Bolt Type Shackle Application:

These shackles are used in different rigging, lifting, pulling, and hoisting applications. Bolt-type shackles are particularly useful in applications where the load may cause them to rotate.

• Construction:

Shackles like Dee, bow, and bolt-type chain shackles are used in the construction industry to lift and secure heavy materials, including steel beams, concrete blocks, and pipes.

• Shipping:

Bolt-type anchor shackles, Dee shackles, and Bow shackles are used in the shipping industry to secure cargo on ships, barges, and other vessels during transport.

• Offshore Oil and Gas:

Offshore oil and gas operations also rely on bolt-type chain shackles and bolt-type and bow shackles to secure equipment, such as drilling rigs and production platforms, to the seabed.

• Mining:

These shackles are also used in mining to lift heavy equipment and materials, such as drilling rigs, conveyor systems, and ore carts.

• Agriculture:

The agriculture industry uses bolt-type chain shackles to lift and secure heavy loads like agricultural equipment and hay bales.

• Utilities:

Finally, Dee and bow shackles are used in the utility industry to lift and secure power poles, transformers, and other heavy equipment

Bolt-Type Shackle Material:

Bolt-type chain shackles are made from different materials. You will need to choose the right one based on the intended use. Some common materials used to manufacture these shackles include:

• Carbon steel:

Perhaps the most common material used to make bolt-type anchor shackles. It is strong, durable, and relatively inexpensive. Though suitable for most applications, it can be prone to corrosion.

• Stainless Steel:

Stainless steel is the most corrosion-resistant material. You can use stainless steel shackles in harsh environments, such as marine or offshore operations.

• Alloy Steel:

Alloy steel is a high-strength, low-alloy material. As a result, it provides increased toughness and durability. You can see alloy steel bolt-type anchor shackles in shock loading, particularly in the construction and mining industries.

• Galvanized steel:

It is carbon steel coated with a layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion. You can use galvanized steel shackles in the presence of moisture or other corrosive substances.

• Working Load Limit: The working load limit of the shackle should match the weight of the load you want to lift or secure. Consider this before making your choice.
• Type of Material: Material affects strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Choose the material depending on your application and work conditions.
• Size and Type: These shackles come in different sizes and types - like Dee and Bow shackles. Choose the one that best suits your application.
• Pin Diameter: The pin diameter can vary depending on the size and load capacity of the shackle. As it affects the overall strength and load capacity, you should choose a pin diameter that best fits your needs.
• Bow Diameter: It is the distance between the two arms of the shackle. Bow diameter also varies depending on the shackle's size and load capacity. We offer bow shackles with different diameters.

• Pin Type: Pin type is the closure mechanism of a shackle. Most bolt-type chain shackles have a bolt and nut closure mechanism. But some may have a screw pin or a round pin. You can choose the one most suitable for your application.
• Bow Type: The shackles can come in different shapes depending on their intended use. The two most common types of bow shapes are the "U" and the "O" shape.
• Inside Width: It is the distance between the two legs or arms of the shackle body. The inside width determines the compatibility with the lifting or securing equipment.
• Safety Information: Before using a bolt-type anchor shackle, go through the safety information. It's always best to follow the manufacturer's guidelines.
