Bow Shackle

Bow Shackles are robust connecting devices used for lifting, rigging, and securing loads where flexibility and multi-leg sling connections are required. They are manufactured to ASTM, DIN, and ISO standards in carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel. The bow shape provides extra internal clearance, making them suitable for angular or side loading compared to D shackles. Available in screw pin and bolt & nut safety pin types, they ensure both ease of use and secure fastening. They are widely used in construction, marine, oil & gas, and heavy lifting operations worldwide.
