European type Large Dee Shackle

No.701006

The H-Lift European Type Large Dee Shackle is an elongated, D-shaped connecting link designed to provide extra internal clearance for secure, straight-line rigging and lifting applications.

  • Features an enlarged "D" profile with an extended inner length, offering increased space to accommodate thicker ropes, wider straps, or larger hardware assemblies.
  • Constructed from heavy-duty forged steel to ensure superior strength and high load-bearing capacity in rigorous industrial environments.
  • Designed strictly for straight-line (in-line) tension; its D-shape is optimized for direct pulls where side-loading is not required.
  • Equipped with a threaded screw pin for quick, secure attachment and easy removal during temporary or semi-permanent rigging operations.
  • Technical Data

  • Safe Use of Shackles

The European Type Large Dee Shackle (Chain Shackle) is engineered for applications demanding extra internal body clearance. Featuring a significantly deeper profile than standard Dee shackles, it effortlessly accommodates thicker slings and bulky hardware. Its straight-sided geometry ensures maximum strength for in-line pulling and lifting operations.

European type Large Dee Shackle galvanized carbon steel
⚠️ SAFETY WARNING: NO SIDE LOADING.
Dee shackles are strictly designed for straight, in-line tensioning. Loading from an angle can cause the shackle body to twist or fail. For multi-directional loads or angled pulls, always use a Bow Shackle.
📐 Extended "Large Dee" Clearance

Features a significantly deeper and longer body. This "Large" profile provides the essential internal space to comfortably accommodate multiple wire rope eyes or heavy-duty thimbles.

🏗️ Optimized In-Line Strength

The straight-sided "D" shape is engineered for maximum efficiency during straight pulls. It is the industry preferred choice for single-leg slings and direct chain connections.

⚙️ Balanced "Same-Size" Design

Designed with a pin diameter that matches the body diameter. This balanced configuration ensures reliable and consistent load distribution across the entire shackle under tension.

🛡️ Durable & Protected

Forged from high-quality carbon steel with a Safety Factor of 4:1. Protected by a bright electro-galvanized finish for reliable rust resistance in outdoor and marine use.

Q: When should I choose a Dee shackle over a Bow shackle? A: Choose a Dee shackle strictly for straight, in-line tensioning. Due to its narrow, parallel legs, it provides superior stability in a direct pull. However, if your load involves multi-leg slings or tension applied at an angle, you must use a Bow shackle to handle the resulting side-loading forces safely.
Q: What does the "Large" in "Large Dee" mean?A: A Large Dee shackle features a significantly deeper internal body (Length 'C' in diagram) compared to a standard Dee shackle. This extra length provides the necessary clearance to connect bulky components, multiple lines, or large wire rope thimbles without overcrowding the pin.

Safety Guidelines

Always

  • Store and handle shackles correctly.
  • Inspect shackles before use and before placing into storage.
  • Select the correct pattern of shackle (Dee/Bow) and pin type for the application.
  • Fully tighten the pin before lifting.
  • Ensure the load acts through the centre line of the shackle.
  • Allow for the full resultant imposed load (consider angles).

Never

  • Use shackles with bent pins or deformed bodies.
  • Force, hammer, or wedge shackles into position.
  • Eccentrically load shackles (side loading).
  • Replace the pin with a standard bolt.
  • Fit pins in contact with moving parts which may unscrew them.
  • Shock load shackles.

Selection & Operation Guide

Selecting the Correct Shackle

Type: Use Anchor (Bow) shackles for multi-leg systems or where side loading may occur. Use Chain (Dee) shackles for straight-line pulls.

Pin Type:
Screw Pin: Suitable for general, non-permanent purposes.
Bolt Type (Safety Pin): Essential for long-term installations or where the pin may rotate under load.

⚠️ CAUTION: Loading on the Pin BS and ISO Standard shackles are rated for the pin to accept a central point load. Unless stated otherwise, assume the jaw must be fully filled and the load evenly distributed across the full pin width.

Using Shackles Safely

Avoid Side Loading: Position the shackle so the body takes the load along its center line. Use spacers if necessary to center the load on the pin.

Tightening: Tighten screw pins by hand, then lock with a small bar. Do not overtighten to the point of deforming the body. For bolt types, ensure the split cotter pin is fitted.

Choke Hitches: Place the pin through the eye of the sling. Never place the pin in contact with the "bight" of the choke or moving parts, as friction can unscrew the pin.

Maintenance & Storage

Storage: Store in a clean, dry place protected from corrosion. Never modify or galvanize a shackle without supplier approval.

Inspection: Check regularly for: distorted/stretched bodies, bent pins, damaged threads, nicks, gouges, or corrosion. illegible markings. If any defect is found, refer to a Competent Person.
