SecureFix Direct Dee Shackles With Screw Pin - 0.33 Ton

The Safe Working Load (SWL) for these SecureFix Direct Dee Shackles is 0.33 Tonnes.

'Drop Forged' refers to a manufacturing process where metal is heated and hammered into shape under high pressure. This creates a stronger, more durable grain structure compared to casting, making the shackle more resilient to stress and impact.

These shackles conform to standards suitable for general lifting applications. Always ensure they are used within their 0.33 Tonne SWL and that the load is applied correctly in-line. For critical overhead lifting, consult specific safety regulations and product ratings.

A test certificate can be supplied via email upon request. Please contact customer service to arrange this.

A Dee shackle (like this product) has a narrower body and is designed to take high loads primarily when used in-line. A Bow shackle has a wider, rounded loop that can better accommodate off-center loads or multiple attachment points.

The pin is painted, but the color may vary from the image shown. The primary function and safety rating of the shackle are unaffected by the pin's color.

Thread the pin into the shackle body until it is fully seated, and then tighten it firmly. For critical applications, consider using a thread-locking compound or checking that the pin cannot loosen through vibration, although standard practice is to ensure it's hand-tightened securely.

Check for debris or damage in the pin threads or shackle body threads. Clean threads thoroughly. If damage is present, the shackle should not be used.

Minor surface rust can be wiped clean. Significant pitting or flaking indicates corrosion has compromised the material's integrity; discontinue use.

Inspect the pin and body for wear. Ensure the pin is fully tightened. If the noise persists, cease use and inspect further.
