Green Pin Introduces the Power Sling Shackle

May 3, 2017 - Green Pin, a Van Beest brand of synthetic and steel wire rope accessories, has introduced the Green Pin Power Sling shackle. The Power Sling Shackle lets customers save up to 20% on synthetic- and wire rope costs because of its optimal D/d ratio and the more than 10% wide crown.

Evert van Beuzekom, vice president of sales & procurement, said: “The transport and installation industry continues to be focused on cost effectiveness, while obviously not wanting to make any compromises on quality and safety. The ability of the Green Pin Power Sling shackle to save customers up to 20% on synthetic- and wire rope costs is thus very timely and gives them a real competitive advantage”.

On top of its cost saving benefits, each Power Sling shackle has been individually proofload tested to twice the working load limit. Long-term performance is guaranteed by extensive fatigue testing (over 40.000 cycles). Material characteristics have been thoroughly examined, both internally and in the shackle’s surface, by MPI-tests, ultrasonic inspection and X-ray tests. The Power Sling also offers great handling, thanks to the lower body weight, multiple handling points, and RFID-chips in shackle body and pin.

The Green Pin Power Sling is available in a range from WLL 125T to 1250T. It can be supplied with a variety of certificates.
