The Bow Shackle consists of a U-shaped metal ring (the bow portion) and a removable pin. This design allows the Bow Shackle to be quickly connected and disconnected while providing a high strength connection point. Bow Type Shackles are typically used in applications where high tensile forces are required, such as lifting, hoisting and towing operations.

Stainless Steel (304/316): Offers superior corrosion resistance and is suitable for moist or corrosive environments. The 316 grade has additional molybdenum, providing even better corrosion resistance, especially in marine applications.

Carbon Steel: Provides good strength and is the most common material for bolts. It may require additional surface treatments like galvanizing for increased corrosion resistance.

Alloy Steel: Offers enhanced strength and durability. It is often used in high-stress applications where high tensile strength is required.

Advantage:

HIGH STRENGTH: Bow Type Shackles are typically made of high strength steel and are capable of withstanding large Working Load Limits (WLL) to ensure safe use under heavy loads. Quick Connect: The design of the Bow Type Shackle allows for quick and easy connection and disconnection, increasing work efficiency. Wide applicability: Suitable for a wide range of lifting environments and different load requirements, including multi-leg slings and bridles configurations. Better Load Distribution: The curved shape of the Bow Shackle helps to distribute the load more evenly across the shackle, reducing stress concentrations. Suitable for multi-angle loads: Especially suitable for applications involving multi-angle lifting, e.g. in lifting operations where loads may be pulled in different directions.

Scope of Application

Lifting and hoisting: In construction sites, harbors and factories, bow shackles are used to attach slings, hooks or other lifting hardware to safely lift and move heavy loads. Rescue Operations: In emergency rescue, bow tie-downs allow for quick and safe deployment of rescue equipment. Marine and Shipping: Used in ship and harbor operations to secure cargo and equipment, as well as for towing and mooring operations. Industrial applications: in a variety of industrial equipment, for connecting and securing mechanical parts or materials.
