Chain/D Shackle
The Chain or D-type Shackle is recognized for its slimmer bow, making a “D” shape when held on its side. It’s designed to connect to chain and rated for in-line tension only. When in use, the center of the load should always coincide with the center line of the shackle.Not sure what shackle to choose from E-Rigging’s extensive selection.
