About Bow Shackle
Based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, we are becoming as one of the leading suppliers of Bow Shackle. It is a type of connecting link assembly made of high grade steel alloy using forging method. This shackle is used for linking other equipment and assemblies in rigging systems. It is designed having a shaped structure with a locking bolt at the end. Offered Bow Shackle is known to have the ability to take load from many directions without developing side load.

Versatile and Durable DesignEngineered for reliability, our Bow Shackles are constructed from high-grade alloy steel to ensure high tensile strength and long-lasting performance. With finishes like hot dip galvanized, self colored, and painted, they offer enhanced corrosion resistance based on specific operational needs. The bow (U-shaped) structure and painted screw pin improve both function and safety in critical lifting and anchoring tasks.
Strict Adherence to Industry StandardsOur shackles comply with prominent international standards such as IS 2415, ASTM A153, and EN 13889. This ensures consistent performance, optimal safety, and compatibility in industrial settings. The typical safety factor of 6:1 makes them a trusted choice for applications where security and dependability are paramount.
Wide Range for Varied ApplicationsWith a Working Load Limit spanning 500 kg to 55,000 kg and temperature capability from -20C to 200C, these shackles are ideal for a multitude of uses-from industrial lifting to marine towing and anchoring. Modular sizing supports different operational needs, with weights ranging from 0.2 kg to 10 kg to address diverse project requirements.
FAQ's of Bow Shackle:
Q: How should I select the appropriate Bow Shackle size for my lifting operation?
A: To select the right Bow Shackle, consider the required Working Load Limit (WLL), the diameter of both the shackle and the pin, and the type of load. Choose a shackle whose WLL meets or exceeds your operational needs and always factor in the safety factor, typically 6:1, to ensure safety during lifting or towing.
Q: What are the benefits of a hot dip galvanized or painted finish on Bow Shackles?
A: Hot dip galvanized finishes provide excellent corrosion resistance, making the shackles ideal for outdoor or marine environments. Painted finishes (including the red screw pin) improve visibility for safety and can provide moderate corrosion protection, while self colored shackles are suited for controlled environments without harsh corrosive exposure.
Q: Where can Bow Shackles be effectively used?
A: Bow Shackles are versatile and suitable for lifting, anchoring, towing, and connecting rigging systems in sectors such as construction, shipping, logistics, and heavy industrial operations across India. Their robust design allows reliable use in diverse onshore and offshore applications.
Q: What is the process for proper installation of a Bow Shackle with a screw pin?
A: Insert the screw pin fully into the shackle's eyes and hand-tighten until the pin is securely seated, ensuring the red-painted head is visible for quick inspection. Do not force the pin or use additional tools to tighten, as over-torquing can damage the threads or reduce shackle integrity. Always inspect the shackle and pin before use.
Q: When should a Bow Shackle be replaced?
A: Replace your Bow Shackle if you notice visible signs of deformation, significant corrosion, cracks, excessive wear, or damage to the screw pin's threads. Periodic inspection before each use is crucial, especially in high-stress or corrosive environments.
Q: How does temperature affect the performance of these Bow Shackles?
A: These Bow Shackles are designed to operate effectively in temperatures ranging from -20C to 200C. Within this range, the high-tensile alloy steel structure maintains its strength and integrity, ensuring safe and reliable performance even in extreme conditions.
