Product Category:

Grade S(6) bow shackle.

Production Range:

Available in a range from 0.5t to 150t.

Load Specifications:

Maximum testing load is twice the working load.

Minimum breaking load is 6 times the WLL (Working Load Limit) for WLL less than or equal to 85t.

Minimum breaking load is 4 times the WLL for WLL more than 85t.

Compliance:

Conforms to ISO2415-2004 standards.

Quality Assurance:

Non-destructive flaw detection is employed for every product to ensure no intensity defects.

Bow Shackle Features:

Made of high-quality alloy steel with advanced production and heat treatment.

Characterized by high intensity, good toughness, small volume, light weight, beautiful appearance, and good durability.

Bow Shackle Usage:

No need to use a thimble when connected with high-strength lifting belts, wire rope slings, and large radius domed roofs.

Improves the wear-resisting property of wire rope slings.

Questions and Answers:

What is the alloy of the bow shackle made of?

The bow shackles are made of high-quality alloy steel through advanced production and heat treatment.

Which is better, D-type shackle, or bow shackle?

The choice depends on the specific use. Bow shackles are suitable for accommodating multiple connections, larger items, and distributing loads, while D-type shackles might be better for limited space and direct connections.

What is the difference between bow shackle and anchor shackle?

The terms "anchor shackle" and "bow shackle" are interchangeable, both referring to shackles with a larger circular "O" shape. The larger bow allows for side loading and multiple leg connections.

Why is it called a bow shackle?

It is named for its unique "O" shaped bow, which is a large loop that can accommodate ropes and slings, allowing for multiple leg connections without significant risk of side loads.

What are the advantages of bow shackles?

One of the main advantages is their ability to handle multiple loads from different directions without significant lateral load, thanks to the circular shape supporting the effective load around its circumference.

What is an S-grade bow shackle?

S-grade bow shackles, often used in lifting applications, provide connections for chains, wire ropes, and other rated accessories in industries such as shipping, agriculture, mining, and construction.

What is the purpose of a bow shackle?

Bow shackles are "O" shaped metal connectors closed by a bolt. Similar to anchor shackles, their circular design allows them to bear loads from multiple directions without generating lateral loads. They are commonly used in lifting applications.
