Get this Crosby G-209 Anchor Shackle 6-1/2 Ton WLL, 7/8 In. Screw Pin Shackle - 1018516 for quick and easy setup for your lifting and rigging applications. This Crosby anchor shackle is ideal for lifting and rigging applications in construction, warehouses, and transportation, where quick setup is required. Know more about this Crosby shackle below:
- Size & Capacity: This heavy-duty shackle is available in a size of 7/8" with an inside length and width of 3.31" and 2.28" respectively. The throat opening of this anchor shackle is 1.44". With a working load limit of 6.5 Metric tons or 14,300 lbs, this Crosby anchor shackle performs for the long term in demanding conditions. This screw pin anchor shackle is also fatigue rated to 1.5 times the WLL at 20,000 cycles for use in dynamic and repetitive lifting situations.
- Material & Construction: This anchor shackle is made using forged, quenched, and tempered steel, which provides it with exceptional strength and durability. With a hot-dip galvanized finish (standard G-209 series), it comes with excellent corrosion tolerance in harsh environments.
- Easy to Use with Screw Pin: The screw pin available with the anchor shackle in a diameter of 1" allows you to quickly assemble and disassemble the anchor. This alloy steel pin makes the shackle anchor more convenient for short-term use or frequent reconfiguration.
- Application: As the screw-type shackle anchors are easy to assemble, they are useful in lifting and rigging applications requiring temporary or repetitive lifts, such as in construction sites. It can be used for connecting slings to crane hooks or lifting points, or during maintenance work, during equipment inspection, or repair. The shackle anchor is also useful for towing and recovery.
- Standard Compliance: The Crosby G-209 series meets ASME B30.26 for rigging hardware and complies with Federal Specification RR-C-271H, Type IVA, Grade A, Class 2. It also abides by the Type approved to ABS Steel Vessel Rules and ABS Guide for Certification of Lifting Appliances. The compliance with these standards makes this product a trusted rigging hardware for lifting, rigging, and secure connections.
- How to Use It
- Insert the screw pin through the eye or loop of the load or lifting device, ensuring proper alignment with the shackle body.
- Hand-tighten the screw pin securely until it's fully seated—ensure no visible threads are exposed.
- Make sure the load is applied in a straight line through the shackle to reduce side loading.
- Before lifting, double-check that the pin is secure and not cross-threaded or partially engaged.
- Reinspect frequently during use, especially when operating in environments with vibration, movement, or temperature extremes.
- Safety Considerations
- Always verify that the Working Load Limit (WLL) matches or exceeds the weight of your load.
- Do not use the shackle if the pin shows signs of wear, galling, corrosion, or thread damage.
- Avoid applications with rotating or vibrating loads, as the screw pin may loosen over time—bolt-type shackles are better suited for such cases.
- Keep the shackle body centered on the pin and avoid placing loads against the threads or pin shoulder.
- Operate within the temperature tolerance range of -40°F to 400°F, and avoid sudden temperature shifts that may affect material performance.
- Use only with components (chains, hooks, slings) that are rated for equal or greater WLL, and that fit properly within the shackle’s throat and body dimensions.
