When do I need a wide-mouth shackle?
When the lifting point, hook or sling eye is too thick or wide for a standard shackle to fit properly. Our team can check dimensions against your rigging.
Can more than one sling go into a wide-mouth shackle?
Often yes, provided the slings sit correctly in the bow and the combined load and angles stay within the shackle rating. Check with our team before rigging.
How long can I hire it for?
Daily, weekly or long-term hire. Tell us your dates when you request a Quote and we will price the period that suits the job.
Does it come inspected and certified?
Yes. Every item is inspected and tagged by our team before it leaves the yard, and the current certificate goes with it.
Can you deliver to site?
We deliver nationwide from our branches in South Australia and the Northern Territory (Regency Park, Whyalla and Darwin), or you can collect from your nearest branch.
Not sure which size or type you need?
Send us the load, the lift and the site conditions. Our team will recommend the right equipment and include it in your Quote.
