Rigging G2150 Drop Forged US Type Dee Shackle with Safety Bolt Pin

G2150 shackles are usually D-type shackles, which have the advantages of high strength, good wear resistance, and high safety. They are widely used in fields such as power, metallurgy, and petroleum. The specific advantages are as follows:

1、Excellent material and high strength: Generally made of alloy steel, some products are made of 45 steel and the horizontal pins are made of 40Cr alloy steel. All forgings undergo heat treatment, which enhances the impact resistance, load-bearing capacity, toughness, and elongation of the product, enabling it to withstand large loads, be less prone to deformation and fracture, and have a long service life.

2、Diverse size specifications: With a wide range of specifications, the load-bearing capacity is usually between 0.5 and 85 tons, which can meet the needs of different lifting and connection scenarios. It is suitable for various working conditions such as lifting small equipment to large heavy components.

3、Reasonable structural design: deep threads, uniform force distribution, not easy to slip during rotation, easy to install and disassemble, simple and convenient operation. At the same time, the horizontal pin is tightly matched with the body, firmly connected, and can ensure that it will not easily loosen during lifting operations, improving the safety of use.

4、Small size and high tensile strength: Compared to some similar types of shackles, the American standard G2150 shackle has a smaller size but higher tensile strength, which can improve the wear resistance of the steel wire rope. Under the same lifting requirements, it is easier to carry and install, providing convenience for operations while reducing wear and tear on steel wire rope and other accessories, and lowering usage costs.

Product Parameters

• Power industry: In power engineering construction, such as the installation of power towers and the laying of power cables, G2150 shackles are used to lift and fix heavy - duty equipment and components. They can be connected with lifting tools such as steel wire ropes and lifting slings to ensure the safe and stable lifting of power equipment.

• Metallurgical industry: In metallurgical plants, when lifting and transporting large - scale metallurgical equipment, such as blast furnaces, converters, and rolling mills, as well as in the process of handling metal ingots and other materials, G2150 shackles play a key role in connection and lifting, which can withstand the heavy load in the metallurgical production process.

• Petrochemical industry: In petrochemical projects, whether it is the construction of refineries, chemical plants, or the installation and maintenance of oil and gas pipelines, G2150 shackles are needed to lift and position various equipment and pipeline components. They can work stably in harsh environments such as high temperature, high pressure, and corrosion, ensuring the smooth progress of petrochemical production.

• Mechanical industry: In mechanical manufacturing plants, when hoisting large - scale machine tools, mechanical parts, and during the assembly of equipment, G2150 shackles are used to connect hoisting tools and workpieces, facilitating the installation and movement of mechanical equipment, and ensuring the accuracy and safety of equipment installation.

• Railway industry: In railway construction, such as the laying of rails, the installation of railway bridges, and the maintenance of railway vehicles, G2150 shackles can be used to lift and transport related components. In addition, in the process of railway freight, they can also be used for the fixing and connection of some special - shaped goods to ensure the safety of transportation.

• Port and shipping industry: In ports, G2150 shackles are widely used in the loading and unloading operations of cranes, and are used to connect lifting equipment and goods, which can improve the efficiency and safety of port loading and unloading. On ships, they are also used for the connection and fixing of some deck equipment and rigging, and play an important role in ship construction, maintenance, and maritime rescue.

• Construction industry: In building construction, whether it is the hoisting of building materials on the construction site, such as steel bars, concrete components, or the installation of high - altitude construction equipment, such as tower cranes and construction elevators, G2150 shackles can provide reliable connection and fixing, ensuring the safety and progress of construction projects.

• Mining industry: In mining operations, when hoisting and transporting ore, mining equipment, and in the construction and maintenance of underground mines, G2150 shackles are essential lifting accessories. They can adapt to the harsh working environment in mines and ensure the normal operation of mining production.

Q1: What is the difference between G2150 shackles and other types (e.g., G209, G210)?

• G2150: D-type shackles, known for high strength, compact size, and suitability for heavy-duty lifting in industries like construction, oil & gas, and maritime.

• G209: Usually anchor shackles (bow-type), with a larger "bow" shape, ideal for connecting multiple rigging components at angles.

• G210: Often chain shackles, designed specifically for use with chains, with a more robust structure to withstand chain-related stresses.

Q2:How to choose the right size of G2150 shackle for my application?

• Ensure the shackle’s WLL exceeds the maximum load in your operation (consider safety factors, typically 4–6 times the working load).

• Match the shackle’s pin diameter and opening size to the connecting hardware (e.g., a 1/2-inch wire rope may require a 1/2-inch or larger shackle).

Q3:What maintenance is required for G2150 shackles?

• Regular inspection: Check for cracks, deformation, excessive wear (especially on the pin and body), or corrosion before each use. Replace if any damage is found.

• Lubrication: Apply grease to the pin threads periodically to prevent seizing and ensure smooth installation/removal.

• Storage: Keep in a dry, clean area to avoid rust. Avoid contact with chemicals that may corrode the metal.

Q4:Can the pin of a G2150 shackle be replaced if damaged?
