Find Your Size — Select Your Shackle
Product Description — Heavy Duty D Shackle (Dee Shackle)
Our D Shackles (Dee Shackles) are precision-engineered for straight-line loading applications where maximum strength and efficiency are required. The distinctive "D" shape provides optimal load distribution when pulling in a straight line — making these shackles the preferred choice for chain connections, towing bars, and industrial lifting where side loading is not expected.
Manufactured from high-strength steel with a corrosion-resistant coating, each shackle features a distinctive yellow pin for easy identification and operation. The SAE stamped markings confirm compliance with industry standards, while CE Certification provides assurance of safety and quality.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: D shackles are designed for straight-line loading only. Never apply side loads or angular loads to D shackles. Available in sizes from 6mm to 25mm diameter. Never exceed the shackle's rated Working Load Limit (WLL).
