Load Shackles

Scotload’s innovative load shackles are ideal for lifting and weighing applications where there is limited headroom.

We provide load shackles that are manufactured from GN or Van Beest shackles as standard, but other manufacturers are available on request. We provide a fully stainless steel construction (excluding bow) up to 85 tonnes as standard, and fully stainless steel construction for 120 tonnes and above upon request.

We have a large range of shackles available in stock up to 1000 tonnes for purchase or hire, and ready for immediate dispatch. Larger capacities are available on request and all of our load shackles are supplied with full calibration and proof load certificates.

AVAILABLE OPTIONS

Available options:

SUBSEA LOAD SHACKLE

Subsea load shackle:

Scotload’s subsea load shackles are available as a ‘D’ or ‘Bow’ shackle body with load centralising bobbins, plug and socket extensions, displays and signal conditioning units with a robust carry case.

Specially designed for use in underwater applications, our load shackles are supplied with subcon connectors and deep sea protection, so they are unaffected by the outside water pressure whilst remaining sensitive in the intended load measuring direction.
