Red Rooster Lifting offers two varieties of load shackles; a standard model and a marine load shackle with both models featuring bodies made of galvanised alloy steel.

About the RR-S Load Shackle

This model boasts load capacities of 3.25te upwards and the shackle pin is retained in the shackle body by means of a nut and split pin, an anti-rotation device is incorporated in the pin to ensure correct alignment.

The pin itself is through bored and strain gauges are internally resin bonded at both shear planes. A close fitting tapered steel bobbin is included to ensure that the load is applied through the midline of the shackle pin.

FAQs

The term “side load” typically refers to a force that is applied perpendicular to the intended direction of force measurement in a load cell or load shackle. In general, load cells and load shackles are designed to measure forces along a specific axis, and applying side loads can introduce errors or inaccuracies in the readings.

However, some load cells and load shackles are engineered to handle limited side loads. Load cells with an integrated shackle, often known as load shackles or load pins, may have a specified tolerance for side loads mentioned in their technical specifications. It’s crucial to adhere to the manufacturer’s guidelines and limitations regarding side loads to prevent damage and ensure accurate measurements.
