Basics of Green Pin Bow Shackles

This is a standard green pin shackle with a typical screw collar pin. Ideal for temporary joining/anchoring tasks; they are quick and easy to use and though are initially tightened by hand, thee screw pin should be further tightened with a wrench or other suitable tool to ensure it is tightened to its maximum. This will help to prevent the pin from coming loose whilst in use, which should only occur if there is a lot of vibrations or through the lifting equipment or friction directly on the screw pin. 

If you are in need of equipment to combine with any of the shackle models we sell, there are plenty of high quality products on our site. This includes manual chain blocks from GT and gantry hoists from IMER. With competitive prices and so much choice, LGD is the top place to shop for all types of gear. 

Durable Production Features

Because these green pin bow shackles are made from high tensile steel to grade 6 and have been quenched and tempered, along with the hot dipped galvanised finish they can be used in a vast range of temperatures – from at least minus 20 degrees right up to plus 200 degrees Celsius. 

Taking into account the quality of the material used in the lifting equipment you buy is obviously relevant both from a safety standpoint and when it comes to cost-effectiveness. You want to make sure that the shackles you select are up to the task of taking the intended load in whatever environment they encounter. This is certainly the case with the green pin bow shackles we stock.
