SHACKLES

Product catalog summary

General Instructions for Safe Use of Shackles
Shackles are versatile tools used in lifting, tying, suspending, and towing. They are sized by the bow structure, not the pin, and come in two designs: anchor and chain. Anchor shackles can handle in-line and side loads (with reduced limits), while chain shackles are for in-line loads only. Selection should consider load conditions and regulations.

Quality Standards
Mordec Shackles are made from high tensile carbon and alloy steel, meeting US Federal Specification RR-C-271D. Key features include a design factor of 6:1, proof load at twice the working load limit, and individual markings for traceability. They are fatigue tested and hot-dip galvanized for durability.

Side Loading Considerations
Side loading reduces the working load limit (WLL). At 0°, the WLL is 100%, at 45° it is 70%, and at 90° it is 50%. Avoid side loading chain shackles and ensure the total angle does not exceed 120° for two-leg slings.

Inspection and Maintenance
Shackles should be kept dry and clean. Regular inspections by a competent person are necessary. Replace shackles showing signs of wear, elongation, or corrosion. Ensure all markings are legible and pins fit properly. Do not modify or use unknown parts.

Operational Guidelines
Ensure screw pins are fully tightened and bolt and nut shackles have the nut and cotter pin fitted. Avoid shock loading and ensure loads are centralized. Do not pull at an angle or modify shackles.

Product Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for various shackle models, including dimensions, weight, and working load limits. All products meet US Federal Specification RR-C-271D and are designed for easy application, with features like traceability codes and enhanced safety for long-term use.

General Instructions For Safe Use Of Shackles The following information is of a general nature covering universal safety guidelines on the use and maintenance of shackles. Operating guidelines may vary with specified use conditions, industry or government regulations. Shackles can be used in a wide variety of applications including lifting, tying, suspending and towing. Careful selection of shackles should be made based on the load conditions when planning lifting activities. Shackles are sized according to the dimension of the bow structure and not the pin. When selecting shackles, two types...

General Instructions For Safe Use Of Shackle Shackles should be kept in dry, clean conditions and free from corrosion inducing elements Thorough inspection should be done regularly by a Competent Person. Replace shackles that show any sign of elongation, distortion, corrosion, fractures or wear of more than 10% of the original dimension of the shackle. A bent shackle indicates excessive side-loading and elongation shows overloading was performed. All markings on the shackle bow should be clearly legible. All pins should be straight and fit completely when seated in eye holes Shackle must not...
