Compared to our standard bow shackles, Wide Body Shackles have an increased bow radius to improve the sling resistance to wear and tear and enable you to use a lighter wire rope to lift the same heavy load. Galvanization of the Wide Body Shackle ensures long-term durability.
Wide Body Shackle is a bow shackle with improved bow radius that greatly improves life of wire rope slings. The shackle is high load capacity bow shackle with safety bolt, nut and cotter pin. They are excellent choice for heavy lifting projects due to the shape of the shackle crown.
They are available in a range with a working load limit from 7 up to 1550 tons. Can be used to connect wire rope sling, high strength synthetic webbing sling or round slings.
