Hot Galvanised Steel Bow Shackles

What are bow shackles best used for compared to D-shackles?

Bow shackles are designed for multi-directional connections, making them ideal when you need to join several points or loads coming from different angles. D-shackles are typically used for single leg systems where the force is more aligned, so choose bow shackles for more complex rigging setups.

How do I know which size bow shackle to pick?

We offer sizes from 5mm to 24mm in body and pin diameter, each with specific inside dimensions like length and width. Consider the space available and the load requirements for your project—for example, a 5mm shackle has an inside length of 19mm and width of 15mm, while larger sizes provide more room for connections.

What does 'hot galvanised steel' mean for these shackles?

Hot galvanised steel means the shackles have a protective zinc coating applied through a hot-dip process, which enhances durability and helps resist rust and corrosion. This makes them suitable for use in outdoor or damp environments where exposure to elements is a concern.

How many shackles come in a pack when I order?

For sizes from 5mm to 14mm, each pack contains 10 shackles, which is convenient for multiple uses or projects. The larger sizes, 20mm and above, are sold individually, so you can order exactly the quantity you need for heavier-duty applications.

Can these bow shackles be used with chains or other rigging equipment?

Yes, these are specifically designed as chain accessories and work well with welded chains and various rigging systems. Their bow shape allows for multi-directional connections, making them versatile for joining chains in setups like lifting, towing, or securing loads.
