Shackle Pin Pads

The pin area of a shackle can cause synthetic slings to cut and placing synthetic slings on the pin should be avoided. Even a new shackle can have a sharp edge where the threaded pin goes through the shackle ear. If the sling is exposed to this area, it can cut and fail. The Shackle Pin Pad is the latest SLINGMAX® SOLUTION in the constant effort to ensure the ultimate rigging safety of our customers. If you must rig on the pin, protect your sling with a SLINGMAX® Pin Pad.

Shackle Pin Pads

  • Protects sling along entire pin including ear seams.
  • Three connection points secure pad to shackle.
  • Take on and off in seconds.
 

Exposure of a sling to load edges or corners requires protection that is not susceptible to cutting because of toughness or zero contact. As shown in the photo below, the CornerMax™ Pad forms a tunnel between the load edge and the pad. This geometric separation is essential in protecting the pad itself from contacting the load edge, which provides maximum protection to the sling.

Warning! Can cause damage or failure of sling if misused or damaged. Inspect before each use. Inspect for cuts, tears or damage that may prevent protection of the sling. Be sure wear protection is the correct size and type to protect the sling. DEATH or INJURY can occur from improper use or maintenance.
