Bolt Type Wide Body Shackle

Bolt Type Wide Body Shackle

Wide bow lifting shackle designed for synthetic web slings, round slings, wire rope slings, and dedicated lifting-point connections. The widened bow geometry provides enhanced internal clearance around sling eyes and heavy-duty connecting hardware. The bolt, nut, and cotter pin assembly ensures permanent pin retention after installation, making it ideal for multi-use or long-term lifting arrangements.

Key Product Benefits

 

Optimized Bow Geometry: Maximizes internal clearance and protects synthetic rigging equipment.


Triple-Lock Security: Bolt, nut, and cotter pin configuration ensures long-term safety in permanent or semi-permanent lifts.


Forged Load-Bearing Strength: High strength-to-weight ratio with drop-forged alloy steel construction.


Full Compliance & Traceability: Individual batch codes and mill certificates guarantee compliance with international engineering standards.

 

Typical Rigging Applications

 

Synthetic Web Slings: Provides flat bearing surface to avoid edge loading on broad webbing.


Round Slings: Prevents compression damage on heavy synthetic fiber bundles.


Wire Rope Slings: Fits large thimble eyes and heavy cable connections smoothly.


Engineering Padeyes & Lugs: Connects directly to crane hooks, spreader beams, and vessel lifting lugs.


Heavy Industrial Infrastructure: Used in modular construction, offshore wind installation, mining, and power plant maintenance.

 

Safety Bolt Pin Mechanism

 

The three-part locking design (Bolt + Nut + Cotter Pin) prevents accidental pin backing-out caused by vibration, dynamic cycling, or load rotation:


Load Bolt: High-tensile alloy bolt engineered for shear and bending resistance.


Heavy Hex Nut: Threaded securely over the bolt tail to clamp the assembly.


Cotter Pin (Split Pin): Locks the nut in position, eliminating the risk of unthreading during long-term overhead use.

 

Surface Finish Options

 

Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG): Heavy zinc coating per ASTM A153 for long-term corrosion resistance in harsh outdoor environments.


Painted / Powder Coated: Safety yellow, orange, or custom color coding for visual capacity identification.

 

Quality Assurance

 

Every production batch undergoes strict quality control to satisfy international safety standards:


Raw Material Verification: Chemical composition analysis and mechanical spectro-test (Mill Test Report traceability).


Dimensional Inspection: 100% check on pin diameter, inside width, thread engagement, and alignment.


Non-Destructive Testing: Magnetic Particle Testing (MPI) on critical forging radii when specified.


Proof Load Testing: Tested to 2.0 times the Working Load Limit (2.0×WLL) per manufacturing specification.


Destructive Testing: Lot-based ultimate strength testing (5:1 or 6:1 design factor validation) and Charpy V-notch impact testing.

 

Step-by-Step Model Selection Process

 

Step 1 - Calculate Required WLL: Determine total lifted mass, including dynamic factors and sling angles.


Step 2 - Verify Lug Hole / Pin Diameter: Ensure pin size fits the pad eye or lug hole with proper clearance.


Step 3 - Check Bow Inside Width: Confirm the width accommodates sling thickness without side distortion.


Step 4 - Verify Inside Length: Ensure sufficient headroom for shackles, hooks, and connecting hardware.


Step 5 - Evaluate Sling Type: Match shackle geometry with synthetic slings, wire rope eyes, or steel fittings.


Step 6 - Check Angle & Side Loading: Confirm loads act inline; apply ASME B30.26 derating for angled loading.


Step 7 - Select Finish & Coating: Choose Hot-Dip Galvanized for outdoor exposure or painted for identification.


Step 8 - Define Certification Requirements: Specify required quality certificates (EN 10204 3.1, Proof Test, Third-Party) before production.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: What is the main advantage of a wide body shackle over a standard bow shackle?

A: The wide bow prevents synthetic web slings and round slings from bunching or pinching, preserving sling load capacity and reducing wear on synthetic fibers and wire rope eyes.

Q: Why use a bolt-type pin assembly instead of a screw pin?

A: Screw pins can back out due to vibration or rotation during dynamic lifting. The bolt, nut, and cotter pin mechanism physically locks the pin in place, making it safe for semi-permanent or long-term rigging assemblies.

Q: What safety factor is applied to these shackles?

A: Our wide body shackles are designed with a 5:1 or 6:1 design factor, meaning the Minimum Breaking Load is 5 to 6 times the Working Load Limit.

Q: Can custom sizes or higher WLL ratings be manufactured?

A: Yes. We offer custom engineering services for non-standard dimensions, larger pin diameters, and higher capacities beyond 55 t based on approved technical drawings.
