Shackle-Lok

January 12, 2012

Jergens Inc. announces the addition of Shackle-Lok, a shackle-style hoist ring. The Shackle-Lok combines the strength and safety of a hoist ring with the versatility of a shackle.

Available in a wide variety of inch and metric sizes, the Shackle-Lok has internal ball bearings within a tamper-resistant design that provides smooth 180-degree pivot and 360-degree swivel action under load. Shackle-Lok is for lifting situations where conventional swivel or stationary hardware may be impractical to use. With a unique, 3-piece design, Shackle-Lok is ideal for use in low- clearance OEM applications, general rigging applications, and permanent mounting on dies, molds, fixtures, and other heavy equipment.

Easy-to-remove anchor shackles are interchangeable, and the bolt can accommodate a wide variety of alternate styles. Magnetic particle inspected Shackle-Lok is CE-certified and conforms to ASME B30.26 and RR-C-271F standards. Designed to work with numerous thread sizes, Jergens can manufacture any straight thread size, pitch, or length to meet specific lifting application requirements.

Shackle-Lok Shackle-Style Hoist Rings can be equipped with Lift ID, Jergens' exclusive automated inspection and compliance system.
