Green Pin Wide Mouth Safety Bow Shackle

Product Description

Green Pin Wide Mouth Safety Bow Shackles are heavy-duty connectors designed for demanding marine, mooring, lifting and rigging applications. Their wider bow provides additional clearance, making them suitable for connecting larger chains, ropes, cables, slings and other components where a standard bow shackle may not provide enough room.

The safety bolt and securing mechanism help prevent the pin from loosening during movement, vibration or changing loads. This makes the shackles suitable for applications where a secure connection is important, including permanent and temporary mooring arrangements, marine construction work, lifting operations and heavy equipment handling.

They are particularly useful for marinas, boatyards, shipyards, marine engineers, offshore contractors, lifting companies and commercial vessel operators. Typical applications include connecting mooring chains, attaching chains and lifting equipment to secure points, joining rigging components, securing heavy marine equipment and carrying out repairs or replacement work on vessels and mooring systems.

The green pin provides clear visual identification and makes the shackle easier to recognise during installation, inspection and maintenance. A range of sizes is available, with working load limits extending from 4,750kg to 75,000kg, subject to the specific size selected.

Common uses and applications

• Connecting large mooring chains and anchor systems
• Securing boats, pontoons, buoys and marine structures
• Marine construction and offshore work
• Heavy-duty lifting and rigging operations
• Connecting wire rope, chains, slings and lifting equipment
• Shipyard, boatyard and marina maintenance
• Securing heavy machinery and commercial equipment
• Replacing worn or damaged shackles in existing systems
• Temporary or permanent connections where the safety pin must remain secure

Always select the correct shackle size and working load limit for the intended application. Shackles used for lifting must be suitable for the lifting operation and inspected in accordance with the relevant site and safety procedures.
