US Type Shackles

American Shackles, with their reliable performance and excellent quality, occupy an important position in the world's lifting and hoisting operations. These shackles are usually made of high-strength steel to meet stringent operating requirements and strictly follow the relevant safety standards in the United States, and are widely used in construction, shipping, industrial manufacturing and other industries. The following is a detailed introduction from multiple dimensions such as type, material, security specifications and application scenarios. ​

Type of American shackle：
The D-type American shackle is named for its shape similar to the letter "D" and is also known as the straight shackle. Its structure is simple, the force is clear, and the performance is excellent in the single direction of the force scene, and the strength of the material is maximized. In tower crane operations on construction sites, the D-type American shackle connects the hook to the sling, using its single-direction high load characteristics to safely and efficiently lift building materials such as steel bars and precooted panels. And the installation and disassembly are very convenient, improve the efficiency of work. ​

Bow American shackle, the appearance is unique bow, so it is also called bow shackle. Compared with type D, the bow shackle has a larger cross-sectional area and can evenly distribute the force in multiple directions. In the process of bridge construction, the direction of operation is complicated and changeable when lifting bridge components. With excellent multi-directional mechanical performance, the bow style shackle can stably connect various lifting equipment and ensure the safe and orderly lifting operation. ​

American shackle material：
American shackles are mainly made of high quality alloy steel or carbon steel. Alloy steel shackles have excellent strength and toughness, can withstand large tensile forces, and are widely used in heavy duty operations such as lifting containers in large ports and large machinery and equipment, effectively reducing the risk of fracture caused by overload or impact, and improving operation safety. Carbon steel shackles have a low cost and are suitable for general lifting operations. In scenarios such as warehouse cargo handling and installation of small equipment, they can meet lifting requirements at a low cost. Some American shackle surface after galvanized, chrome and other anti-rust treatment, enhance Corrosion Resistance, prolong service life, especially suitable for wet or corrosive environment, such as ship maintenance, Marine engineering and other fields. ​

Safety codes and standards：
American shackles follow strict standards set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Others. Each shackle is clearly marked with important information such as load rating, manufacturer, batch number, etc., so that users can accurately select and trace product quality. In the process of use, it is strictly prohibited to use overload, and it is necessary to regularly check whether the shackle has deformation, cracks, wear and other conditions. In addition, the installation and disassembly must be carried out in strict accordance with the operating procedures to avoid safety accidents caused by improper operation. ​

Application scenario：
In the construction industry, from the construction of tall buildings to the construction of infrastructure, American shackles are used to connect a variety of lifting equipment and building materials, and are a key component to ensure the smooth construction. In the field of shipping, whether it is the loading and unloading of cargo in ports, or the maintenance and construction of ships, American shackles play an important role in ensuring the installation of ship equipment and the safety of Cargo Transportation. In the industrial manufacturing sector, American shackles help lift raw materials and finished products on the production line for efficient production. ​

With a wide range of types, reliable materials and strict safety standards, American shackles provide safe and efficient connection solutions for all types of lifting operations, and are an indispensable tool for modern industry. ​
