INSTRUCTIONS & CAUTIONS
Inspect Before Use
Before every use, make sure to inspect the roller shackle for any signs of damage or wear, especially the swivel mechanism and pins. Look out for cracks, corrosion, or missing parts. If anything looks off, don’t use the shackle—safety first! Regular checks prevent accidents and ensure long-term performance.
Follow Load Limits
Always adhere to the safe working load (SWL) limits specified for the roller shackle. Overloading can weaken the components, leading to failures under stress. Make sure your lifting setup matches the load specifications to ensure maximum safety during operations. If you’re unsure, always err on the side of caution.
Lubricate When Necessary
Although many roller shackles have self-lubricating bearings, it’s still a good idea to check for adequate lubrication every so often. Keep the bearings free from debris and ensure smooth operation. When external lubrication is needed, use marine-grade grease to keep everything running smoothly and prevent wear.
Proper Storage
Store your roller shackles in a dry, clean area to avoid exposure to saltwater or chemicals, which can cause corrosion. If not in use for long periods, clean the shackle and apply a protective coating if necessary. Proper storage helps prolong the lifespan of your rigging equipment and keeps it ready for the next job.

FAQ
What is a roller shackle?
A roller shackle is a lifting component designed for lifting and securing loads. It features a rotating roller that minimizes friction and reduces wear on cables or ropes, making it ideal for marine, construction, and rigging applications. Its durability and reliable design ensure it performs under heavy loads without compromising safety.
How does a roller shackle differ from a regular shackle?
The main difference is that a roller shackle has a swivel roller built into the design, which allows for smoother movement of cables and ropes. This feature reduces the stress on rigging equipment and increases its lifespan. Regular shackles, on the other hand, lack this smooth rotation, which can lead to more wear and tear during lifting operations.
How do I maintain a roller shackle?
1. Clean Regularly
After each use, rinse the roller shackle with fresh water to remove debris or salt buildup, ensuring its smooth operation.
2. Lubricate the Components
Apply marine-grade grease to the rollers and pins to reduce friction and prevent rust buildup, keeping the shackle in top condition.
3. Inspect for Wear and Damage
Regularly inspect the roller shackle for signs of wear, such as cracks or rust. If any parts appear damaged, replace them promptly to avoid safety risks.
4. Replace Worn Parts
Ensure any excessively worn parts are replaced to maintain safety and the integrity of the roller shackle.
5. Ensure Longevity and Safety
Regular maintenance of the roller shackle not only extends its lifespan but also ensures it remains safe for lifting operations.
What weight can a roller shackle safely lift?
The weight a roller shackle can safely lift depends on its size and rating. We offer a variety of roller shackles with different safe working loads (SWL), from 3 tons to 10 tons or more. Always ensure the shackle’s rated load capacity is suitable for your application, and never exceed the manufacturer’s recommended load limits to ensure safe operations.
