D Shackle With Screw Pin, Ungalv, 28 Mm Swl 2.5 Ton

This ungalvanized D shackle features a screw pin design and a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 2.5 tons (28 mm). It’s a crucial rigging component for various marine applications, providing a secure connection point for lifting, towing, and mooring operations on vessels.

Shackle With — This D shackle with a screw pin and ungalvanized finish is a vital piece of rigging equipment commonly found aboard vessels of all types. Its primary function is to provide a strong, reliable connection point for lifting, towing, and mooring operations. The screw pin design allows for quick and easy attachment and detachment of loads, making it a practical choice for busy deck crews.

The 'D' shape of the shackle offers a wide load-bearing surface, distributing stress effectively and minimizing the risk of deformation under load. This design is particularly useful when connecting to slings, chains, or other rigging hardware where a secure and stable connection is paramount. The Safe Working Load (SWL) of 2.5 tons (28 mm) indicates the maximum weight the shackle can safely handle when used correctly.

Procurement of this shackle is essential for maintaining a well-stocked ship's store and ensuring the availability of critical rigging components for routine maintenance and emergency situations. When specifying this item in a Request for Quotation (RFQ), it's important to clearly state the SWL requirement (2.5 tons) and the ungalvanized finish to avoid any ambiguity.

Shackle With — Ungalvanized shackles are typically used in environments where corrosion is not a significant concern or where the shackle is regularly maintained and protected from the elements. Shackle With — They are often preferred in applications where the aesthetic appearance of the shackle is important, as they do not have the characteristic grey finish of galvanized shackles.

Proper handling and inspection are crucial for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of this shackle. Regularly inspect the screw pin and shackle body for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Incorrect use can lead to equipment failure and potential injury. This type of shackle is frequently used in conjunction with other rigging hardware, such as chain blocks, wire ropes, and turnbuckles, to create complete lifting and rigging systems.

Marine engineers, deck officers, and ship supply managers should be familiar with the specifications and applications of this D shackle. The IMPA code 230329 provides a standardized reference for procurement purposes. Selecting the correct shackle is vital for safe vessel operations. Always verify the SWL matches the intended load and consider the environmental conditions. Regular inspection and proper maintenance are essential to ensure the long-term reliability of this critical piece of equipment.
