Hooks and Shackles: shackles, hooks, clips and turnbuckles

Hooks and Shackles

A detailed buying guide: how to choose a shackle or hook.

Rigging hooks and shackles connect slings, wire ropes and chains to the load and hoist. This section has shackles, latch hooks, wire rope clips, turnbuckles and thimbles.

What to consider when choosing a shackle or hook

Type

A shackle joins several parts, a latch hook keeps the sling on and a turnbuckle tensions the rope.

Working load limit

Always choose by working load limit (WLL) with a margin and never exceed it. Read wire-rope and chain hoists: types and mounting.

Material

Forged steel is needed for lifting, galvanised and stainless for outdoors and near water.

Marking

Use only WLL-marked parts for lifting; unmarked hardware is for securing only.

Safety

Always screw a shackle pin fully home and never load a hook on its tip. Read how to lift loads safely with an electric hoist.

Storage

Lubricate threads and check for wear and deformation.

At ToolsArmenia you can choose hooks and shackles by type, rating, material and marking.
