Reliable Shackles for Safe and Secure Lifting
Our Lifting Shackles Collection brings together a complete range of D shackles and Bow shackles designed for dependable strength, durability, and safety in lifting, rigging, and industrial applications. Whether you’re hoisting loads, securing slings, or connecting lifting chains, our shackles are built to meet the highest performance standards.
Each shackle in this range is precision engineered from high-quality steel and fully tested to ensure compliance with lifting regulations. Choose from galvanised, stainless steel, or heavy-duty alloy steel options — all designed to provide superior resistance to corrosion, wear and deformation under load.
D Shackles
D shackles (also called dee shackles) feature a narrow, straight-sided body and are ideal for connecting components under in-line tension. They are perfect for applications such as chain and rope connections, lifting assemblies, and load securing.
Explore our full selection of D Shackles including:
- Galvanised D Shackles for general lifting and outdoor use
- Stainless Steel D Shackles for marine and corrosive environments
- Heavy Duty Lifting D Shackles for industrial applications requiring extra strength
Their compact “D” shape makes them best suited for single, straight pulls without side loading — ensuring reliable and safe lifting every time.
Bow Shackles
Bow shackles, also known as anchor shackles, have a wider, rounded body that allows for multi-directional loading and easy connection of multiple slings. This makes them ideal for use with webbing, wire rope, or multi-leg lifting systems where movement or angled loading occurs.
Discover our range of Bow Shackles including:
- Large Bow Shackles for versatile lifting configurations
- Stainless Steel Bow Shackles for marine, rigging, and offshore use
- Galvanised Bow Shackles for outdoor and construction environments
Bow shackles offer superior flexibility when loads change direction or when multiple lifting lines need to connect to a single point.
