No.704117

The H-Lift Stainless Steel European Type Large Dee Shackle is an elongated, D-shaped connecting link designed to provide extra internal clearance for secure, straight-line rigging and marine attachments.

Features an enlarged "D" profile with an extended inner length, offering increased space to accommodate thicker ropes, wider straps, or larger hardware assemblies.
Constructed from premium marine-grade stainless steel for outstanding durability and superior resistance to rust, corrosion, and saltwater environments.
Designed specifically for reliable, straight-line loading applications where extra reach or clearance is required.
Equipped with a threaded screw pin that allows for quick, secure attachment and easy removal during temporary or semi-permanent rigging operations.

Technical Data
Safe Use of Shackles

The Stainless Steel European Type Large Dee Shackle (commonly referred to as a Chain Shackle) is engineered with a significantly deeper and wider body than standard Dee shackles. This extended internal length allows it to comfortably accommodate thicker hardware, multiple sling eyes, or large thimbles, making it the premier choice for marine mooring and complex architectural tensioning systems.

⚠️ SAFETY WARNING: NO SIDE-LOADING.
Dee shackles are strictly designed for straight, in-line tension. If you apply a load from the side or at an angle, the body can twist or bend, leading to structural failure. For multi-directional loads or multi-leg slings, you must use a Bow Shackle.

📏 Extended "Large Dee" Profile

Features a much deeper internal body. This extra vertical space is crucial for connecting several pieces of hardware to a single anchor point without overcrowding the shackle pin.

🏗️ In-Line Tension Strength

The straight-sided "D" geometry is optimized for high-efficiency, in-line pulling. It provides maximum security for straight-line connections in marine and industrial lashing environments.

🛡️ Premium Material Selection

AISI 316 (Marine-Grade): Exceptional resistance to chlorides and chemicals, essential for coastal use.
AISI 304: Strong and rust-resistant, perfect for general outdoor rigging and architecture.

🔩 Secure Screw Pin Closure

Equipped with a precision-threaded screw collar pin. This provides a secure, tool-adjustable closure designed for frequent connecting and disconnecting in demanding conditions.

Q: What makes a "Large" Dee shackle different from a standard Dee shackle? A: A Large Dee shackle has a much deeper body (internal length). This extra space is crucial when you need to connect several pieces of hardware to the same point or when using thick thimbles and wire rope slings that would be too cramped in a standard "short" Dee shackle.

Q: Can I use a Dee shackle for side-loading? [Image showing the risk of shackle body twisting under side-loading vs proper in-line pulling] A: No. Dee shackles are strictly designed for straight, in-line pulls. If you apply a load from the side, the body can twist or bend under the uneven stress. If your application involves loads coming from different angles (like a 2-leg sling), you must use a Bow Shackle which is rounded to handle multi-directional tension.

Safety Guidelines

Always

Store and handle shackles correctly.
Inspect shackles before use and before placing into storage.
Select the correct pattern of shackle (Dee/Bow) and pin type for the application.
Fully tighten the pin before lifting.
Ensure the load acts through the centre line of the shackle.
Allow for the full resultant imposed load (consider angles).

Never

Use shackles with bent pins or deformed bodies.
Force, hammer, or wedge shackles into position.
Eccentrically load shackles (side loading).
Replace the pin with a standard bolt.
Fit pins in contact with moving parts which may unscrew them.
Shock load shackles.

Selection & Operation Guide

Selecting the Correct Shackle

Type: Use Anchor (Bow) shackles for multi-leg systems or where side loading may occur. Use Chain (Dee) shackles for straight-line pulls.

Pin Type:
• Screw Pin: Suitable for general, non-permanent purposes.
• Bolt Type (Safety Pin): Essential for long-term installations or where the pin may rotate under load.

⚠️ CAUTION: Loading on the Pin BS and ISO Standard shackles are rated for the pin to accept a central point load. Unless stated otherwise, assume the jaw must be fully filled and the load evenly distributed across the full pin width.

Using Shackles Safely

Avoid Side Loading: Position the shackle so the body takes the load along its center line. Use spacers if necessary to center the load on the pin.

Tightening: Tighten screw pins by hand, then lock with a small bar. Do not overtighten to the point of deforming the body. For bolt types, ensure the split cotter pin is fitted.

Choke Hitches: Place the pin through the eye of the sling. Never place the pin in contact with the "bight" of the choke or moving parts, as friction can unscrew the pin.

Maintenance & Storage

Storage: Store in a clean, dry place protected from corrosion. Never modify or galvanize a shackle without supplier approval.

Inspection: Check regularly for: distorted/stretched bodies, bent pins, damaged threads, nicks, gouges, or corrosion. illegible markings. If any defect is found, refer to a Competent Person.
