LOAD RATED D SHACKLES 8MM GALVANISED ROTECH DS08R
The load rated D-shackles are perfect for supporting a heavy load.
Rotech D shackles are perfect for heavy lifting and static systems where a reliable strong D-shackle is needed.
Each load rated screw pin shackle comes with a galvanised steel body and yellow screw pin.
They can be used the same as regular D-shackles however, the rating means you know how much load they will safely be able to handle.
How To Choose the correct D-Shackle:
A D-shackle is a great option if you want to attach your chain to other objects. However, you will want to make sure you pick the right D-shackle for your chain.
When choosing a D-shackle, you will need to find out the inside width of the chain link.
The pin of the D-shackle will need to be smaller than this width in order for it to fit through your chain link.
To find the inside width of the chain, simply subtract 2x the chain link diameter from the total width.
For example, here is how you would calculate the inside width of an 8mm chain:
27mm (width) – 2 x 8mm (diameter) = 11mm (inside width)
In this example, the inside width of an 8mm chain is 11mm.
This means you would want to get a D-shackle with a pin diameter (Ø) of 10mm or less.
(An 11mm pin might be too tight a fit).
Common Questions
What are these shackles used for?
These load rated D-shackles are designed for heavy lifting and static systems where you need a reliable, strong connection. They're perfect for supporting a heavy load and can be used to attach chain to other objects.
How do I know if this 8mm shackle will fit my chain?
You need to check the inside width of your chain link. To find it, subtract 2 times the chain link diameter from the total chain width. For example, an 8mm chain with 27mm total width would have an 11mm inside width. Your shackle pin needs to be smaller than this to fit through — so for that example, you'd want a pin of 10mm or less. The pin on this 8mm shackle is 8mm, so it will suit 8mm chain.
What's the difference between these and regular D-shackles?
These are load rated, which means you know exactly how much weight they can safely handle. Regular D-shackles don't come with that guarantee. Both types work the same way, but the rating on these gives you confidence for heavy-duty work.
What material are they made from?
Each shackle has a galvanised steel body with a yellow screw pin. The galvanising protects them from rust and corrosion.
