Heavy-Duty Steel Shackle Set is designed to work with the vehicle's winch and can also be used as a recovery or pulling point. This set includes 2 heavy-duty steel constructed bow/D shackles and a threaded pin for easy removal and safety securing your load. 

Multi-variation list with two options:

  1. 3/4" 4.75Ton Bow Shackle
  2. 3/4" 4.75Ton D Shackle


Shackle plays an important role in nearly all types of rigging. Two very common choices would be bow shackles and D shackles. It is important to understand the differences between the two and the advantages of each in specific situations so that the proper instrument can be used.

A bow shackle looks similar to an anchor shackle except that the bowed part of the shackle is much larger than an anchor shackle. Some, however, will use the names interchangeably. These shackles have an almost rounded U – shape to them. The D shackle, on the other hand has straight legs with a rounded top.

It is important to note that the larger loop does D Shackles weaken the strength of the overall shackle, but the size also allows for a larger strap.


The D shackle is limited a bit in the way it can handle a load. The small loop at the top can typically handle something heavy, but side loads or racking loads may bend D shackles. For this reason, they are most typically used in bidirectional load situations.  Since the loop at the top of the shackle is rather small, the piece is typically capable of handling a significant weight, but always verify restrictions on a particular piece before use.
