Product Information

Full details

The SecureFix Direct 6.5 Ton Bow Shackle is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts requiring reliable rigging, towing, and heavy-duty lifting hardware. Its primary benefit is a robust 5:1 safety factor combined with high-grade, hot-dipped galvanized steel construction that ensures durability in harsh environments. While this shackle offers exceptional strength, users must ensure that all lifting procedures adhere strictly to the rated 6.5-tonne safe working load to prevent equipment failure.

Troubleshooting

Pin is seized and will not turn

Apply a penetrating oil to the threads and let it soak; tap the pin head lightly to help break up rust or debris.

Shackle body appears deformed

Immediately remove the unit from service. Do not attempt to repair or reshape; permanent deformation indicates the product has been overloaded.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Meets rigorous US and European safety standards
  • Excellent corrosion resistance due to galvanization
  • High-strength drop forged steel body
  • Clear, standardized dimensions for predictable use

Cons

  • Not suitable for applications exceeding 6.5 tonnes
  • Requires regular inspection to maintain safety integrity
  • Screw pin must be properly seated to ensure load security

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum lifespan and safety, inspect the shackle before every use for signs of deformation, cracks, or excessive thread wear. When installing, thread the screw pin fully into the eye until it is seated firmly. Do not use tools to overtighten the pin, as this can make removal difficult after the shackle has been under load. Keep the threads clean and lightly lubricated to prevent corrosion inside the pin assembly. If you require formal documentation for safety audits, please contact the supplier to request your specific test certificate via email.
