G/S-210

 

Screw Pin Shackles can be used in any application where a round pin shackle is used.  In addition, screw pin shackles can be used for applications involving side-loading circumstances.  Reduced working load limits are required for side-loading applications.  While in service, do not allow the screw pin to be rotated by a live line, such as a choker application.

Bolt-Type Shackles can be used in any applications where round pin or screw pin shackles are used. In addition, they are recommended for permanent or long term installations and where the load may slide on the shackle pin causing the pin to rotate.

QUIC-CHECKª INFORMATION

All Crosby Shackles, except for G-2160Õs incorporate markings forged into the product which address an easy QUIC-CHECKª feature.  Angle indicators are forged into the shackle bow at 45¡ angles from vertical. These are utilized to quickly check the approximate angle of a two-legged hitch or quickly check the angle of a single leg hitch when the shackle pin is secured and the pull of the load is off vertical or side loaded, thus requiring a reduction in the working load limit of the shackle.

 

 

 
 

 

 
Side Loading Reduction Chart
 For Screw Pin and Bolt Type Shackles Only  
 Angle of Side Load
 from Vertical In-Line of shackle
 Adjusted Working Load Limit
 0¡ In-Line *  100% of Rated Working Load Limit
 45¡ from In-Line *  70% of Rated Working Load Limit
 90¡ from In-Line *  50% of Rated Working Load Limit

*  In-Line load is applied perpendicular to pin.
  DO NOT SIDE LOAD ROUND PIN SHACKLES


ON RIGHT: 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.
