Beaver grade S safety pin bow shackles, 25 x 29

Beaver Grade S safety pin bow shackles, 13 x 16mm to 63 x 70mm are Grade S (alloy, marked S/6) bow shackles with a safety pin closure, in WLLs from 2,000kg (2 t) to 55,000kg (55 t). The body is stamped with its WLL, grade, size and a body ID with date of manufacture, so the rating and batch can be checked on the shackle itself.

The shackles comply with AS 2741.

Where this product is used

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose the shackle by the WLL marked on it, never by the pin size alone, and make sure the shackle, the sling or chain and the lifting point are rated for the load. Inspect the shackle before each use. Check that the markings are legible, the pin and body threads are undamaged, and the body and pin are not distorted, worn, nicked, gouged, cracked or corroded. Do not heat treat, weld, bend or reshape a shackle, and do not replace the pin with a screw or bolt, as this affects the WLL. A safety bolt type shackle must always be used with its split cotter pin. Lifting equipment must be used within its marked working load limit (WLL), inspected before each use, and selected and used in line with your site lifting procedure and the relevant Australian Standards.
