They are a popular option amongst our full dee shackle line up, which also includes high end green pin units that are similarly sought after. 

Yellow Pin D Shackle Compliance Info

Rather than the typical EU standards these yellow pin alloy d shackles are to US Fed Spec RR-C-271 and an EC declaration of conformity will also be issued. 

Dee shackles like this are suited to inline lifting tasks, where the direction from which the load applies force is uniform. If the load needs to be managed from multiple angles, a bow shackle will be a better option. 

Impressive Dee Shackle Variety

There are no less than 16 models in this range; the safe working load limits range from 0.5 tonne to 55 tonne and various increments between. Pin, bow and eye diameters all vary between the differing WLL’s. As do the inside dimensions; the inside length from the bow to the pin range from 22mm up to 203mm and the inside width between the two sides range from 12mm up to 105mm.

Which Shackle should you pick?

Everyday lifting tasks are ideal for using these yellow pin alloy d shackles, available for purchase at low prices from Lifting Gear Direct. 

Yellow pin bow shackles are also available at great prices. Furthermore we stock special shackles that are not designed for generic use, but instead fit into specific roles within a number of industries. This includes a green pin trawling dee shackle along with sling saver shackles and piling shackles. 

If load bearing is not important but you want a shackle for simple fastening and anchoring tasks, our commercial dee shackles might catch your eye. These are even more inexpensive than their yellow pin counterparts, but come with the downside of not being rated with any kind of WLL, which should not be overlooked.
