Choosing a lifting shackle
Start with the load. Check the working load limit marked on the shackle against the load it will carry, including any angle in the sling legs, and choose the shackle with the capacity to match. Then choose the shape: a bow shackle has a wider rounded body that takes more than one sling leg or a sling at an angle, while a dee shackle has a narrower body and suits a straight, in-line pull.
Screw pin shackles are quick to fit and remove. Safety pin shackles are listed for use where you want the pin held with a bolt, nut and split pin rather than relying on the thread alone. Grade M and Grade S are listed in the product titles, so check the data sheet for the working load limits and sizes that apply to the product you choose.
Always check the data sheet. Confirm the working load limit, size and any certification for your application before lifting, and inspect every shackle before use.

Lifting shackle FAQs
What is the difference between a bow shackle and a dee shackle?
A bow shackle has a wider, rounded body that suits a sling at an angle or more than one sling leg. A dee shackle has a narrower body and suits a straight, in-line pull. Check the working load limit marked on the shackle either way.
What is the difference between a screw pin and a safety pin shackle?
A screw pin shackle uses a threaded pin that screws into the eye, so it is fast to fit and remove. A safety pin shackle is listed for use where the pin is secured with a bolt, nut and split pin. Check the data sheet for the version you choose.
What do Grade M and Grade S mean?
They are the grades listed in the product titles for the Beaver and Toho shackles. Working load limits and sizes vary by product, so confirm them on the data sheet before you lift.
