Screw pin shackles are the most widely used type of shackle in rigging, particularly screw pin anchor shackles, which feature rounded sides for versatile connections. While chain shackles—which have straight sides—are also available, they are less commonly used. Screw pin shackles offer a balance of strength, ease of use, and quick assembly, making them a go-to choice for pick-and-place rigging applications. Among the top models we offer are Crosby G-209, Crosby G-209A (alloy version), Van Beest Green Pin G-4161, and Skookum #263 Screw Pin Shackles, each providing unique advantages for different lifting needs.
