Van Beest G-5263 Alloy Bolt Bow Shackles
Van Beest Green Pin® G-5263 Alloy Bolt Bow Shackles are built for demanding lifting, rigging, and securement applications where strength, durability, and connection security matter most. Manufactured in Europe to high quality standards, these alloy bow shackles are designed for heavy-duty performance and are marked with both steel grade and traceability code for added confidence on the job. The G-5263 line also meets the performance requirements of US federal specification RR-C-271 Type IVA Class 3, Grade B.
Green Pin® G-5263 Super Shackles are engineered to provide up to 50% greater working load limit than standard shackles with comparable dimensions, making them an excellent choice when higher capacity is needed without moving to a much larger shackle size. Available in a wide range of sizes, these bolt type bow shackles offer working load limits from 3.3 tons up to 175 tons for a broad range of overhead lifting, recovery, marine, industrial, and rigging applications.
Why Choose Van Beest G-5263 Bow Shackles?
The bow shackle design features a larger rounded shape that allows more room for slings, straps, and multiple connection points than a narrower chain shackle. This makes alloy bolt bow shackles a dependable option when flexibility at the connection point is important. For applications needing a smaller loop, other shackle styles may be a better fit, but for many general rigging and lifting setups, the bow configuration offers the versatility contractors and rigging professionals need.
These Van Beest shackles use a bolt type pin configuration with a bolt, nut, and split pin for a more secure connection in long-term or semi-permanent applications. This style is commonly preferred when there is a chance the load could shift on the pin and create unsafe rotation, or when the shackle will remain installed for extended use. Because of this secure assembly, bolt type shackles are often referred to as safety bolt shackles.
