Shackles are used in lifting operations and static systems as removable links to connect (steel) wire rope, chain and other fittings. Screw pin shackles are used mainly for non-permanent applications. Safety bolt shackles are used for long-term or permanent applications or where the load may slide on the pin causing rotation of the pin. Chain- or dee shackles are mainly used on one-leg systems whereas anchor- or bow shackles are mainly used on multi-leg systems.
