Unclassified shackles
Unclassified shackles for anchoring and suspension
In addition to certified lifting shackles, CERTEX also offers unclassified shackles designed for situations where lifting is not required. Both bow‑ and D‑type unclassified shackles are intended for anchoring, suspension, and simple securing tasks where no lifting certification is needed. They provide a stable and flexible solution for fastening equipment, closing systems, or creating connection points in non‑lifting applications. A cost‑effective alternative when certification is not necessary.
Note! Unclassified shackles must not be used for lifting!
Applications for unclassified shackles
- Suspending chains and ropes (non‑load‑bearing)
- Mounting signs, barriers, and decorations
- Mooring small boats and small‑craft accessories
- Attachment point for anchor lines and fenders
- Connecting straps and tie‑down webbing without load
- Garden and home projects for light suspension
- Hobby projects where high strength is not critical
- Gates, leashes, and other lightweight yard equipment
