As a connecting component, shackles play a very important role in lifting and rigging operations. Shackles can be used in conjunction with wire ropes and chains for tying up, fixing, and lifting heavy objects. Shackles mostly are used frequently and work intensively, so they are prone to wear and tear. So shackles need to be maintained daily to reduce damage and extend their service life. The following will tell you how to maintain the shackle on a daily basis.
- Do not stack shackles, especially do not allow pressure stacking to prevent shackles from deforming.
- When cracks and deformation occur in the shackle, it is strictly prohibited to use welding and heating bending methods to repair the shackle.
- The surface of the shackle should be protected against rust, and it is not allowed to be stored in acid, alkali, salt, chemical gas, moisture, or high-temperature environments.
- The shackles are stored in a ventilated and dry place and kept by designated personnel.
- After the hoisting operation is completed, it is not allowed to drop the shackle from a high altitude to prevent the shackle from colliding with the ground and causing deformation or internal damage and cracks.
The above are the maintenance measures for the shackle. Maintaining the shackle well can not only extend its service life but also ensure the smooth progress of the operation.
