Our company offers a wide range of shackle products designed to meet various applications and challenges. This guide aims to navigate you through the essentials of shackles, ensuring you make an informed decision for your specific needs.

This article discusses the practicality of stainless steel wire rope clips, while also providing a guide to help readers make informed choices among the plethora of products available.

The screw is a short and sharp-pointed metal tip having helical threads running around its long shaft with a slotted head, which are used to join objects together by twisting them. Screws are types of fasteners, which are used to fasten materials using tools such as hammers or screwdrivers.

Wire rope clips can be used to form a load bearing eye at the end of a cable or wire rope, or to connect two cables together with a lap splice. Wire rope clips are popular because they can be installed in the field and provide 80-90% efficiency of the rope breaking strength, depending on the diameter of the wire rope.

Ratchet straps are cargo tie-down straps made of polyester webbing. They are run through a buckle that lets you loosen and tighten the strap, so you can lengthen the strap until you can pull it across your entire load, then tighten the strap until there’s enough tension to secure the load. Occasionally, we are asked how to use ratchet straps and what straps are for.

Thimbles are used to protect the eyes of cable and rope slings from abrasion by providing a solid steel barrier between the fragile cable strands and the other rigging fitting used in the connection. Thimbles also prevent eye deformation or kinking by giving structure to the cable eye. After repeated high load use, wear and kinking can reduce the strength of the cable and can lead to premature failure.

Stainless Steel Wire rope is a type of metal wire twisted into a helix patterns to form an industrial strength rope. Larger width ropes using the laid rope pattern is called cable laid rope.

Rigging hardware is the equipment used to secure, lift, and suspend loads. Rigging itself is the chains, ropes, and cables that tie items down or lift them. If you're a sailor, you'll be familiar with the rigging used to set and furl sails, as well as the associated hardware, which includes blocks, shackles, and winches. In a lifting context, rigging has a similar role, except it is often equipment, machines, and construction materials being lifted.

Self-locking hooksSelf-locking hooks, also commonly known as positive locking hooks or safety hooks, are used in all applications, from industrial manufacturing to offshore oil and gas. There are many clear benefits that end-users have found in switching from sling or standard hooks to self-locking hooks – all contributing to enhanced safety in their lifting operations.
