Shackles are one of the commonly used lifting devices in lifting operations. Shackles play a connecting role and are usually used in conjunction with lifting belts, wire ropes, and other tools. What are the common damage phenomena of shackles that can also cause wear and tear during long-term use?
1. Deformation
If the shackle we are using appears deformed, it may pose a danger of falling during heavy lifting, so it is recommended not to use it.
2. The shaft pin cannot rotate
If the shaft pin cannot rotate during the lifting process, it will affect the progress of the work.
3. There are cracks on the shackle
If there are cracks on the shackle, it indicates that the shackle has been scrapped. If such a shackle is used, it may break at any time during lifting, causing the lifted object to crash or injure people.
After the shackle is damaged, it should be immediately stopped from use and replaced with a new shackle to ensure the safe completion of the lifting operation.
