Product Information
Full details
The SecureFix Direct 150 Ton Bow Shackle (SFUSSAB150) is designed for industrial professionals and rigging experts who require a high-capacity, heavy-duty solution for demanding lifting operations. Its primary advantage lies in its superior load-bearing capacity and robust safety features, including a safety screw pin and 5:1 safety factor, though its massive scale and weight make it unsuitable for small-scale or residential lifting projects.

FAQs
What is the safety factor of this shackle?
This shackle has a safety factor of 5:1.
Can this shackle be used at an angle?
Yes, it is designed for in-line lifting and can handle side loads at angles up to 45 degrees.
Are test certificates provided?
Yes, test certificates are available upon request for each unit.
What standards does this product meet?
It conforms to BS EN 13889: 2003 + A1: 2008 and US Federal Specification RR-C-27IDIV.
What is the function of the blue pin?
The blue painted pin is a visual safety indicator to ensure the screw pin is installed correctly and has not vibrated loose.
Is the finish suitable for marine environments?
The hot-dipped galvanised finish provides excellent rust resistance, making it suitable for many outdoor and maritime applications.
Troubleshooting
Safety pin is difficult to screw in
Clean the threads of any grit or debris and verify that the pin is not bent. Ensure the pin is perfectly aligned with the shackle eye threads.
Blue paint on the pin is flaking
The paint is a visual aid for identification and safety. While cosmetic, flaking paint does not affect the load capacity, but you may touch it up with appropriate industrial-grade paint if desired.
Visible surface rust on the shackle
Surface rust can be removed with a wire brush. If deep pitting or heavy oxidation is present, the shackle must be retired from service.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely high load capacity for heavy-duty industrial tasks
- Hot-dipped galvanised finish ensures long-term rust resistance

Cons
- Not intended for light-duty or residential applications
- Substantial physical weight requires careful handling
- Requires professional-grade rigging equipment for integration
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before each use, perform a thorough visual inspection for signs of deformation, thread damage, or excessive corrosion. To install, ensure the bow is correctly aligned with the load point and fully tighten the screw pin until the collar is seated flush against the body. Compatibility is governed by your existing rigging hardware; always verify that the hook or eye you are attaching to has sufficient clearance for the 101mm (Dimension A) pin. For care, store the shackle in a dry, covered environment when not in use. While the hot-dipped galvanised finish is highly resistant to the elements, washing with fresh water after exposure to saltwater environments can extend its service life. Do not modify or weld the shackle as this will compromise its rated capacity and safety certifications.
