Crosby® 252 Alloy Sling Saver Bolt Type Sling Shackles
The Crosby® 252 Alloy Sling Saver Bolt Type Sling Shackles are specialized lifting shackles designed to securely connect and lift loads with wire rope or chain slings. Manufactured by Crosby, a renowned brand in the lifting and rigging industry, these shackles are designed to provide a reliable and safe connection point for lifting applications.
Here are the key features and characteristics of the Crosby® 252 Alloy Sling Saver Bolt Type Sling Shackles:
1. Design: The 252 Alloy Sling Saver shackles are typically constructed using high-strength alloy steel, ensuring durability and resistance to wear and corrosion. They feature a bow-shaped design, which allows for easy attachment of wire rope or chain slings.
2. Bolt-Type Design: These shackles utilize a bolt and nut mechanism for secure fastening and easy assembly and disassembly. The bolt passes through the bow of the shackle and is secured with a nut, providing a strong connection point for lifting operations.
3. Sling Protection: The Sling Saver design of these shackles features a wider bow radius, reducing the concentrated pressure on the sling. This design minimizes the risk of damage to the sling, such as pinching or cutting, ensuring its longevity and performance.
4. Load Rating: The 252 Alloy Sling Saver shackles are rated for specific working load limits (WLL). The load rating indicates the maximum load capacity that the shackle can safely handle under normal operating conditions. It is essential to adhere to these load limits to ensure safe lifting operations and prevent overloading.
5. Compliance and Certification: Crosby manufactures the 252 Alloy Sling Saver shackles in compliance with industry standards and regulations. They undergo rigorous testing and quality control processes to meet safety requirements. Certification and traceability information may be provided to demonstrate their compliance.
6. Corrosion Resistance: To enhance their durability and resistance to environmental conditions, these shackles are often coated or plated with corrosion-resistant materials, such as zinc or galvanized finishes. This protective coating helps prevent rust and corrosion, extending the life of the shackles.
