Product Information
Full details
The SecureFix Direct 3.25 Ton Dee Shackle is an essential rigging component designed for industrial lifting, construction, and heavy-duty towing applications. Built for professionals who prioritize safety, it offers a reliable 5:1 safety factor and is engineered to handle linear loads with precision. While its heavy-duty, galvanized construction makes it incredibly durable in harsh environments, its specific D-shaped geometry is intended for in-line pulling rather than side-loading, which must be strictly avoided to ensure operational safety.

FAQs
What is the safety factor of this shackle?
This shackle features a 5:1 safety factor, meaning it is tested to withstand significantly more than its 3.25-tonne safe working load.
Can I use this shackle for side-loading?
No, Dee shackles are designed for in-line loading only. Side-loading can significantly reduce the working load capacity and cause failure.
How do I request a test certificate?
Test certificates for this product are available upon request; please contact the supplier via email with your order details.
Is the pin captive?
This model uses a standard screw pin. While it can be removed completely, it provides a secure attachment when fully threaded.
What are the physical dimensions of the shackle?
The dimensions are 16mm (A), 19mm (B), 50mm (C), 26.5mm (D), and 40mm (E).
Can I use this for overhead lifting?
Yes, because it complies with BS EN 13889, it is suitable for professional lifting applications when used within its rated capacity.
Troubleshooting
Screw pin is difficult to thread or unscrew
Clean the threads with a wire brush to remove debris or grit. If the threads are damaged, the shackle must be taken out of service.
Visible deformation of the shackle body
Deformation indicates the shackle has been overloaded. Discard the unit immediately as it is no longer safe for use.
Rust or corrosion appearing on the pin
Surface rust can sometimes be brushed away, but if the material shows pitting or thinning, the shackle should be replaced.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High corrosion resistance due to hot-dipped galvanization
- Reliable screw pin design for ease of use
- Certified to international safety standards
- Strong drop-forged steel construction
Cons
- Designed primarily for in-line loads; not suitable for heavy side-loading
- Periodic inspection required to ensure threads remain clear of debris
- Weight may be significant for small-scale hobbyist applications
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a long service life, inspect the shackle before every use for signs of deformation, cracks, or excessive thread wear. When installing, ensure the pin is fully engaged with the threads and that the shackle bow is not forced open by the attachment point. Avoid using tools like pliers to overtighten the pin, as hand-tightening is sufficient. Store in a clean, dry location when not in use to maintain the galvanized finish. If the shackle has been subjected to shock loads or has been involved in a failed lift, it should be removed from service immediately and replaced.
