Shackles at Globus Lifting Technology
Shackles are connecting elements consisting of a curved or straight body with a lockable shackle pin. This allows them to be connected to lifting accessories such as ropes, lifting chains or round slings. There are different shapes and sizes – which vary depending on the application. The shackles at Globus Lifting Technology are characterized by their particularly high load capacity, robustness and versatile applications. Different types such as bow shackles, long shackles, or D-shackles make them suitable for a wide range of uses.

Choosing the Right Shackle
The choice of the right shackle depends on several important criteria. Only the correct shackle ensures a safe connection when lifting and securing loads.
To find the right shackle for your requirements, you should consider the following factors:
Load Capacity
- Indicates how much weight the shackle can safely carry (usually in tons).
- The working load limit should always be above the actual load.
- Insufficient load capacity can lead to material failure and accidents.
Corrosion Resistance
- Especially important in humid, salty, or chemical environments.
- Stainless steel or galvanized steel provide high resistance against rust.
- A corrosion-resistant design significantly increases service life and safety.
Pin Type and Shackle Shape
- Depending on the application, screw pins, eye bolts, clevis pins, or bolts with nut and cotter pin are used.
- For frequent opening, a screw pin is recommended; for permanent use, a secured nut is ideal.
- Straight shackles (D-shackles) are optimal for straight pulls and simple loads.
- Bow shackles offer more freedom of movement and are suitable for swiveling load strands or systems with multiple attachments.
Applications of Shackles
Shackles are used in many areas – from heavy industrial applications to safety-critical use in outdoor or rescue operations. Thanks to their high load capacity, easy handling, modularity, and versatile shapes, they are ideal connecting elements for numerous fields of application:
