What It Takes To Be
G-2130

Crosby Or Equal

G-209

DESIGN
The theoretical reserve capability of carbon shackles
should be as a minimum 5 to 1, and alloy shackles a
minimum of 5 to 1*. Known as the DESIGN FACTOR, it
is usually computed by dividing the catalog ultimate
load by the working load limit. The ultimate load is the
average load or force at which the product fails or no
longer supports the load. The working load limit is
the maximum mass or force which the product is
authorized to support in general service. The design
factor is generally expressed as a ratio such as 5 to 1.
Also important to the design of shackles is the selection
of proper steel to support fatigue, ductility and impact
properties.

forged condition, resulting in the
possibility of brittle failure.

The proper performance of premium shackles depends

on good manufacturing techniques that include proper
forging and accurate machining. Closed die forging of
shackles assures clear lettering, superior grain flow, and
consistent dimensional accuracy. A closed die forged
bow allows for an increased cross section that, when
coupled with quench and tempering, enhances strength
and ductility. Closed die bow forgings combined with
close tolerance pin holes assures good fatigue life. Close
pin to hole tolerance has been proven to be critical for
good fatigue life, particularly with screw pin shackles.

Quench and tempering assures the uniformity of

performance and maximizes the properties of the steel.
This means that each shackle meets its rated strength
and has required ductility, toughness, impact and
fatigue properties. The requirements of your job
demand this reliability and consistency. This quench
and tempering process develops a tough material that
reduces the risk of brittle, catastrophic failure. The
shackle bow will deform if overloading occurs,
giving warning before ultimate failure.

IDENTIFICATION AND APPLICATION

INFORMATION
The proper application of shackles requires that the
correct type and size of shackle be used. The shackles
working load limit, its size, a traceability code and the
manufacturers name should be clearly and boldly
marked in the bow. Traceability of the material
chemistry and properties is essential for total
confidence in the product. Material chemistry
should be independently verified prior to
manufacturing.

Each shackle is closed die forged.

Closed die forging produces consistent
dimensions. Close tolerance holes and

Crosby forges Crosby or CG, the

Working Load Limit, and the Product
Identification Code (PIC) into each bow
and pin of its full line of screw pin, round
pin, and bolt type anchor and chain
shackles.
Seminars conducted by Crosby provide
training on the proper use of shackles.
Crosby training packets, supplied free to
attendees of Crosby seminars, provide
training materials needed
to explain the proper
use of shackles.

* G-2160 Wide Body Shackles are metric rated at 5 to 1. G-2140 shackles, 200 ton and above, are rated at 4 to 1 in short tons.

Charpy impact properties: Crosbys Quenched and Tempered shackles have enhanced impact properties for greater
toughness at all temperatures. If requested at the time of order, Crosby can provide Charpy impact properties.
Fatigue properties: Fatigue properties are available for 1/3 to 55 metric ton shackles. These Crosby shackles are fatigue rated
to 20,000 cycles at 1-1/2 times the Working Load Limit.
Ductility properties: Typical ductility properties are available for all sizes upon special request.
Hardness levels and material tensile strengths: Typical values are available for all sizes of shackles, and actual values can
be furnished if requested at the time of order.
Proof Testing: If requested at the time of order, shackles can be furnished proof tested with certificates.
Mag Certification: If requested at the time of order, shackles can be Mag inspected with certificates.
Certification: Certification to World Class Standards is available upon special request at the time of order; American Bureau
of Shipping, Lloyds Register of Shipping, Det Norske Veritas, American Petroleum Institute, RINA, Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, and several other world wide standards.
Applications: Round Pin Shackles can be used in tie down, towing, suspension or lifting applications where the load is strictly
applied in-line. Screw Pin Shackles can be used in any application where a round pin shackle is used. In addition, screw pin
shackles can be used for applications involving side-loading circumstances. Reduced working load limits are required for
side-loading applications. Bolt-Type Shackles can be used in any application where round pin or screw pin shackles are used.
In addition, they are recommended for permanent or long-term installations and where the load may slide on the shackle
pin causing the pin to rotate.
Material analysis: Crosby can provide certified material (mill) analysis for each production lot, traceable by the Product
Identification Code (PIC). Crosby, through its own laboratory, verifies the analysis of each heat of steel. Crosby purchases
only special bar forging quality steel with specific cleanliness requirements and guaranteed hardenability.
Field inspection: Written instructions for visual, magnaflux, and dye penetrant inspection of shackles are available from
Crosby. In addition, acceptance criteria and repair procedures for shackles are available.
QUIC-CHECK: Shackles incorporate two marking indicators forged into the shackle bow at 45 angles from vertical. These
are utilized to quickly check the approximate angle of a two-legged hitch or quickly check the angle of a single leg hitch when
the shackle pin is secured and the pull of the load is off vertical or side loaded, thus requiring a reduction in the working load
limit of the shackle.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

Round Pin Shackles can be used in tie down, towing,

suspension or lifting applications where the load is
strictly applied in-line.
G/S-215

G/S-213

G-209 A

G/S-210

G/S-209

Screw Pin Shackles can be used in any application where a round pin shackle is used. In addition, screw pin shackles can
be used for applications involving side-loading circumstances. Reduced working load limits are required for side-loading
applications. While in service, do not allow the screw pin to be rotated by a live line, such as a choker application.

G/S-2150

G/S-2130

G/S-2140

G-2160

Bolt-Type Shackles can be used in any applications where round pin or screw pin shackles are used. In addition, they are
recommended for permanent or long term installations and where the load may slide on the shackle pin causing the pin to rotate.

QUIC-CHECK INFORMATION
All Crosby Shackles, except for G-2160s incorporate markings
forged into the product which address an easy QUIC-CHECK
feature. Angle indicators are forged into the shackle bow at 45
angles from vertical. These are utilized to quickly check the
approximate angle of a two-legged hitch or quickly check the
angle of a single leg hitch when the shackle pin is secured and
the pull of the load is off vertical or side loaded, thus requiring a
reduction in the working load limit of the shackle.
