pin shackles

A pin shackle is basically a small metal loop that has some kind of additional piece (a "pin") to connect it. Pin shackles are quite handy for keeping and securing many attachmentsIn place in a wide variety of situations. These chains are extremely durable and come in various forms, sizes as per the specific requirements for a task. They are created in a way that they can serve as exceptional safety connectors between things.

A beginner's guide

There are two primary types of pin shackles that you might not be aware of if this is brand new information to you. A bow shackle is U shaped with a thread straight through the middle and another one that can make its way all-around it, which makes sense if you see bow shackles in use on boats since their black coating offers protection from sea salt. One thing that you need to keep in your mind is, pin shackles are available made of different materials like steel, stainless steel and aluminum. No matter what kind of material you choose, there are pros and cons for each type. Stainless steel does not corrode - that is great. Aluminum, on the other hand weighs a fifth as much and can be worked with existing practices in production/assembly centers The weight limit of a pin shackle is another consideration. This is known as a working load limit. This is the amount of weight that the shackle can safely lift without breaking.
