Product Description
Duplex Steel Shackle is a load bearing member of material handling industries. It is completely suitable to be used with cranes for easily & safely carrying large amount of weight for loading & unloading purpose. Made of high grade steel, this shackle is greatly admired for assuring long service life and excellent mechanical strength. It comprises a removable pin which serves as locking assembly and assists in securely holding material. Duplex Steel Shackle offered by us is highly appreciated for giving flexibility to quickly connect & disconnect different rigging subsets.
Superior Corrosion ResistanceOur Duplex Steel Shackles, forged from Duplex 2205 or 2507 stainless steel, excel in environments prone to corrosion such as marine, offshore, and chemical industries. Their advanced chromium, nickel, and molybdenum blend, combined with passivation, delivers outstanding resistance, reducing maintenance costs and prolonging service life.
Certified Safety and QualityEvery shackle undergoes individual load testing and is certified to meet ASME B30.26 and ASTM A182/A276 standards. This process ensures each products strength, reliability, and adherence to strict safety protocols for heavy-duty lifting operations in diverse industries.
Versatile and Customizable DesignAvailable in bow and D-shape configurations, our shackles suit varied rigging, lifting, and connection needs. With a load capacity of up to 30 tons, size range from 1/2 inch to 2 inches, and multiple pin options, choices can be tailored for specific projects, improving operational flexibility.
FAQs of Duplex Steel Shackle:
Q: How are Duplex Steel Shackles commonly used in industrial settings?
A: Duplex Steel Shackles are primarily used for connecting lifting slings, ropes, and chains in heavy lifting, rigging, and marine operations. Their high strength, fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance make them ideal for applications requiring repetitive or dynamic loads.
Q: What is the testing and certification process for these shackles?
A: All Duplex Steel Shackles undergo individual load testing as per ASME B30.26 standards. Each unit is inspected and certified to ensure it meets performance, safety, and quality guidelines before being dispatched to customers.
Q: When should I choose a bow shackle versus a D-shape shackle?
A: Bow shackles are suitable for multi-directional loads or connections that may shift during lifting, thanks to their wider internal arch. D-shape shackles are ideal for straight-line pulls, offering a more compact design for limited space applications.
Q: Where can these shackles be effectively utilized?
A: These shackles are widely used in marine environments, offshore platforms, construction, mining, and heavy industrial facilities throughout India and globally. Their high resistance to corrosion and temperature extremes allows safe use in varied, harsh conditions.
Q: What are the key benefits of using Duplex 2205/2507 stainless steel for shackles?
A: Duplex 2205/2507 grades offer superior tensile strength (min. 620 MPa), low magnetic permeability, and outstanding corrosion and fatigue resistance. This enables reliable performance under tough loads across a wide temperature range (-50C to +300C).
Q: Is the shackle size or pin type customizable to specific applications?
A: Yes, shackle dimensions, diameter (10mm25mm), thickness (8mm20mm), and pin type (screw, bolt & nut, or safety pin) can be customized as per project or operational requirements, ensuring compatibility and optimal safety.
Q: How does the high fatigue strength benefit repetitive load applications?
A: High fatigue strength ensures that the shackle can safely endure frequent or cyclic loading over time without failing, making it particularly suited for applications involving repetitive lifting or dynamic stresses.
