ESCO Shackles
A shackle is a hanging fitting that is attached to the tip of a wire rope and used. There are two main shapes: a straight U-shaped type and a round type with a wide U-shaped bottom. Among the straight type, the long shackle with a long and narrow shape is suitable for lifting sheet piles, etc., because it is easy to hook. The round type features a round shape that makes it difficult for the ropes to overlap with each other even if two wire ropes are used. There is also a long-eye type shackle that can be used in combination. The structure that prevents unnecessary rotation of the suspended load allows smooth unloading. The main materials of shackle are steel and special steel alloy, etc., and both have excellent durability and corrosion resistance. Before selecting a product, it is necessary to confirm in advance the proper load, application, mounting method, etc.
