REPLACEMENT FOR HEAVY D-SHACKLES
The Orion® Shackle
The Patented Orion® Shackle is a safe replacement for traditionally used heavyweight steel D-shackles to attach slings to broken or bogged machines. With break loads ranging from 400t to 500t, these high-performance shackles are manufactured in Australia, with a Dyneema core, then double braided with DSM Dyneema®SK75 for added abrasion resistance.
