Specialty Shackles – Unique Solutions for Specific Rigging Applications

Specialty shackles are designed for specific lifting, rigging, and securing needs, making them less commonly used than standard shackles but critical in the right applications. From long reach shackles to wide body shackles, sheet pile shackles, and ROV shackles, we offer a range of specialty shackles to meet even the most demanding rigging requirements.

CM Long Reach Shackles – Extended Length for Unique Rigging Needs
CM Long Reach Shackles provide extra throat opening, making them ideal for applications where additional reach is needed to connect lifting points. Available in two configurations:

• Screw Pin Long Reach Shackles – The most popular option, offering quick installation and removal while maintaining a secure connection.
• Bolt Type Long Reach Shackles – Ideal for semi-permanent applications, as the bolt, nut, and cotter pin prevent accidental loosening.

Wide Body Shackles – Increased Sling Protection & Load Distribution
Wide body shackles feature a larger bow that provides a greater bearing surface for synthetic slings and wire rope slings, reducing wear and extending sling life. We offer:

• Crosby G-2169 Wide Body Shackle – Available in only a few sizes, providing the benefits of a wide body design but with limited availability.
• Crosby G-2160 Wide Body Shackle – A more versatile option, available in more sizes, including some of the largest shackles on the market. These shackles are ideal for heavy lifting and critical load applications where sling protection and load stability are key factors.

Skookum Sheet Pile Shackles – Secure and Efficient Handling of Sheet Pile
Designed for lifting interlocking steel sheet piles, Skookum Sheet Pile Shackles provide a secure and efficient connection for construction, foundation work, and marine applications.

• Skookum 59A Manual Release Sheet Pile Shackle – This manual release model features an easy-opening pin that stays attached, preventing loss during operation. Available in sizes from 1" to 2" with a working load limit (WLL) range of 8 to 30 tons, it offers secure and reliable lifting while allowing manual detachment when needed.
• Skookum 159A Ground Release Sheet Pile Shackle – This model is designed for remote detachment from the ground, enhancing safety by eliminating the need for riggers to manually release the shackle at height. Available in 8-ton and 12-ton WLL options, it is ideal for efficient and secure sheet pile handling in heavy-duty construction environments.

ROV Shackles – Built for Subsea Applications
For underwater and offshore operations, we offer a variety of ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) Shackles, specifically engineered for subsea lifting applications. These shackles are designed for easy manipulation by ROVs and built to withstand harsh underwater conditions, ensuring safe and reliable lifting in offshore oil, gas, and marine industries.

Why Choose Specialty Shackles?
While not everyday rigging items, specialty shackles serve critical roles in the right applications. Whether you need a long reach shackle for added clearance, a wide body shackle for better sling protection, a Skookum sheet pile shackle for construction, or an ROV shackle for subsea lifting, we offer specialized solutions to meet your unique rigging needs.
