Alloy Steel Lifting Shackles, Bow & "D"
If you're looking for an alternative to the traditional BS 3032 lifting shackle, you are in the right place. Here we have quite a vast selection of alloy bow and dee shackles predominately from what a probably the two most well-known shackle manufacturers in the world, Van Beest (branded as Green-pin) and Crosby, typically with a red painted pin.
Due to the higher grade material, alloy shackles are considerably smaller and stronger (so with higher capacities against smaller physical sizes) than the BS3032 type and they are also galvanised as standard, with the aforementioned painted pins.
All of our lifting shackles, as standard, are supplied with a Declaration of Conformity certificate.

All Alloy Steel Lifting Shackles, Bow & "D"








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.
