This guide is for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing a robust shackle for lifting, towing, and rigging applications. The SecureFix Direct SFUSSAB120 Safety Pin Bow Shackle offers superior strength and security with its hot-dipped galvanized finish and a distinctive blue painted safety pin to prevent accidental slippage. A potential caveat is the need to request a test certificate separately via email. Key features include its heavy-duty construction conforming to BS EN 13889:2003 + A1:2008 standards, a high Working Load Limit (SWL) of 120 tons, and a bow shape ideal for wider lifting points and off-angle loads.

SWL stands for Safe Working Load, and 120 refers to 120 tons. This is the maximum load the shackle is designed to carry safely under normal operating conditions.
Test certificates are not automatically included. You need to request it by emailing the seller or manufacturer, and it will be sent to you via email.
Yes, as it conforms to BS EN 13889:2003 + A1:2008 and has a safety factor of 5:1, it is suitable for overhead lifting applications when used correctly and within its SWL.
The bow shape allows for a wider lifting point and can accommodate multiple slings or straps more easily. It also permits lifting at an angle (up to 45 degrees), whereas Dee shackles are generally intended for in-line lifting only.
The blue paint signifies the safety pin feature. The pin is designed to screw in and stay secured, preventing accidental loosening, which the blue color helps to identify as the safety pin.
The main dimensions are: A=102mm, B=95mm, C=126.5mm, D=207mm, E=375mm, F=227.5mm, G=113.75mm.
The hot-dipped galvanised finish provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion, significantly extending the shackle's lifespan, especially when used in outdoor or potentially damp environments.
Clean the pin and the corresponding holes in the shackle eyes. Apply a light lubricant if necessary, ensuring it's suitable for outdoor use. Check for any debris or deformation.
Wipe down the affected area with a soft cloth. Minor surface rust can often be removed. Ensure the shackle is stored in a dry environment and re-apply a suitable protective coating if recommended for galvanized steel if corrosion is significant.
This may indicate movement between the pin and the shackle eyes. Ensure the pin is fully seated and secured. Check for excessive wear on the pin or shackle eyes, which might require replacement.
