Wide Body Sling Shackles
Wide body sling shackles are designed with an increased bow radius. The primary benefit of this larger load-bearing area is an improved D/d ratio. It lets the sling spread out - preventing bunching - and protects the working load limit of the sling.
It can also eliminate the need for a thimble and even lengthen a sling's lifespan.
Sling Shackle Styles
We offer several different wide body shackle options from trusted manufacturers Crosby and Van Beest. All are made from alloy steel and quenched and tempered for superior strength.
Crosby Shackles for Slings
Crosby® carries both a screw pin and bolt type wide body shackle. The screw pin is better for short-term applications where you need to install and uninstall in the field, while the bolt type is better for more permanent uses.
- Crosby G-2169 Screw Pin: The screw pin sling shackles meet or exceed all requirements of ASME B30.26, as well as additional critical performance requirements.
- Crosby G-2160 Bolt Type: Bolt type sling shackles provide a minimum sling-bearing surface increase of 58% and increase usable sling strength by a minimum of 15%. They can be used with synthetic slings and wire rope slings at temperatures between -40°F / -40°C and 400°F / 204°C. These shackles are produced in accordance with DNV MSA requirements.
- Crosby G-2160E Easy-Loc: The Easy-Loc bolt type anchor shackles are very similar to the G-2160 shackles, but they have an Easy-Loc bolt securement system. This can cut down on install and release time by up to 90% and requires no tools!
Van Beest Bolt Type Wide Body Shackles
Our Green Pin sling shackles are constructed using grade 8 alloy steel for corrosion-resistance. They are marked with the steel grade and a traceability code.
They can be used in temperatures from -4°F / -20°C to 392°F / 200°C.
