Def Shackle, also known as a D-shackle, is a type of load-bearing, U-shaped shackle used in various lifting and rigging applications. It is typically made of high-strength steel and consists of a threaded pin and a U-shaped body with a loop at each end to attach ropes, cables, or chains.
The Def Shackle is designed to provide a secure connection point between loads and lifting devices, such as cranes, hoists, and slings. Its U-shaped body provides a strong connection point, while the threaded pin allows for easy attachment and detachment of loads.
