Sling Saver - Bolt - Shackle
Application: Used for a secure long-term or permanent
connection of nylon or polyester slings to pad eye, eye bolt, or lifting lugs
in rigging and overhead lifting in applications where the load may slide and
cause the pin to rotate. Designed for use with Type III (eye & eye), Class
7, 2-ply webbing, synthetic round slings, single ply, and endless slings.
Description: An all alloy large round bow with a bolt and cotter type securement system, that has been closed die forged then quenched and tempered. The wider sling bearing surface creates an increased area for load distribution increasing synthetic sling efficiency, allowing for 100% of the sling’s rated working limit, better load distribution on internal fibers, and minimal bunching of the sling.
NOTE: The wider Bolt Type bow diameter
allows for better load distribution. The 5 to 1 design factor is the ratio of
the minimum breaking strength to the permissible working load. The shackle
size, Product Identification Code (PIC for material traceability), and the
working load limit is forged into the bow.
The Crosby Difference: There are many look-a-like Crosby
shackles, often found at lower prices and advertised with the same safety
standards. Be aware it may refer to safety ratings in effect decades ago. For
example, under the same safety standard a decade ago a lifting shackle may be
rated to 100% without proof load testing, while today it may be 300% with proof
load testing.
Quality Standard: Meets or exceeds the requirements of ASME
B30.26, which include identification, durability, design factor, proof load,
and temperature requirements. Also, go above and beyond these standard safety
requirements by including fatigue life, impact properties, and material
traceability; factors that are not required by ASME B30.26. Meets requirements
for minimum stock diameter or thickness, and effective contact width shown in
the Recommended Standards Specification for Synthetic Polyester Round Slings by
the Web Sling & Tie Down Association WSTDA-RS1.
Availability: Shipping time is subject to change PER
manufacturer availability.
Industry Names: Also known as 'bolt pin sling saver shackles'. Includes: (1) one Crosby shackle
WARNING: Never exceed rated capacity!
