2.5 Shackles
Only those shackles that are in accordance with American Standard RR−C−271A, or
that have the same or are more than these values must be used. This includes the
safety factor.
All calculations for components and tools where shackles are used are related to the
given standards.
Usually, the permitted load on the shackles is specified for one strand.
Note: When tools are combined (e.g. beams with shackles, RUD eye bolts or
RUD swivel lugs and ropes, etc.), the WLL is given for the weakest part
(refer to the data in 9403−5 Tools List).
General Guidelines: Wire Rope Slings, Span-sets, Eye Bolts, etc.
