Anchor Shackles for Lifting

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.
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.
D-Type Shackles for Lifting

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.

High-Strength Galvanized Alloy Steel—Stronger than galvanized steel with corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments.
Flat Shackles for Lifting

Lift with web slings. The wide, flat bow on these shackles prevents your sling from folding or bunching to keep loads distributed equally. All meet ASME specifications for rigging and lifting equipment. Look for the manufacturer's stamp to confirm the size and weight capacity. Also known as webbing shackles. Optional spools fit on the pin to center attachments and keep rope from sliding across the pin.
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.

High-Strength Painted Alloy Steel—The paint provides some corrosion resistance, but can chip or wear away over time.
