon cover, they wrap around a variety of anchor points without marring surfaces. To close them, pull the bar through the loop and slide the rubber lock over each end of the bar. Keep these shackles away from sharp edges, which could cause them to break and fail.
