RIGGING

Shackles

Chain Shackles are best used for straight-line pulls, while anchor shackles have a more generous loop that allows them to be side loaded or used for multiple connections.

Shackles are available in a variety of styles and materials
for virtually any rigging application. Choose from Carbon,
Alloy or Super Strong shackles in Screw Pin, Bolt, Nut &
Cotter, or Round Pin Styles.

Hooks and Attachments

Overhead Lifting Hooks
Not all hooks are appropriate for overhead lifting. When choosing an overhead lifting hook, it’s important to consider the application you will be using it for. If you are lifting a plate, you may need one type of hook, while lifting a vehicle engine may require another. Only grade 80 and Grade 100 alloy hooks should be used in overhead lifting applications.

Non-Overhead Lifting Hooks
Non-overhead lifting hooks are designed for pulling or load securement application. These hooks do not have the same requirements as those used for overhead lifting. Non-overhead lifting hooks are available in Grades 30, 43, and 70. Grade 80 hooks that are not suitable for overhead lifting are marked T-80 and should only be used for load securement.
