Piling shackle have a much longer shank than standard dee shackle.
These long d piling shackles are commonly utilised on construction sites where piling is needed to stabilize ground levels.
Long d shackle can anchor to a steel piling sheet some distance down from the top. But a standard shackle is not long enough. For instance, a standard 1 tonne dee shackle the inside length is around 76mm, but a piling shackle this measurement is 152mm long, as you can see there is quite a significant difference.
Long dee shackles with ‘A’ shaped screw pin and are manufactured from high tensile steel grade 4 with self-color finish as standard.
Hot dipped galvanized or zinc plated is also available. These extra coating provides an amount of protection, resistant corrosion and abrasion over time.
