High-Quality Chain Shackles for Lifting Operations

Features of Chain Shackles

HES Cranes' chain shackles are designed to provide optimal performance and safety in lifting applications. Some of the key features of our shackles include:

• High-strength materials: Our D shackles and bow shackles are forged from premium-grade alloy steel, which offers exceptional strength and resistance to wear and tear. This ensures that our lifting shackles can withstand heavy loads and harsh working conditions, providing long-lasting performance.
• Precise manufacturing: We employ advanced manufacturing techniques, including drop forging and heat treatment, to ensure that our chain shackles meet the highest standards of quality and consistency. Each shackle undergoes rigorous testing and inspection to verify its load capacity, dimensions, and overall integrity.
• Corrosion resistance: Many of our shackles are available with galvanized or stainless steel finishes, which provide excellent resistance to corrosion and rust. This makes our lifting shackles suitable for use in marine environments and other corrosive conditions, extending their service life and maintaining their appearance.
• Wide range of sizes and capacities: HES Cranes offers chain shackles in a wide range of sizes and capacities to accommodate various lifting requirements. Our D shackles and bow shackles are available in working load limits (WLL) ranging from 0.33 tonnes to 150 tonnes, ensuring that you can find the perfect shackle for your specific application.
• Compliance with industry standards: All our lifting shackles are designed and manufactured in accordance with relevant Australian and international standards, such as AS 2741 and EN 13889. This ensures that our shackles meet or exceed the required safety and performance criteria, giving you peace of mind when using them in your lifting operations.

Lifting Shackles

HES Cranes offers two main types of lifting shackles: D shackles and bow shackles. Each type has its own unique features and benefits, making them suitable for different lifting applications.

• D Shackles: Our D shackles are the most common type of shackle used in lifting operations. They feature a D-shaped body with a removable pin or bolt, allowing for easy attachment and removal of loads. D shackles are ideal for applications where the load is applied in a straight line, such as in slings or chains. They offer excellent strength and reliability, making them a popular choice for a wide range of industries.
• Bow Shackles: Also known as anchor shackles or omega shackles, our bow shackles feature a rounded body with a larger opening than D shackles. This design allows for easier attachment of multiple slings or ropes, making them ideal for applications where the load needs to be distributed more evenly. Bow shackles are commonly used in marine and offshore applications, as well as in lifting operations where a wider load distribution is required.

In addition to our standard chain shackles, HES Cranes also offers customised solutions to meet the specific requirements of our customers. Our experienced team can work with you to design and manufacture shackles that are tailored to your unique lifting needs, ensuring optimal performance and safety.
