5/8" Vangaurd Screw Pin Bow Shackle with Gold Pin

Vanguard Gold Pin Shackle Features:

·      5/8"” Screw Pin Bow Shackle WLL 3.25t with safety factor of 6:1 

·      Heat-treated carbon steel bow with alloy pins, quenched and tempered

·      Metallic coating of “Golden Pin” shackle pin allows for closer thread tolerances than is possible with an extra layer of paint

·      To assure total traceability, “Golden Pin” shackles are embossed with Vanguard ID, size, working load limit (WLL) and alloy pin ID

·      Working load limits are based on shackles in new condition and are subject to downward adjustment in case of side loading:

o   45 degrees from vertical in-line, WLL reduces to 70%

o   90 degrees from vertical in-line, WLL reduces to 50%

WARNING DO NOT:

·      exceed working load limits

·      exceed 120-degree incline angle

·      re-use shackles or pins that are visibly deformed

·      use shackles that are worn in the crown or pin by more than 10% of the original diameter

·      use screw pin shackles if the pin can roll under load

·      proof test shackles beyond two times the working load limit

WARNING: If after a quarter turn, the pin remains hard to remove, there is a good chance that the shackle has been overloaded beyond the designed working load limit (WLL) and therefore the shackle must be discarded.
