- Quenched and tempered alloy steel body resists deformation under heavy or dynamic loads
- Hot dip galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for marine and outdoor environments
- Working load limit stamped directly on the shackle body for traceability and field verification
- Proof load tested at two times the working load limit to validate structural integrity
- Pin painted for visual identification and to prevent corrosion in harsh conditions
Application Scenarios
Where Wide Body Shackle Crosby G-2160 Is Used
- Heavy lifting in offshore and marine operations where load distribution and corrosion resistance are critical
- Industrial rigging in steel plants and construction sites with high dynamic or sustained loads
- Towing and recovery operations involving large equipment where shackle deformation must be avoided
- Long-term static or cyclic loading in port and terminal infrastructure projects
- Rigging setups where multiple slings or cables are attached to a single shackle and even load sharing is required
Who It Is For
Buyers This Product Is Built For
- Marine and offshore contractors specifying durable rigging hardware for mooring and lifting
- Industrial rigging teams in steel and manufacturing plants requiring high-capacity, reliable shackles
- Cranes and lifting equipment suppliers integrating heavy-duty shackles into their rigging kits
- Logistics and transport companies handling oversized or heavy cargo with consistent load profiles

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 |
|---|---|
| Standard body shackle | The wide body design reduces stress concentration and improves load distribution, but it is bulkier and heavier |
| Screw pin shackle | The bolt pin with nut and cotter is more secure under vibration, but the wide body shackle has a larger contact area and better load spreading |
| D shackle | The wide body shackle offers better load distribution than a D shackle, but a D shackle is lighter and more compact for lighter applications |
| Eye bolt | The shackle provides a more secure and adjustable connection point than an eye bolt, but the eye bolt is simpler and cheaper for static, low-load tasks |
Use Guide
How To Use And Inspect Wide Body Shackle Crosby G-2160
- Always inspect the shackle before use for cracks, deformation, or signs of wear
- Verify the working load limit stamped on the body matches the calculated load
- Ensure the load is applied through the center of the shackle and avoid side loading
- Check that the pin is fully seated and secured with the nut and cotter pin
- Do not exceed the rated capacity even under static conditions
- Retire the shackle if the body shows permanent deformation, the pin is damaged, or the marking is illegible
