Galvanized Shackles are forged from high-quality high-strength steel and undergo overall heat treatment, offering high strength, excellent toughness, strong impact resistance, and reliable deformation resistance.
The surface is treated with hot-dip galvanizing or electro-galvanizing, providing excellent rust prevention, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and long service life. With stable load-bearing performance, high safety factor, easy installation and removal, and a wide range of specifications, galvanizeD Shackles are commonly used as connecting rigging hardware for lifting, ship securing, and engineering pulling applications.
They are widely applied in ports, mining, construction machinery, logistics transportation, outdoor lifting, and other heavy-duty working environments.


At Henan Suxiang Steel Cable Co., Ltd., we focus on the research, development, manufacturing, and supply of high-performance Steel Wire and cable products. Based on years of experience in steel material processing and surface protection technology, we provide reliable connection and lifting solutions for global industrial customers.
Our GalvanizeD Shackle is designed for customers who require safe, durable, and corrosion-resistant lifting components. Manufactured from high-quality forged steel and treated with advanced galvanizing technology, our shackles deliver excellent strength, toughness, and long-term performance in demanding working environments.
A shackle is a small but critical component in lifting and rigging systems. Although its structure looks simple, its performance directly affects the safety and stability of the entire connection system. Our Heavy Duty Galvanized Shackle is widely used with wire ropes, chains, slings, and other rigging accessories in ports, construction sites, mining operations, transportation systems, and industrial equipment.
A Galvanized Shackle is a U-shaped or bow-shaped connecting device mainly used for linking lifting and securing components. It normally consists of a forged steel body and a removable pin, allowing quick installation, removal, and adjustment during operation.
Compared with ordinary steel shackles, galvanized shackles have an additional zinc protective layer on the surface. This zinc coating helps prevent rust, oxidation, and corrosion caused by moisture, rain, salt spray, and outdoor exposure.
We manufacture galvanized shackles using high-strength steel materials and controlled heat treatment processes. The finished products combine high tensile strength with good impact resistance, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications where safety and reliability are important.
Our products are available in different sizes, load capacities, and structural designs to meet different project requirements. Whether customers need a Hot Dip Galvanized Shackle for marine environments or a standard galvanized rigging shackle for industrial lifting, we can provide suitable solutions.
The working principle of a galvanized shackle is based on mechanical connection and load distribution. During lifting or pulling operations, the shackle connects different components together and transfers the applied force safely through its forged steel body.
For example, when a crane lifts a heavy load, the wire rope or lifting sling creates tension. The shackle receives this force through the pin and body structure, then distributes the load evenly to reduce stress concentration.
The pin design allows operators to connect and disconnect equipment efficiently. Depending on the application, shackles may use screw pins, bolt-type pins, or safety pins to improve convenience and operational security.
The galvanizing layer does not change the basic load-bearing structure of the shackle. Instead, it provides additional environmental protection. This is especially important for outdoor applications where equipment is exposed to humidity, chemicals, coastal air, or changing weather conditions.
| Performance Item | Standard Steel Shackle | Galvanized Shackle |
|---|---|---|
| Surface Protection | No protective coating or basic coating | Zinc protective layer against corrosion |
| Outdoor Durability | More sensitive to moisture and oxidation | Better resistance in outdoor environments |
| Maintenance Requirement | Requires more frequent inspection and protection | Lower maintenance demand |
| Main Applications | Indoor lifting and temporary use | Outdoor lifting, marine, construction, transportation |

Strength is the first requirement for lifting components. Our Forged Steel Shackle is produced from carefully selected steel materials and formed through forging processes.
Forging improves the internal structure of steel by reducing material defects and increasing mechanical strength. Compared with simple casting methods, forged shackles usually provide better toughness and impact resistance under heavy loads.
Through controlled heat treatment, we improve the balance between hardness and flexibility. This allows our shackles to maintain stable performance during repeated loading and unloading operations.

Corrosion is one of the biggest challenges for outdoor lifting equipment. Moisture, salt spray, and industrial environments can gradually damage unprotected steel products.
Our Hot Dip Galvanized Shackle uses zinc coating technology to create a protective barrier between the steel surface and the external environment.
The galvanized layer provides sacrificial protection. Even if minor surface scratches occur, zinc can continue protecting the steel underneath.
This feature makes galvanized shackles especially suitable for:
Marine lifting operations
Port equipment connection
Outdoor construction projects
Mining and quarry environments
Transportation and towing systems
Safety is always our priority when developing steel connection products. Each galvanized shackle is designed according to load requirements and inspected before delivery.
The combination of high-strength steel, accurate processing, and reliable surface treatment helps ensure stable performance during lifting and pulling operations.
| Typical Shackle Size | Approximate Working Load Limit | Common Application |
|---|---|---|
| 1/4 inch | 0.5 ton – 0.75 ton | Small lifting and securing tasks |
| 1/2 inch | 1.5 ton – 2 ton | General industrial rigging |
| 1 inch | 8 ton – 9.5 ton | Heavy equipment lifting |

At Henan Suxiang Steel Cable Co., Ltd., we believe that product quality starts from every manufacturing step. Our galvanized shackles are produced under strict process control, from raw material selection to final inspection.
The performance of a shackle depends greatly on the quality of steel used during production.
We select suitable high-strength steel materials according to product requirements. Chemical composition, mechanical properties, and material consistency are carefully controlled to ensure stable performance.
Forging is one of the key processes that determines the strength of the shackle.
During forging, steel is shaped under high pressure, improving internal material structure and increasing resistance to heavy loads.
Compared with ordinary manufacturing methods, forged shackles provide better toughness and reliability for lifting applications.
After forging, heat treatment is applied to optimize the mechanical properties of the steel.
This process improves hardness, strength, and toughness, allowing the shackle to maintain stable performance under repeated loading conditions.
The galvanizing process creates a protective zinc coating on the steel surface.
Depending on customer requirements, we can provide different surface treatment options, including hot dip galvanizing and electro galvanizing.
Hot dip galvanizing generally provides a thicker zinc layer and stronger environmental protection, making it suitable for outdoor and marine applications.
Before delivery, every batch undergoes inspection procedures to verify appearance, dimensions, mechanical performance, and surface quality.
