Description
There are two types of dee shackles, the bolt type and the screw pin type. The straight shackle is used when it does not need to be removed from the fixing point and when the shackle undergoes a lot of vibration in its use, thus avoiding the bolt or screw pin from loosening due to vibration.
Guidelines for correct use of the Dee shackle:
- Always check, before using it, if the markings on the shackle and the pin are legible and in accordance with the Test Certificate.
- Also, check if the products are not deformed or worn. If they do not have corrosion, cuts, cracks, or notches. In case any of these problems exist, do not use the shackle.
- Never attempt, under any circumstance, to reshape or repair your shackle by welding, bending or heating.
