About Crosby

Crosby shackles feature carbon steel construction in a bolt-type design to handle a maximum load of 110000 lb; suitable for heavy-duty clamping and lifting applications. These shackles are ideal for permanent and long-term installations where the load may slide on the shackle pin, thereby causing the pin to rotate. The brand's wire rope clips are used to secure wire rope ends while turning back to form a loop. These ASME B30.26 compliant wire ropes have a galvanised / painted finish to resist corrosion and rusting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are Crosby shackles manufactured?

These shackles are meant for work under the most difficult conditions. They are certified, tested and made in the USA.

What's the difference between a clevis and a shackle?

Shackles are mainly employed in rigging, construction and lifting. A clevis is suitable for less demanding applications like towing and farming. Shackles with round pins, completely restrained with a cotter pin, are not suitable for overhead lifting.

What are the 2 types of shackles?

?D? (chain) shackles are typically designed to connect two pieces rated for in-line tension, while bow (anchor) shackles are suitable where more than one connection has to be made to the body.
