D Shackles
D shackles are sometimes called dee shackles or a chain shackle and have straight sides with a slightly rounded end on one side and its securing pin on the other, unlike bow shackles which have a more circular, bulbous appearance. We have dee shackles of all shapes and sizes on our site both for lifting and other purposes. We have shackles which are built with value in mind from 18p and those that are higher up the scale in terms of quality and lifting and load-bearing capabilities.

Capabilities of D Shackles
A d shackle is able to hold much larger loads when compared to a bow shackle of the same size, but a dee shackle can only be used for perpendicular loading whereas a bow shaped shackle can be loaded from an angle.D shackles are perfect for industrial lifting applications where straight, in-line lifting is required. Screw pin dee shackles with a simple cotter pin for securing are used in any in-line, towing, tie-down, lifting or suspension tasks; a screw pin dee shackle is great for most temporary perpendicular lifts whilst a bolt type dee shackle works the best for more permanent in-line lifting applications, due to the fact that it is not so easy to remove quickly.
