FAQs

What does a 5 Ton SWL mean?

SWL stands for Safe Working Load. A 5 Ton SWL means the shackle is designed to safely handle a maximum load of 5 metric tons under normal conditions.

What is the safety factor of this shackle?

This shackle has a safety factor of 5:1, meaning it is designed to withstand a load five times greater than its Safe Working Load before catastrophic failure.

How do I ensure the screw pin is securely fastened?

The screw pin should be threaded in as far as it will go, ensuring it is snug against the opposite side of the shackle's eye. For critical applications, consider using additional locking mechanisms if available or appropriate.

Can this shackle be used in saltwater environments?

Yes, the galvanised finish provides good resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for marine applications. However, regular inspection and cleaning are recommended for longevity in saltwater.

What are the specific dimensions of the shackle?

The dimensions are: A: 28MM, B: 32MM, C: 108MM, D: 55MM, E: 65MM.

Is a test certificate provided?

Yes, a test certificate is supplied via email upon purchase of the product.

What material is the shackle made from?

The shackle is manufactured from high-tensile steel with a galvanised finish.

Troubleshooting

Screw pin is difficult to tighten or loosen.

Clean the pin and thread area of any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the threads and attempt to tighten/loosen again. Ensure the pin is correctly aligned with the thread.

Shackle appears to be binding or not closing fully.

Check if the connected components are preventing full closure. Ensure the shackle is the correct size for the job and that the load is being applied evenly.

Visible signs of rust or corrosion on the galvanised finish.

Light surface rust can often be cleaned off with a wire brush. For deeper corrosion, inspect the shackle's integrity carefully. If the structural integrity is compromised, the shackle should be removed from service.

Pros and Cons

  • Not suitable for dynamic or shock loading applications without further assessment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Inspect the shackle and screw pin for any damage or defects.
  2. Ensure the shackle is the correct size and rated for the load you intend to lift.
  3. Insert the screw pin through the eyelets of the components being connected.
  4. Tighten the screw pin securely. For maximum safety, ensure the pin is fully seated and any locking mechanism (if applicable) is engaged.

Compatibility:

  • This shackle is designed to connect ropes, chains, or straps with a maximum diameter that fits within the shackle's pin and bow dimensions.
  • Ensure that any connected equipment also meets appropriate safety standards and load ratings.
  • The dimensions (A: 28MM, B: 32MM, C: 108MM, D: 55MM, E: 65MM) should be cross-referenced with the components it will be attached to.

Care:

  • Keep the shackle clean and free from dirt and debris.
  • Regularly inspect for signs of wear, such as nicks, cracks, distortion, or excessive corrosion.
  • Lubricate the screw pin threads periodically to ensure smooth operation and prevent seizing.
  • Store in a dry environment when not in use to maintain the galvanised finish.
  • A test certificate is supplied via email upon purchase.
