Information
High-strength, straight shackles GN 584 are made in analogy with the US Federal Specification RR-C-271 and feature sixfold safety standards, which means that the minimum failure load is at least six times greater than the value of the nominal load (WLL).
The rated size and the nominal load (WLL) are drop-forged into the shackle which makes it easier to select the proper sling gear. In general, the nominal load must not be exceeded.
The designs with nut and split pin (Type B) are normally recommended for permanent connections. The bolts are allowed to rotate, and the nuts are secured against inadvertent loosening with a split pin.
Operating instructions with more details and specifications are included with every delivery.
