The SecureFix Direct 10mm Clevis Shackle is a professional-grade rigging component designed for heavy-duty lifting and pulling operations. It is best suited for construction, industrial, and rigging professionals who require a reliable way to connect chains or adjust chain lengths safely. While its robust Grade 80 steel construction offers exceptional strength and durability, users must ensure they adhere strictly to the rated Safe Working Load (SWL) to prevent equipment failure or safety hazards.

The 10mm SecureFix Direct Clevis Shackle has a rated Safe Working Load of 3.15 Tonnes.
Yes, this is a Grade 80 component intended for professional lifting, provided it is used within its rated capacity and by trained personnel.
The test certificate is supplied to you via email upon purchase.
While the shackle may physically fit, always ensure the chain grade is compatible with the shackle's Grade 80 rating to maintain the safety factor of the entire rigging assembly.
Exceeding the SWL can cause permanent deformation or catastrophic failure of the shackle, leading to serious injury or damage.
Inspect the threads for debris or corrosion; clean with a wire brush and apply a light coating of machine oil.
Ensure the shackle has not been subject to side-loading, which can deform the pin holes. If deformation is present, decommission the shackle.
Do not operate the shackle. Replace the retaining pin with an identical certified part before the next use.
To ensure safety, verify that the chain size matches the 10mm specification of the shackle before installation. When setting up, ensure the clevis pin is fully inserted and that the safety bolt is tightened securely before applying any load. The retaining pin should be inspected after every use to ensure it is fully engaged.
Care involves keeping the shackle clean of debris and corrosive materials. Periodically inspect the threads of the safety bolt and the body of the shackle for signs of cracks, excessive wear, or deformation. If the shackle shows signs of bending or thread damage, it should be removed from service immediately. Store in a dry environment to prevent surface corrosion and keep the load-rating markings legible.
