Load Shackles DIN 82101

Load shackles DIN 82101 are a straight load-type rigging element. Used for forming rigging systems and devices, creating tensioning attachments, and suspension mechanisms together with flexible rigging elements.

Application areas

Load shackles DIN 82101 are used in industry, agriculture and everyday applications. Application areas:

1. Transporting and lifting loads.
2. Towing elements.
3. Securing loads.
4. Connecting wire ropes or chain rigging elements.

Standard requirements

Shackle selection is determined by the static and dynamic loads the mechanism experiences during operation, and by the dimensions of its structural elements. The DIN 82101 standard establishes:

1. Materials permitted for manufacturing rigging shackles.
2. Manufacturing methods for DIN 82101 rigging shackles.
3. Requirements for the working surface.
4. Marking locations on the product and marking type.
5. Quality control methods during manufacturing.
6. Product storage conditions.

Installation

When operating a DIN 82101 rigging shackle, the cotter pin must not be left partially unscrewed. Before use, the body and pin are checked for defects; if any are found, the fastener must not be used.

Overloading the rigging mechanism is prohibited — both shock and static loads are taken into account. The standard requires maintaining a safety margin for the product.

Selection

The shackle is selected according to sling dimensions, in line with national and international standards. Selection parameters are the thickness of the shackle and its section, and the distance between the bow and the end of the rope.

The following are taken into account:

1. The size of the shackle’s bow opening relative to the rope diameter.
2. The length of the inner part.
3. Overall length.
4. The thickness of the shackle and the pin.

Shackle size is determined by a number corresponding to the permissible load on the element. Adjustments are made for the shackle’s material, operating temperature, and physical and mechanical properties.
