Description

The SLC bow type wired load shackle series are specially designed for lifting and weighing applications. They are proof loaded to 150% of the normal rated load and are available from 1 tonne up to 400 tonnes with other ranges available on request, just speak to our technical team. The basic shackle uses the Crosby G2130 (1 to 25te), G2140 (40 to 85te) and GN Rope H10S (120te) and GN Rope H10 (150 to 1000te).

The SLC bow type wired load shackles are constructed from high tensile carbon steel and come with an IP67 protection rating for submersion up to 1 metre in water, making them ideal for both rugged and harsh environments. The whole unit is internally gauged and the integral cable is enclosed in an armoured rubber hydraulic hose to further ensure its tough environmental protection.

To provide further optimum performance, an optional rotating bobbin can be supplied to centralise the load and reduce any point-load effects during load monitoring.

For a complete load monitoring system, the SLC bow type wired load shackle can be supplied with our wide range of instrumentation along with a UKAS traceable calibration certificate included as standard.  If you need a wireless load shackle try our SLC24 wireless load shackle series.
