BS Self Colour Large Bow Shackle

The BS Self Colour Large Bow Shackle is a heavy-duty lifting and rigging connector designed for demanding industrial applications. Manufactured from high tensile steel, with both body and pin engineered for strength and durability, this shackle provides reliable performance in lifting, towing, and load-securing operations.

Produced generally in accordance with BS 3032 Table 2 (1958), the large bow profile allows for greater flexibility when connecting multiple slings or attachments, making it ideal for complex rigging configurations. The shackle is designed with a 5:1 safety factor, where the Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) equals five times the Working Load Limit (WLL), offering a high level of operational safety.

Finished in self colour, the shackle allows for easy visual inspection, helping users quickly identify wear, damage, or deformation during routine checks. Each shackle is supplied with relevant certification, supporting compliance with lifting regulations and on-site safety requirements.

Suitable for use across construction, engineering, marine, and general lifting environments, this large bow shackle is a dependable choice where strength, compliance, and durability are essential.
