SHACKLES GREEN PIN – SUNKEN HOLE PIN – BOW

SHACKLES GREEN PIN – BOW SUNKEN HOLE PIN

All Van Beest shackles have a specific design for a specific application. Examples are the “Super” shackles which are made out of grade 8 steel enabling the dimensions of the shackles to be minimized for use in limited space conditions, without loss of functionality or Working Load Limit.

Or sling shackles for use with large slings, to provide a better radius to the sling being used. Another example of functional design is the use of shackles where the pin has a square sunken hole so as not to obstruct the use of fishing nets. These are all examples of a highly functional design, to optimize the use of the Van Beest shackles in daily use.

Furthermore, shackles used for lifting applications are stamped with the following marks, to specify the quality and safety of use of the shackles:

• – Working Load Limit n i.e. WLL 25 T
• – manufacturer’s identification symbol n i.e. GP, indicating Green Pin or Bs, indicating Van Beest
