Hoist Factory’s Screw Pin Bow Shackles provide a dependable, multi‑purpose connection solution for lifting, rigging, towing and structural securing applications across construction, mining, engineering, transport and marine environments. Designed with a wide bow profile, these shackles are ideal for multi‑leg sling setups, accommodating larger or multiple connection points while maintaining full strength and safe load distribution.
Key Features
✔ Wide Bow Design for Versatile Rigging
The enlarged bow allows for multi‑leg slings, chain connectors, oversized hooks, and wire rope thimbles—making these shackles far more versatile than standard D shackles.
✔ Full Capacity Range: 500 kg – 55 000 kg
This ensures precise pairing with the correct sling, hook, rope or chain size.
✔ Forged, Quenched & Tempered
Each shackle is manufactured from high‑strength forged steel, then quenched and tempered to ensure durability, resistance to deformation and consistent performance under load.
✔ Alloy Steel Screw Pin
The removable screw pin is made from alloy steel for superior shear strength, and allows quick installation or removal-ideal for field rigging and adjustment.
✔ Permanent WLL Marking
Every shackle is stamped with its Working Load Limit for immediate on‑site verification and compliance.
✔ Safety Factor 6:1
These shackles are engineered to global lifting standards for maximum safety in critical lifting operations.
