D Shackle 4.7T

Shackles are an essential recovery item and you can never have too many of them. They are most commonly used to attach recovery straps, tree trunk protectors, winch extension straps & snatch blocks. The larger 4.7 tonne shackles are best suited to electric winch recovery situations.

• High visibility.
• Max capacity 4700kg
• Size:  19mm pin 4.7T
• W.L.L. compliant with AS/NZS 2741.2002 load requirements.

A shackle's break 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.
