Performance highlights SHK-D Intrinsically safe cabled load shackle
The SHK-D Series is a high-precision load shackle designed for lifting and weighing in tough industrial environments. Based on the Crosby™ G2150 shackle and available in rated capacities from 1 to 35 tonnes, it offers excellent load accuracy, non-repeatability below 0.1%, and environmental protection to IP67.
Usage conditions
Ideal for rugged field applications, the SHK-D performs reliably from -20°C to +70°C and supports hazardous area operations (ATEX Ex i / Ex d from 3.25 tonnes). The load pin is internally gauged and fully sealed, offering dependable performance in subsea, offshore, and cable tension environments.
Possible applications
- Under-hook hoist and crane weighing
- Towing and mooring tension monitoring
- Cable tensioning systems
- Safe load monitoring in cranes
- Offshore lifting operations
- Subsea tension control
Advantages of choosing this product
With easy installation, certified shackles, and flexible configuration options like signal conditioning, telemetry, and custom electrical connectors, the SHK-D is a versatile choice for demanding load monitoring tasks. Available with optional centralising bobbin to improve accuracy under non-uniform loading.
