Features of Green Pin Wide Mouth Shackles

Manufactured from high tensile grade 8 steel which has been quenched and tempered and has a hot dipped galvanized finish for extra durability. They will work seamlessly for extended periods without succumbing to corrosion or suffering wear and tear. This makes them a cost-effective long term solution for a number of commercial lifting tasks in challenging environments. 

The safety bolt on these shackles incorporates a split pin / cotter pin to ensure the bolt remains in position and will not fall out.
