Engineered for professionals across New Zealand, Europe, and North America, the G2130 Type US Rigging Bow Shackle (Anchor Shackle) sets the benchmark for safety, durability, and performance in critical lifting, rigging, and marine mooring operations. This forged shackle, featuring a robust safety bolt and nut design, is the essential link for securing chain slings, wire rope slings, and synthetic slings with absolute confidence.
Why Our G2130 Shackle is Your Superior Choice:
Unlike standard shackles, our product is engineered with a holistic focus on long-term reliability and total cost of ownership, specifically for the stringent demands of international markets.
Key Features & Differentiated Advantages:
Uncompromising Safety & Security: The safety bolt and nut system is precision-machined for a perfect fit. It features a unique dual-pinning system (including a drilled hole for a secondary securing pin or wire) that prevents accidental loosening under dynamic load or vibration—a critical advantage for offshore, construction, and forestry work in New Zealand and the EU.
Advanced Corrosion Protection Tailored to Your Environment: Choose from three finishes to match your specific operational hazards.
Electric Galvanized: Provides a smooth, consistent coating for general indoor or protected outdoor use.
Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG): Our recommended finish for harsh environments. Offers a thicker, metallurgically-bonded zinc layer for superior resistance to saltwater corrosion (ideal for New Zealand's coastal and maritime industries) and industrial atmospheres, significantly outperforming painted alternatives.
Painted: A cost-effective option for visual identification and mild corrosion protection where galvanizing is not specified.
Precision Forged for Strength & Longevity: Forged from high-grade alloy steel under strict controls, the G2130 shackle achieves an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The optimized bow design reduces stress concentration points, enhancing fatigue life compared to generic designs. This means fewer replacements and greater reliability over time.
Superior Usability & Inspection: We prioritize user experience. The shackle features clearly marked, deeply stamped Working Load Limit (WLL) and grade information that remains legible even after years of service and repeated galvanizing. The wide bow mouth facilitates easy connection to slings, hooks, and anchor points.
