2.5 Shackles
CAUTION
Damage Hazard: If tools are used together (e.g. beams with
shackles, RUD-eye bolts or RUD-swivel lugs and ropes, etc.), it is
always the weakest part which has the maximum lifting capacity.
Note: For more data, refer to 9403 − 5 Tool List
Use only shackles that have the standards given in American Standard RR − C − 271A.
Where shackles are used, the standards are calculated from American Standard
RR − C − 271A, which includes the safety factor.
Usually, the permitted lifting capacity of the shackles is specified for one item.
