Check out our line of Crosby and Import steel shackles, hooks, and blocks. Use these when you don't want to drag your soft shackle through the mud and stubble. We only recommend these for use with static and low stretch ropes. As a safety precaution, never use steel connection devices with kinetic or high stretch ropes.
When the job calls for a solid connection point, heavy-duty steel shackles offer a practical option for compatible rigging and low-stretch pulling setups. Their rigid construction works well in applications where crews need durable hardware that can handle regular contact with rough working surfaces.
The right steel shackles should match the rope, attachment point, and forces expected during use. Check the working load limit and inspect the hardware for wear or damage before putting it into service. For lifting applications, heavy-duty lifting shackles must meet the specific lift requirements rather than relying solely on size.
