Crosby® S-281 Sling Saver Web Sling Shackles
Crosby® S-281 Sling Saver Web Sling Shackles
Premium alloy shackles engineered for superior performance with synthetic web and round slings.
When you are lifting with synthetic web or round slings, the connection hardware is just as critical as the sling itself. Crosby® S-281 Sling Saver Web Sling Shackles are built for strength, precision, and dependability. Designed specifically for synthetic sling applications, these shackles deliver traceability, compliance, and long-lasting durability.
Premium Construction and Design
- Alloy steel construction provides exceptional strength and resistance to fatigue and impact.
- Wide bow design offers a larger sling bearing surface that preserves sling capacity and reduces wear.
- Clearly marked WLL and Product Identification Code (PIC) ensure complete traceability and compliance.
- Meets ASME B30.26 and WSTDA-RS1 standards for synthetic sling hardware.
Wide Range of Capacities
The S-281 series is available for web sling widths from 2 inches up to 6 inches and higher. Each size is precisely matched to maintain the rated Working Load Limit (WLL) of your sling. These shackles are ideal for use with Type III, Class 7, 2-ply web slings and compatible synthetic round slings.
Why Choose S-281 Over Standard Shackles
- Optimized bow shape improves sling efficiency by up to 15 percent compared to conventional anchor shackles.
- Permanent markings and Crosby branding make inspection and verification easy.
- Pin and ear dimensions match Crosby’s standard shackles, allowing seamless integration with existing rigging systems.
- Improved sling protection reduces wear, extending service life and reducing long-term costs.
Ideal Applications
- Connecting synthetic slings to eyebolts, pad eyes, or lifting lugs
- Heavy-duty rigging in construction, oil and gas, marine, and manufacturing industries
- Operations requiring full traceability and compliance documentation
Selection and Usage Guidelines
- Match the webbing width: Select the shackle sized for your sling width (2", 3", 4", 6").
- Verify Working Load Limit: Ensure the shackle WLL equals or exceeds your sling capacity.
- Inspect markings: Confirm the Crosby name, WLL, and PIC are visible before use.
- Use the correct sling type: Tapered eyes are required for webbing widths of 3 inches or more.
- Inspect regularly: Check hardware for wear, deformation, or corrosion before each lift.
