Core Product: A Comprehensive Overview of the YOKE Shackle Series The YOKE shackle is distinguished by its core attributes of high strength, fatigue resistance, and ease of operation. It offers a wide range of specifications and models, enabling precise alignment with diverse lifting requirements. Whether for standard on‑land lifting applications or demanding offshore operations, it delivers a stable and reliable connection solution.

 

I. Type D Shackle

 

Core positioning: A universal lifting shackle, compatible with most standard lifting applications.

• Material and Craftsmanship: It is forged from G80‑grade alloy steel, offering excellent tensile strength. Precision machining ensures a compact structure with uniform stress distribution, effectively preventing localized stress concentrations.

• Specifications: With a load capacity ranging from 0.5 to 55 tons, it covers a wide array of standard lifting requirements and accommodates operations across various tonnage levels.

• Surface treatment: With hot-dip galvanizing or phosphating treatment, it exhibits outstanding corrosion resistance, making it suitable for harsh environments such as humid and outdoor conditions and extending the product’s service life.

• Product Advantages: Compliant with the international EN 818‑4 standard, each shackle is marked with its size, working load limit, and batch number, facilitating quality traceability and compliance verification. Equipped with a bolt pin for easy installation and removal, it is compatible with wire ropes, slings, and various other lifting accessories, making it widely used in construction, logistics and warehousing, and material handling applications.

 

II. Wide-body Bow-Shaped Shackle (Omega-Shaped)

 

Core positioning: Specifically designed for heavy‑duty lifting, compatible with large‑tonnage operations and complex working conditions.

• Material and Craftsmanship: It is forged from high-strength alloy steel or carbon steel, with some models manufactured using a closed-die forging process. The overall structure is robust, offering excellent impact resistance and capable of withstanding extreme loads.

• Specifications: The load capacity ranges from 400 to 1,550 tons, with popular series such as 8-808, 8-837, and 8-838 offering working load limits from 0.3 to 55 tons, thereby meeting the full spectrum of applications—from light‑duty to heavy‑duty operations.

• Surface treatment: Some models feature Dacromet coating, delivering outstanding salt-spray‑resistance performance, with superior corrosion and wear resistance, making them well suited for humid, high‑salinity environments such as offshore and port settings.

• Product Advantages: Certified to DNV offshore standards and ABS type approval, it meets the relevant requirements of Federal Technical Specification RR-C-271D. Its built-in nut-and-pin design ensures secure locking, preventing accidental disengagement during lifting operations. With 100% magnetic particle inspection for crack detection, it guarantees the absence of hidden defects, and has undergone 20,000 fatigue cycles at 1.5 times the ultimate working load, achieving a safety factor of 4:1 to 6:1. It is suitable for applications such as port container handling, heavy‑equipment transport, and offshore platform operations.

 

III. Other Specialized Shackles

Leveraging its robust R&D capabilities, YOKE has launched a range of specialized shackles tailored to meet the unique demands of specific industries:

• Explosion-proof shackle: Certified to German DGUV explosion‑proof standards, suitable for use in flammable and explosive environments, such as oil drilling rigs and lifting operations in chemical industrial parks.

• Customized shackles: Available in various sizes and load capacities to meet specific customer requirements, catering to specialized lifting applications such as wind turbine tower sections and aircraft engine hoisting.

 

Core Product Advantages: Four Key Dimensions to Ensure Lifting Safety

 

Rigorous quality control, peace of mind.

All YOKE shackles undergo rigorous multi‑stage testing, including spectral analysis, magnetic particle inspection, eddy current testing, ultimate tensile load testing, and dynamic fatigue resistance testing, to eliminate defects such as cracks, overheating, and deformation, ensuring that every product meets international safety standards. Each product is clearly marked with specifications, rated loads, and batch information, enabling full‑lifecycle quality traceability and providing greater confidence in lifting operations.

 

High-quality materials, built to last.

The core components are forged from high-purity alloy steel or carbon steel, offering high tensile strength and excellent toughness, and can withstand extreme temperatures (-40°C to 400°C) as well as demanding operating conditions. The surface anti-corrosion treatment has been upgraded, with multiple options including hot-dip galvanizing and Dacromet, significantly enhancing corrosion resistance. As a result, the service life exceeds twice that of standard shackles, reducing long-term operating costs.

 

Innovative design, convenient and efficient.

The optimized structural design ensures more uniform load distribution, preventing sling entanglement and localized wear. The bolt pin features a quick‑lock mechanism, enabling one‑hand installation and removal to boost lifting efficiency. Certain models offer multi‑angle load‑adjustment capabilities, making them well suited for confined spaces and complex lifting angles, and allowing flexible adaptation to a wide range of operational requirements.

 

Internationally certified, globally recognized.

It has fully obtained 12 internationally recognized certifications, including DNV, ABS, SGS, CSA, and CNLA, and complies with international standards such as EN and ASME. This ensures compliance with the regulatory requirements of diverse regions and industries worldwide, making it widely applicable in industrial lifting applications across the globe. Its quality has earned high recognition from customers both domestically and internationally.
