Crosby Introduces G-2170 Grommet Shackle

November 20, 2013 - The Crosby Group, Tulsa, Okla., has added the 2170 Grommet Shackle series to its product offerings. These shackles are intended for critical lifting applications that require high capacity with limited or tight headroom, such as chemical plants, refineries, interstate highway construction, and offshore derrick barge cranes.

 

The Crosby 2170 Grommet Shackle series is designed for use with single or double large diameter grommets. The new shackle design provides a bearing surface that is at least fives times that of a round shackle, increasing the usable sling strength minimum by 60% and greatly improves the life of the grommet sling. All sizes are RFID equipped in the bow and pin, and utilize the new Crosby Easy-Loc Bolt Securement system, which features a hinged split collar assembly that eliminates the traditional threaded bolt, nut and cotter pin.
