Lifting Shackle (Hebeschäkel) Key benefits: Robust construction for high load durability and improved corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance and replacement frequency. Function: Designed for lifting and rigging (takelageschäkel) tasks where secure, load-bearing connections are required. Compatibility: Works with standard lifting hardware and rigging fittings; available in sizes and pin types to match existing gear. Performance: Built to withstand repeated load cycles and marine or industrial environments where corrosion protection matters. Recovery Shackle (Bergungsschäkel) Key benefits: Simple, convenient operation speeds up rigging and recovery tasks while maintaining safety and control. Function: A practical rigging tool for vehicle or equipment recovery and other pull/ tow applications; described as a stoßschäkel (impact/force shackle) suitable for dynamic loads. Compatibility: Fits common recovery straps, winch hooks, and rigging systems. Performance: Designed for reliable engagement and release under field conditions, easing setup and breakdown. Stainless Steel Shackle (Edelstahlschäkel) Key benefits: Corrosion-resistant material ideal for long service life in harsh environments. Function: Suited for a wide range of shipboard and industrial uses where stainless construction is required. Compatibility: Matches marine fittings, deck hardware, and industrial anchor points; suitable where saltwater or chemical exposure is expected. Performance: Maintains strength and appearance over time with minimal corrosion-related degradation. Chain Shackle (Kettenschäkel) Key benefits: Purpose-built for anchor and chain connections, providing secure, reliable links between components. Function: Used between anchors and anchor chains and for connecting to stoßschäkeln (impact/force shackles) in anchoring systems. Compatibility: Fits anchor chain sizes and standard anchor shackles; designed to integrate into existing anchoring assemblies. Performance: Engineered for heavy static and cyclic loads associated with mooring and anchoring. Typical applications / use scenarios Marine anchoring: Use stainless steel shackles and chain shackles to connect anchors to chain and link into anchoring systems for boats, buoys, or small offshore hardware. Recovery and towing: Use the recovery shackle for vehicle or equipment pulls, quick rigging to winches or straps where easy, reliable connection and release are important. Lifting and rigging: Use the lifting shackle in hoisting assemblies, construction rigging, or industrial material handling to secure loads and transfer forces safely. Materials and selection guidance Choose the stainless steel model (Edelstahlschäkel) where corrosion resistance is a priority. Choose the chain shackle (Kettenschäkel) when connecting anchors to chains or linking to impact/stoß shackles. Confirm pin type and shackle size to match your existing rigging, chain, or anchor specifications for safe compatibility. Safety and maintenance notes Inspect shackles before each use for wear, deformation, or corrosion. Use the correct shackle size and pin type rated for the load and application. Replace shackles that show signs of damage or reduced performance to maintain safety and reliability.
