Troubleshooting
Shackle pin is difficult to screw in.
Ensure the threads on both the pin and the shackle body are clean and free from dirt or debris. Lightly lubricate the threads if necessary.
Visible rust or corrosion on the shackle body.
The hot-dipped galvanised finish provides corrosion resistance. Minor surface rust can often be cleaned off. If corrosion is deep or compromises the material, the shackle should be removed from service.
Shackle appears deformed or damaged.
Immediately cease use and remove the shackle from service. Deformation indicates the load limit has been exceeded or the material has been compromised, posing a significant safety risk.
Pin does not feel secure when fully tightened.
Inspect the threads for damage. If threads are intact, ensure the pin is the correct one for the shackle and is being tightened correctly. If the issue persists, the shackle may need replacement.

Clean the shackle with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Store in a dry environment when not in use to further prevent corrosion. If the painted pin shows signs of wear, ensure the threads remain clean and lubricated. Test certificates are available upon request via email.
