Anchor shackles are a type of shackle used for securing loads or connecting rigging hardware in various industrial applications. They are also commonly known as bow shackles or D shackles.
Anchor shackles are designed with a U-shaped body and a removable screw pin or bolt that passes through the two ends of the shackle to secure a load or connect rigging hardware. They are typically made of steel or other strong materials and come in various sizes to match the load capacity and environmental conditions in which they will be used.
Anchor shackles are commonly used in rigging applications for lifting and securing heavy loads. They are also used in marine applications to secure anchors and chains. To ensure safe and efficient use of anchor shackles, it is important to select the right size and material for the load and environmental conditions. It is also essential to properly inspect the shackles before each use for any signs of wear or damage, such as cracks or deformations, that could compromise their strength and integrity. Additionally, users must follow proper rigging techniques and safety protocols to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of themselves and others.
