Lifting Shackles: Buy or Hire from SafetyLiftinGear

mike Products

We consider ourselves the lifting equipment specialists here at SafetyLiftinGear, and in order to uphold that reputation, we strive to stock a truly comprehensive range of robust and reliable lifting products. Among our most commonly-ordered products are our various lifting shackles, which come in a range of different strengths and configurations.

Our shackles can be used in conjunction with a variety of lifting slings (e.g. our heavy-duty wire rope slings) to lift all kinds of different loads. We supply shackles to cope with weights ranging from 0.5 to 85 tonnes - please be sure to check the weight load limit (WLL) of your shackles before placing an order, as exceeding the maximum capacity of your lifting shackles may cause them to fail.

Three different types of lifting shackle are available from SafetyLiftinGear - here's a quick run-down of what we have to offer:

Screw Pin Shackles

Weight load limits range from 0.5 to 85 tonnes

The screw pin shackle is our standard lifting shackle, and we have a range range of different options available, all of which are cost-effective and totally fit for purpose. As the name suggests, these shackles are secured by simply screwing in the pin provided.

Safety Pin Shackles

Weight load limits range from 1 to 55 tonnes

Safety pin shackles have an extra-secure locking mechanism to give you a little extra peace of mind. To secure the shackle, thread the bolt through the holes, place the nut on the end and tighten. Then, insert the safety pin to provide an extra layer of defence.

Long Body Piling Shackles

Weight load limits range from 1 to 5 tonnes

Finally, we come to our long body shackles, which are ideal for if you need a longer space to house the end of your lifting sling.

Our ultra-strong 85 tonne alloy bow shackles were recently used in the construction of a new railway line in Manchester - read more about this project here, or visit our main Lifting Equipment page to browse our full range of lifting products.

SafetyLiftinGear Equipment Used to Construct New Railway Line in Manchester

mike Products

Network Rail - the company responsible for the infrastructure of Britain's railways - have recently been constructing a brand new rail line in Manchester. The new viaduct will connect two of the city's largest stations (Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria) for the first time, significantly increasing capacity and reducing journey times into and through the centre of Manchester.

We are pleased to say that Network Rail and their contractors chose to use SafetyLiftinGear's lifting equipment for this project. Our wire rope slings (77mm diameter, 8m & 9m length, 85 tonne SWL) have played an important part in the construction of the new line, as have our 85T Alloy Bow Shackles.

We wish Network Rail and everyone involved in this construction project all the best, and we hope that the people of Manchester will find the new line to be a great convenience.
