Bow Shackle

A Bow Shackle is an \'O\' shaped metal link which is closed by a bolt. Similar to an Anchor Shackle, the rounded design of both shackles allows Bow Shackles to take loads from many directions without developing a side load.A bow shackle is a fundamental and versatile rigging component used in various industries for connecting, lifting, and securing heavy loads. Designed with a distinctive "U" shape, the bow shackle features a larger loop at one end and a smaller pin or screw pin at the other, allowing easy attachment to various objects and equipment. Its sturdy construction, typically made from robust materials like stainless steel or galvanized steel, ensures high tensile strength and durability. Bow shackles find extensive application in marine, construction, and automotive sectors, where they are employed in hoisting, towing, and rigging operations. Proper selection, maintenance, and usage of bow shackles are crucial to ensure optimal performance and safety in lifting and rigging operations.
