    Shackles are lifting attachments used to connect ropes, chains, and other fittings. The most common types are large dee and dee and bow shackles, available in grades M and S. Grade S shackles have safety or screw pins. Working load limits vary by angle, being 100% inline, 70% at 45 degrees, and 50% at 90 degrees. Shackles must be inspected before each use and properly marked with working load limit and other information. Correct shackle use is important for safety.

    45˚ • When using shackles in multi-leg slings, due consideration should
    70% WLL be given to the effect of the angle between the legs. As the
    included angle increases so to does the load in the sling leg and
    the shackle.
    90˚ • Shackles should never be used on a sling with an included angle
    50% WLL in excess of 120˚.
