Introducing rope and metal together in
a single, groundbreaking design
The AirShackle™ is a lightweight, flexible substitute for steel shackles
Its unique design allows for quick rigging and optimal D:d ratios
The Patented AirShackle™ sets a new standard in rigging performance and remains the hybrid shackle benchmark in strength, safety, and innovation:
Combines high-strength UHMWPE fibres with a tempered high-tensile steel load pin, black nitrided for durability, and CNC-machined aerospace-grade aluminium alloy (7075-T6) spools and nuts
Unique design allows the bow and pin to split separately for easy assembly, or remain attached on one side for quick rigging
Can custom make to any length and strength
Heavy duty UHMWPE cut-resistant braided cover
Rigorously performance tested to recognised Industry Standards
Good D:d ratios for compatibility with synthetic slings
Patented
Proof-loaded at 40% of MBS
Not to be used for lifting application, however our lifting qualifications are coming soon…
For use in offshore, marine, mining, ports and shipping, energy industries to name a few.
*MBS = Minimum Break Strength

TESTING THE AIRSHACKLE™
Each AirShackle™ design has undergone controlled performance testing to observe strength, ductility, and durability under load.. Proof testing confirms consistent results. The AirShackle™’s metal components are engineered to deform in a controlled and predictable way when overloaded. This controlled deformation allows the system to absorb energy safely and provides a clear visual indicator before any potential failure.
Representative examples of controlled failure testing ➡️ For actual Break Certificates please contact us. Break test results are provided for engineering reference only and do not represent rated working loads. Safe working limits must be determined by the user based on application, system design, and applicable standards.
