When it comes to critical lifting and rigging applications, you need equipment that meets the highest standards. US Cargo Control proudly offers a professional selection of Van Beest shackles—also known globally under the Green Pin® brand. These shackles are trusted by professionals across trucking, construction, marine, oil & gas, and industrial rigging for their unmatched strength, durability, and quality certifications.

Whether you’re lifting heavy equipment, securing loads on a flatbed, or setting rigging anchors on a job site, Van Beest hardware is engineered to deliver consistent, reliable performance.

What Are Van Beest Shackles?

Van Beest shackles, branded under the recognizable Green Pin® name, are high-performance, forged steel connectors used in lifting and rigging systems. Commonly found in heavy-duty applications, these shackles connect slings, chains, or rope to anchor points or lifting devices like cranes and hoists.

Engineered to meet or exceed key safety standards such as EN 13889 and DNV 2.7-1, Green Pin shackles are made from high-tensile steel, with options including galvanized, painted, or stainless finishes for long-lasting corrosion resistance.

Types of Shackles and Rigging Hardware We Offer

At US Cargo Control, we stock a professional-grade selection of Van Beest Green Pin® rigging hardware built for tough jobs and tight safety tolerances. Whether you're lifting, anchoring, or tensioning loads, our assortment has the gear you need:

• Screw Pin Anchor Shackles – Quick to install and ideal for temporary or frequently adjusted connections in load securement and general rigging applications.
• Bolt Type Shackles – Designed for permanent or long-term rigging. These offer superior safety with a cotter pin and nut, making them perfect for overhead lifting or when vibration is a concern.
• Bow Shackles (Anchor Shackles) – Allow for multi-directional loading and are a go-to in lifting applications where side loads may be present.
• Chain Shackles (D-Shackles) – Best suited for straight-line, inline loading where space is limited and precision is key.
• Van Beest Turnbuckles – Used to adjust tension and length in rigging systems, our Green Pin® turnbuckles are available in jaw & jaw, hook & hook, and eye configurations. Made from galvanized steel and compliant with EN 12195-3 standards, they deliver reliable performance for tie-downs, lifting slings, and wire rope tensioning.

All products are clearly marked with their Working Load Limit (WLL) and made from high-tensile forged steel with corrosion-resistant finishes for maximum performance in the field.
