European type dee shackle

European Type Dee Shackle is a D-type shackle that complies with European standards. It consists of a D-shaped ring body, a pin shaft and an anti-loosening device. It is mainly used in lifting, hoisting and rigging connection scenarios. The materials include carbon steel (hot-dip galvanized), 304 stainless steel, and 316 stainless steel. The carbon steel model is suitable for dry industrial environments, 304 stainless steel is suitable for outdoor humid scenes, and 316 stainless steel is for highly corrosive environments such as marine and chemical industries. The specifications are divided according to the rated working load (0.5-100 tons), the safety factor is ≥4.5, and the D-shaped ring design ensures stable vertical force. It is widely used in industrial fields that follow European standards in Europe and the world, such as construction, shipping, logistics, etc., to efficiently connect wire ropes, lifting rings and other components.

Product Details

European Type Dee Shackle Features

Various anti-loosening methods, suitable for complex environments: anti-loosening methods for pins include nuts + split pins, spring collars, thread glue curing, etc., among which the "nut + split pin" combination has a failure probability of anti-loosening of ≤0.1% in a vibration environment (such as wind power equipment hoisting); some models of pins have hexagonal heads, which are convenient for quick disassembly with wrenches to improve work efficiency.
Material is corrosion-resistant, detailed protective parts: Carbon steel hot-dip galvanized layer thickness ≥90μm, neutral salt spray resistance test ≥1000 hours; 316 stainless steel PREN (pitting resistance equivalent) ≥45, corrosion rate in seawater environment ≤0.01mm/year; ring edge rounded (radius ≥3mm) to avoid wear on ropes or slings.
Complete specifications and wide compatibility: covering micro (0.5 tons) to super heavy (100 tons), the D-ring width is 5%-10% narrower than the American shackle, but wider than the Japanese type, balancing the space adaptation and carrying capacity, and is compatible with European lifting rings (such as EN 1677), wire rope clamps and other standard parts.

European Type Dee Shackle Applications

Heavy Industry and Infrastructure: Large bridge steel structure hoisting (such as 50-ton steel box girders), suitable for 100-ton European D-type shackles, the integral forged ring body bears high-strength loads; wind farm wind turbine tower hoisting, 316 stainless steel model to cope with outdoor high humidity environment, anti-loosening design to resist wind turbine vibration.
Ship and Marine Engineering: Container crane sling connection in European ports, carbon steel hot-dip galvanized model with high-strength steel wire rope, quickly complete 20-foot/40-foot container loading and unloading; deep-sea drilling platform anchoring system, 316 stainless steel model connects anchor chain and platform, resistant to long-term seawater corrosion.
Architecture and Curtain Wall: European style glass curtain wall suspension system, 304 stainless steel model connects support steel cable and embedded parts, exquisite appearance and corrosion resistance; stadium dome steel structure hoisting, through a combination of multiple specifications of shackles to achieve complex angle connection, suitable for EN standard slings.
Logistics and special transport: heavy cargo fixation of European standard semi-trailers (such as construction machinery transportation), using 20-30 ton shackles with chains, and anti-loosening pins to ensure that they do not loosen during long-distance transportation; container lifting for air cargo, miniature European shackles (1-5 tons) are suitable for the limited space in the cabin.

FAQ

Q1: Can EN 13889 and JIS B 2801 standard shackles be mixed?

A: It is not recommended to mix them directly. Under the same working load, the European shackle pin has a larger diameter (such as 10-ton European pin M27, Japanese M24), and the mismatch of the connection hole size may cause loosening; if mixed, it is necessary to transition through an adapter (such as a reducer ring) and ensure that the system safety factor is ≥5.
Q3: Can the pin thread be repaired by tapping after damage?

A: Repair is prohibited. Thread damage will cause the connection strength to drop by more than 40%, and the thread accuracy cannot be guaranteed after tapping, and it may break when subjected to force. The pin should be replaced as a whole (must be the same material and specification as the ring body), and the new pin must be accompanied by a material certificate (such as EN 10083-3 for carbon steel and EN 10088-3 for stainless steel).
Q3: Can 304 stainless steel be used in chemical workshops (containing chlorine)?

A: No. Chlorine environment will cause stress corrosion cracking of 304 stainless steel, and it is necessary to replace it with 316L stainless steel (low carbon content ≤0.03%), or use Hastelloy alloy (extreme corrosion scenario), and shorten the inspection cycle to once a month.
Q3: How to determine whether the shackle needs to be scrapped?

A: It must be scrapped in the following cases: cracks appear in any part of the ring body or pin shaft (visible by magnetic particle inspection); permanent deformation of the ring body ≥10% (such as bending of the original straight section); bending of the pin shaft ≥0.5mm/m; thread slippage or anti-loosening device failure; corrosion depth ≥10% of the original wall thickness (such as 10mm wall thickness corrosion of more than 1mm).
Q3: Is it necessary to apply grease during installation?

A: It is recommended to apply. Apply lithium-based grease (temperature resistant - 20~120℃) between the carbon steel pin and the ring body to reduce thread wear; apply polytetrafluoroethylene grease to the stainless steel pin (avoid using grease containing metal components to prevent electrochemical corrosion); remove excess grease after installation to avoid dust absorption.
