Shackles
G2160 Shackle Crosby Wide Body Shackles
A forged alloy steel wide body shackle with a quenched and tempered body, designed for heavy-duty lifting and rigging. The wide body increases load contact area, improving force distribution and reducing stress concentrations. It is proof load tested, hot dip galvanized with painted pins, and marked with the working load limit. Available from 7 Ton to 300 Ton capacity.

Key Benefits
What G2160 Shackle Crosby Wide Body Shackles Gives You
- Wide body design spreads load over a larger surface area, reducing stress on attachment points and extending sling and chain life
- Quenched and tempered alloy steel body resists deformation under heavy and dynamic loads
- Hot dip galvanized finish resists corrosion in marine, outdoor and industrial environments
- Painted pins prevent rust and maintain smooth operation in humid or wet conditions
- Proof load tested at two times the working load limit ensures reliability under rated duty
- Working load limit stamped directly on the body for traceability and field verification
- Wide body shape reduces bending stress on slings and chains, especially in tight or angled rigging setups
Application Scenarios
Where G2160 Shackle Crosby Wide Body Shackles Is Used
- Heavy lifting in offshore and marine operations where corrosion resistance and load distribution are critical
- Steel mill and foundry applications involving hot or abrasive materials where rigging components face thermal and mechanical stress
- Construction and infrastructure projects using large cranes and heavy lifts with high safety margins
- Mining and quarrying where equipment is exposed to dust, moisture and repeated dynamic loading
- Towing and recovery operations with heavy trailers and transport vehicles requiring durable, high-capacity fittings
- Anchor and mooring systems where long-term exposure to saltwater demands corrosion-resistant hardware

How It Compares With The Alternatives
An honest read on where this pattern wins and where another one would serve you better.
| Alternative | Honest Trade Off |
|---|---|
| Narrow body shackle | The wide body reduces stress concentration and extends sling life but adds bulk and weight |
| Screw pin shackle | The bolt pin with nut and cotter is more secure under vibration but requires more tools to install |
| Screw pin shackle with safety pin | The bolt pin design allows for easier field inspection and re-torquing without a separate safety pin |
| Stainless steel shackle | The galvanized carbon steel version offers higher strength and lower cost, but stainless is better for extreme corrosion environments |
Use Guide
How To Use And Inspect G2160 Shackle Crosby Wide Body Shackles
- Always inspect the shackle before each use for cracks, deformation, or wear on the body and pin
- Verify the working load limit stamped on the body matches the calculated load
- Ensure the load is applied in line with the shackle’s bow and avoid side loading
- Check that the pin is fully seated and the cotter pin is correctly installed
- Do not exceed the rated capacity even under static or short-term loads
- Retire the shackle if the body shows permanent deformation, the pin is damaged, or the marking is unreadable
