Page updated 191205SHACKLES5: 5:SHACKLESXXXXGREEN PIN SHACKLESShacklesThese simple devices are used to connect wires, chains or ropes to eachother or to anchoring points. They consist of a U-shaped body and a pin,and are generally made of steel or stainless steel.Choosing the correct shackle depends on the application:To join a single wire, chain or rope to an anchor point choose aD-Shackle.To join more than one wire, chain or rope to an anchor point choosea Bow Shackle.Bow and D-Shackles can be supplied with Screw Pins, Clevis Pins or Bolts:Screw Pins are by far the most common type used on stage. Theyare chosen when the shackle needs to be frequently fastened andunfastened. If the shackle is being left for long periods the pin shouldbe secured with seizing wire to prevent it from accidentally unscrewing.Clevis Pin shackles are generally used to connect directly to pulleys.We do not sell this type of shackle separately. The pins are securedwith a split pin.Bolt Type shackles are useful when frequent inspection is difficult. Thenut is secured with a split pin. This type of shackle has the advantagethat the pin can rotate slightly under load without it unscrewing makingit a very secure shackle. They are not so convenient for frequent usageand are generally used for permanent installations. They are oftencalled Anchor Shackles.What is a “Lifting Shackle”For lifting operations you should choose a “Lifting Shackle”.These are shown in our catalogue with the “Hook Symbol”.A lifting shackle will be a steel shackle which either complies with theEuropean Standard BS EN 13889 or the US Federal Specification RR-C271b [which would meet the EN standard]. It was the influence of theoil industry that made US Fed Spec. shackles so popular. Hopefully, aninternational standard will be agreed in the future. All lifting shackles mustbe marked with their WLL, manufacturer’s name or symbol, traceabilitycode and grade mark. They should also have a CE mark. They should besupplied with either a Report of Thorough Examination or a EC Declarationof Conformity and instructions for use. You will notice that pins on LiftingShackles are all slightly fatter than the material that makes the body ofthe shackle. This is because the modern WLL allows the load to be appliedto the centre of the pin. Older legislation required the load to be evenlyspread along the pin. Care should be taken to ensure these old shacklesare no longer in service.Please be aware that lifting shackles are marked with a Working Load Limitin kg [or tonnes] but Karabiners used for personal protection equipmentare marked with the Breaking Load in kN.Shackle CareIt is very important that the shackle is able to move freely in the axialdirection of the load. Lifting shackles should be inspected before use andat six-monthly intervals [or in accordance to an examination scheme]. Ifthe shackle is to be exposed to corrosion a little Anhydrous Lanolin [page169] applied to the pin will ensure a longer service life.Why buy your shackles from Flints?Flints registers every lifting shackle sold on our database.

We have expanded our range of these reliable connectorswhich are suitable for PPE. Each connector is supplied with userinstructions [in English!]. They are all galvanised mild steel except thePPEG0107 which is stainless steel. Breaking load is 5 x WLL [major axis].StandardsConnectors used for work positioning and fall arrest should comply with EN362 which states a minimum strength of 15 kN along the major axis withthe gate closed and unlocked and 20 kN for the gate closed and locked. Themountaineering standard EN 12275 exceeds the requirements of EN 362.Take carePlease ensure that lines connecting karabiners do not get twistedor tangled, especially around the latch, as it is possible, in very rarecircumstances, for a twisted line to disengage the safety button and twistthe gate to the open position. It is good practice to ensure all lines toany fittings [shackle, rigging screw, lanyard connectors etc.] pull in therequired direction along the major axis before applying loads.5: CARBINE HOOKS5: XXXX& OTHER SNAPSFor information on newtons and kN pleasesee the information box on page 143.Standard Pattern BlackLong opening PatternDelta Pattern [also in black]STEEL GENERAL PURPOSE KARABINERS TO EN362Standard Pattern BlackStandard pattern black WLL codetype bar Ø gate openingPPENZ08N 8 mm 11 mm 700 kg WIR250BPPENZ10N10 mm 12 mm 1,100 kg WIR251BFoin D Karabiners25 kN Economical steelprice 4.67 5.95Long Opening PatternLong opening pattern [stainless steel version shown]type bar Ø gate openingSS PPEGO107 7 mm 16 mmPPEGOZ077 mm 16 mmPPEGOZ10 10 mm 20.5 mmWLL codeprice800 kg WIR246SS500 kg WIR2461,000 kg WIR245 9.22 3.22 4.91Delta Pattern The black 8 mm Delta is the preferred connectorto link the Petzl Absorbica to the Jane Lanyard [page 313].Delta pattern [triangular shape for 3-way loading] WLLcodetype bar Ø gate openingBlack PPEDZ08N 8 mm 10 mm 550 kg WIR252BPPEDZ10 10 mm 12 mm 900 kg WIR247PPEGZ12 12 mm 15 mm 1,100 kg WIR249ScrewgateTwistlockconnectors which comply toEN 362 for use in workpositioning or fall arrest.Available with Twistlock orthe very popular screwgate.Overall height: 105 mm, overall width:57 mm.Foin D Karabiners Min BL codetype weight gate opening major axis when closedTwistlock 190 g 16 mm 25 kN SAF4247Screwgate 180 g 18 mm 25 kN SAF4249price 7.47 3.39priceOffset D Screwgate Karabiner45 kN [C812] These steel karabiners are suitable for 5.54 5.09 7.58fall arrest and work positioning purposes.CE marked to EN 362:2004/B 45 kN.Any unit that has arrested a fallingweight should be replaced immediately.45 kN alongthe major axisOffset D Screwgate [C812] Min BL codeweight gate opening major axis when closed235 g 18 mm 45 kN SAFC812COMMERCIAL QUICK LINKSprice 15.00Commercial Quick Links These areuntested quick links which are not suitable forlifting purposes but make a useful lightweight andsecure fastening for small chains and accessories.Commercial Quick Linksbar Ø3.5 mm4 mm5 mm6 mm164T: 020 7703 9786code price100 WIR230WIR231WIR232WIR233 0.36 0.40 0.50 0.58 0.55 0.61 0.77 0.88Captive Eye Karabiners 45 kN [C962]This steel karabiner is fitted with a screwgate.Suitable for fall arrest and work positioning.CE Marked to EN 362:2004/T 45 kN.4 Ideal for use as a robust45 kN alongend connector for a lanyardthe major axisCaptive Eye [C962] Min BL codeweight gate opening major axis when closed250 g 18 mm 45 kN SAFC962price 17.63Any unit that has arrested a fallingweight should be replaced immediately.Unit 9 Deptford Trading Estate, Blackhorse Road, London, SE8 5HYwww.flints.co.uk
