Unlike screw pin shackles, which are designed for quick and frequent connections, bolt type shackles are used in permanent or semi-permanent applications where the shackle will remain in place for extended periods. Many riggers consider bolt type shackles a safer option because the bolt is secured with a nut and cotter pin, virtually eliminating the risk of the pin unthreading or "walking out" due to vibration or movement. These shackles are commonly used in overhead lifting, critical rigging applications, and long-term anchor points.
We offer a variety of high-quality bolt type shackles, including Crosby G-2130, Crosby G-2140 (alloy version), Van Beest Green Pin G-4163, and Skookum #320, each providing unique advantages depending on the application.
Crosby G-2130 Bolt Type Anchor Shackle
The Crosby G-2130 is one of the most widely used bolt type anchor shackles, known for its forged, quenched, and tempered carbon steel construction. It features a hot-dip galvanized finish for corrosion resistance and a 6:1 design factor, making it a trusted choice for lifting and rigging applications where safety is critical.
Crosby G-2140 Alloy Bolt Type Anchor Shackle
For applications requiring additional strength, the Crosby G-2140 is an alloy steel version of the G-2130. With its higher working load limit, it is ideal for heavy-duty lifting operations. The combination of alloy steel and a bolt/nut/cotter pin setup ensures maximum security and durability in demanding environments.
Van Beest Green Pin G-4163 Bolt Type Shackle
The Van Beest Green Pin G-4163 is a high-quality European-made bolt type shackle recognized for its durability and smooth design, which helps reduce wear on synthetic slings and ropes. Its green pin allows for quick identification in the field, and its high safety standards make it a trusted choice for long-term rigging applications.
Skookum #320 Bolt Type Shackle – The Strongest Size-for-Size
For those needing maximum strength, the Skookum #320 is the strongest bolt type shackle we offer on a size-for-size basis, just like the Skookum #263 screw pin shackle. Designed for the toughest applications, Skookum shackles are engineered for extreme loads and heavy-duty rigging, making them the best option for industries requiring the highest level of performance and reliability.
Why Choose Bolt Type Shackles?
Bolt type shackles provide an extra layer of security and safety, making them ideal for applications where the shackle must stay in place for an extended period. The bolt, nut, and cotter pin design prevents accidental loosening, making them well-suited for overhead lifting, structural connections, and critical rigging setups. Whether you need a standard carbon steel model, a high-strength alloy option, or the strongest shackle available, we offer a range of bolt type shackles to meet your specific rigging needs.
