What should be paid attention to when using shackles?
(1) Before using the shackles, carefully check their bearing capacity, appearance for deformation or damage, and whether the connection parts are intact to prevent problems.
(2) The force direction of the shackles should be correct to prevent them from being subjected to lateral force.
(3) When connecting ropes or lifting rings, one should be put on the cross pin and the other on the curved ring. They should not be put on the two straight sections of the shackles separately.
(4) After the lifting operation is completed, it should be removed in time, and the cross pin should be inserted into the curved ring and the nut should be tightened. It is strictly forbidden to throw the shackles from a height to prevent them from deformation and internal crack damage. Ensure that they are intact.
(5) The threaded parts of the shackles should be lubricated regularly to ensure good lubrication and rust prevention.
(6) After use, they should be stored in a dry place and padded with wooden boards for safekeeping.
(7) Shackles with non-threaded cross pins are not allowed to be used. When they must be used, safe and reliable measures should be taken to prevent the cross pins from slipping out and causing accidents.
