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.

This shackle is rated for a safe working load (SWL) of 6.5 tonnes.
Yes, it meets US Federal Specification RR-C-271DIV and BS EN 13889: 2003 + A1: 2008.
Test certificates for this product are available upon request; you can obtain one by contacting the manufacturer via email.
Yes, this shackle is designed for heavy-duty lifting applications, provided it is used within its 6.5-tonne SWL and inspected for safety.
The 5:1 safety factor means the shackle is designed to withstand a breaking load five times higher than its rated safe working load.
Apply a penetrating oil to the threads and let it soak; tap the pin head lightly to help break up rust or debris.
Immediately remove the unit from service. Do not attempt to repair or reshape; permanent deformation indicates the product has been overloaded.
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.
