Shackle
There are, in the main, three types of shackle used for lifting: the bow, dee and grab types. They are normally
forged from various grades of steel, the higher quality alloy steels giving, size for size, a higher working load
limit than those made in higher tensile steels, and correspondingly higher tensile steel shackles have a higher
working load limit than those made in mild steel.
