Shackles for Lifting

LiftingSafety offers a great selection of lifting shackles available online! 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!
