Shackles for Lifting
LiftingSafety offers a great selection of lifting shackles with the majority available to buy online at sale prices! These essential components act as the link between your lifting equipment—such as a hoist hook or sling—and the load you are working with. You’ll typically encounter two main types: D-shackles (or Dee shackles) and bow shackles, which are also referred to as Omega shackles.
Our inventory includes a wide array of shackles, ranging from galvanized and self-coloured (forged black steel) to stainless steel options. The galvanized types are generally US Federation specification alloy steel, while the black forged steel versions are high tensile and generally to BS3032, but these can also be galvanised if required.
It’s important to keep in mind that US Fed spec anchor shackles generally tend to be smaller than the high tensile black BS3032 self-color shackles, despite having the same safe working load. To secure the load pin, you have two main options: the screw pin, which screws into the shackle body like a bolt, or safety pin shackles, where the pin slides through and is secured with a split pin or nut with a split pin.
Additionally, we offer a diverse range of stainless steel, ROV (remotely operated vehicle, also referred to as ROUV - remotely operated underwater vehicle) and wide-body shackles that are all rated for lifting applications and supplied with a Declaration of Conformity as standard! Whether you’re lifting heavy objects or need dependable hardware, we’ve got everything you need!

Features: Forged Alloy Steel 2 thru 200 metric tons. Cast Alloy Steel 250 thru 400 metric tons. Working Load Limit is permanently shown on every shackle. All sizes are individually proof tested to 2.0 times the Working Load Limit. Pins are galvanized and painted red.
Certification must be requested at time of order. Shackles are quenched and tempered and can meet DNV impact requirements of 42 joules at -20 C.





These shackles significantly improve the life of wire rope slings. They can be used to connect HIGH STRENGTH round slings, synthetic round slings or wire rope slings. An increase in shackle bow radius provides minimum 58% gain in sling bearing surface, increases usable sling strength a minimum of 15%.
Features: Quenched and tempered for maximum strength, forged alloy steel, available in galvanized (G2169) and self-coloured (S2169) finish.
Capacities of 7, 12.5 and 18 metric tonnes






These shackles are designed specifically for ROV applications and are manufactured with the highest quality steel available. They are also individually stamped with the safe working load. Proof tested to 2 times the safe working load - test certs are provided. Painted white to ensure ease of sight in water.

These shackles have capacities from 6.5 to 55 metric tonnes. They are forged - quenched and tempered, with alloy pins. The working load limit is permanently shown on every shackle. The also feature quick-check deformation and angle indicators forged on the bow.
All ROV shackle bows, unless otherwise noted are galvanised and then painted fluorescent yellow.
