Shackle precautions

Alloy pin shackles

Crafted from alloy steel pins and high-carbon, hot-dip galvanized bodies, Katradis HP Shackles offer proven superior durability and corrosion resistance. With a 6:1 safety factor (MBL to WLL ratio), these shackles offer an increased safety level for a long service time for any applications used as long as operation, storage, inspection & maintenance are properly conducted. Each shackle is proof load tested at 2:1 of its WLL and permanently marked for easy selection.

Key Features:

Durability: Built for harsh marine environments.
Versatility: Ideal for mooring, lifting, and securing chains or rope slings.
Safety Compliance: Test certificates included for every shackle.

For optimal performance (100% WLL), forces should always remain perpendicular to the pin to ensure full utilization of the WLL. For vertical and angled loading please choose anchor shackle (Bow type), chain shackle (“D” type) is for vertical loading only (0⁰ angle to the vertical).

Sideways loading (forces perpendicular to the shackle’s body sides {parallel to the pin}) is not recommended.

Temperature will affect shackle’s WLL.

Commercial shackles

These shackles have equal sized pin and body. They are manufactured from mild steel which is left untreated, in grade 30, with galvanized finish. Not suitable for lifting operations. Fairly resilient and long-lasting in typical environments. With typical screw pin for securing. This makes them both easy to use and quick to fasten or unfasten. For applications where the shackle regularly needs to be removed or repositioned for whatever reason, this could be an advantage. Available in “D” & Bow types.

* In-Line load is applied perpendicular to pin.

Angle loads must be applied in the plane of the bow.
Never Exceed 120° included angle.
Use Bolt Type and Screw Pin Shackles ONLY.
Shackles symmetrically loaded with two leg slings having a maximum included angle of 120° can be utilized to full Working Load Limit.
