    Safety Cotter Pin

    Your go-to choice for connecting hooks, slings, and other rigging and lifting equipment. The rounded body on these shackles supports vertical or side loads without fatiguing or warping the shape. They meet ASME specifications for rigging and lifting, so they can hoist everything from steel beams to bulldozers. Look for the manufacturer's stamp to confirm the size and weight capacity. Also known as bow shackles.
    Note: Capacities listed are for vertical lifting only. As the lift angle changes from vertical, the amount of weight the shackle can lift is significantly reduced.
    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.
    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.
    Black-Oxide Steel—The dark finish on these shackles resists occasional moisture.
    Galvanized Steel—A thick coating protects these shackles in wet and outdoor environments better than black-oxide steel. However, they corrode when exposed to salt water and chemicals.
    High-Strength Galvanized Alloy Steel—Stronger than galvanized steel with corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments.
    Highly-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Our most corrosion-resistant shackles stand up to moisture, salt water, and chemicals.

    Safety Cotter Pin

    The best choice for lifting with chain. The bow and pin are equally wide to keep chain links from sliding or moving and support heavier vertical loads than anchor shackles. However, they're rated for vertical lifting only, as side loading might deform the bow. All meet ASME specifications for use with rigging and lifting equipment. Look for the manufacturer's stamp to confirm the size and weight capacity. Also known as chain shackles.

    Long-Reach D-Type Shackles

    Screw Pin

    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.
    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 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.

    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.
