FAQs

What does a 9.5 Ton Safe Working Load (SWL) mean?

A Safe Working Load (SWL) of 9.5 Ton means the maximum load the shackle is designed to carry safely under normal operating conditions. This figure typically includes a safety margin.

What is the purpose of the galvanised finish?

The galvanised finish provides a protective layer that significantly enhances the shackle's resistance to rust and corrosion, extending its lifespan, especially in outdoor or humid environments.

How do I ensure the screw pin is secure?

The screw pin should be fully threaded into the shackle body and tightened firmly. For critical applications, it's recommended to use a locking pin or wire through the hole in the pin and shackle body to prevent accidental loosening.

What is the Safety Factor of 5:1?

A safety factor of 5:1 means the shackle's ultimate breaking strength is at least five times its Safe Working Load (SWL). This provides a substantial margin of safety.

Will I receive a test certificate with my order?

Yes, a test certificate will be supplied via email after your purchase to confirm the shackle meets its specifications and standards.

Can this shackle be used for lifting personnel?

No, this shackle is not designed or certified for lifting personnel. It is intended for lifting and rigging of general goods and materials only.

What are the main dimensions of the shackle?

The main dimensions are: A: 37.5MM, B: 45MM, C: 138.5MM, D: 70.5MM, E: 88MM.

Troubleshooting

Screw pin is difficult to thread

Ensure threads on both the pin and the shackle body are clean and free of debris or damage. Lubrication might help if threads are stiff.

Shackle does not seem secure

Verify that the screw pin is fully tightened. Check the pin and body for any signs of deformation that might prevent a secure closure.

Visible corrosion on the surface

Light surface rust can often be cleaned. For significant corrosion that affects the material thickness or shape, the shackle should be replaced.

Shackle creaks or makes noise under load

This can indicate metal fatigue or insufficient lubrication on the pin threads. Inspect for wear and consider applying a light lubricant to the pin threads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High load capacity suitable for demanding tasks.
  • Durable galvanized finish for corrosion resistance.
  • Meets British Standard BS 3032 for certified safety.
  • Secure screw pin ensures reliable closure.
  • Includes a test certificate for quality assurance.

Cons

  • Requires careful consideration of SWL to prevent overloading.
  • Dimensions might be larger than standard shackles, check compatibility.
  • Galvanised finish can be scratched, affecting appearance but not structural integrity.
  • Not suitable for dynamic or shock loading without further assessment.
  • Screw pin requires correct tightening to ensure security.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Inspect: Before use, visually inspect the shackle for any signs of damage, wear, or corrosion. Ensure the screw pin threads are clean and undamaged.
  2. Position: Align the screw pin with the shackle body and thread it in by hand.
  3. Tighten: Use appropriate tools (e.g., wrench, pliers) to fully tighten the screw pin. Ensure the pin is flush with the shackle body for maximum security.

Compatibility:

  • This shackle is designed to connect ropes, cables, or straps with a compatible load rating. Always ensure that any connecting equipment has a SWL equal to or greater than the shackle's SWL.
  • Check the dimensions (A: 37.5MM, B: 45MM, C: 138.5MM, D: 70.5MM, E: 88MM) against the connecting hardware and the space available.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the galvanised finish.
  • Storage: Store in a dry environment when not in use to prevent excessive corrosion.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the shackle for wear, especially on the pin threads and the shackle body where it contacts the pin. Replace if any significant damage or deformation is observed.
