Bow Shackle 4.7T

These large 4.7-tonne shackles are best suited to electric winch recovery situations.High visibility.

• Max capacity 4,700kg
• Size:  19mm pin 4.7T
• W.L.L. compliant with AS/NZS 2741.2002 load requirements.

A shackle's breaking point is six times the WLL (working load limit) when compliant with the standard.

TIP:  To avoid seizing the screw pin, its always a good idea to back off about 1/2 to 1 turn after fully hand tightening. Shackle pins can seize due to the force exerted during recovery operations.

BEFORE USE:  Inspect shackles before and after use for any damage. If pins are hard to turn or the shackle has been overstressed, it should be immediately replaced.

CAUTION:  Shackles can become a lethal missile if something should break or fail during a recovery. Ensure that all spectators are well clear and all recovery lines have a dampening blanket on them. Never load a shackle across its width because the load will be imposed on the threads. The force must be at right angles to the pin.
