Shackles: Essential Connectors for Rigging and Lifting
What Are Shackles?
Shackles are shaped like the letter U and have a pin or bolt that pierces through them. They are used to tie up belts, cords, or wires for the purpose of lifting, rigging, and towing. They guarantee that the load is firmly attached in areas of civil engineering and the manufacturing and shipping industries. Types and Safety
Popular types of shackles are bow shackles and D-shackles, which are constructed of robust steel or stainless steel. Selecting the appropriate weight limit and performing regular checks can help avoid mishaps and maintain the OSHA standards in the adverse conditions in the process of operations.
