What Are Chicago Hardware Shackles Used For?

Chicago Hardware shackles are used to connect slings, chains, or rope to lifting or anchoring points. They’re a staple in rigging setups for:

• Overhead lifting and hoisting
• Towing and recovery
• Trailer and load securement
• Construction and structural rigging
• Marine and saltwater applications
• Utility pole work and powerline installation

Whether you need anchor shackles for multi-directional loading or chain shackles for straight-line pulls, Chicago Hardware delivers reliable performance that meets the demands of heavy-duty work environments.

Types of Chicago Hardware Shackles We Offer

Explore our wide variety of Chicago Hardware rigging shackles:

• Anchor Shackles (Bow Shackles) – Ideal for multi-directional load paths, these rounded shackles provide space for connecting multiple slings and are commonly used in lifting, rigging, and hoisting applications.
• Chain Shackles (D Shackles) – Designed for straight-line tension, chain shackles offer a narrower profile for connecting directly to chain or hardware with limited clearance.
• Screw Pin Shackles – Quick to install and remove, screw pin anchor shackles are ideal for temporary or adjustable connections in load securement and rigging jobs.
• Bolt Type Shackles – Built for long-term or critical applications, bolt-type shackles use a bolt, nut, and cotter pin for added safety and vibration resistance.
