Green Pin Bow Shackle BN (Bolt & Nut)

The Green Pin Bow Shackle BN is a bolt-and-nut anchor shackle built for permanent and semi-permanent rigging connections. The bolt and nut closure provides a secure, non-rotating pin that resists loosening under vibration and dynamic loads — making it the preferred choice for critical lifting applications.

Key Features

• Bolt and nut pin closure for vibration-resistant security
• Forged alloy steel body, quenched and tempered
• Hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance
• Bow shape accommodates multi-directional loading
• Individually proof tested at 2× WLL with certificate
• Meets EN 13889 Type A standard

Common Applications

• Permanent rigging installations
• Overhead crane and hoist connections
• Marine, offshore, and construction lifting
• Any application subject to vibration or dynamic loading

Why Green Pin?

Green Pin shackles by Van Beest set the global standard for quality and reliability in rigging hardware. Every shackle is individually proof tested and fully traceable — trusted by riggers on every continent.

Standards & Compliance

Every product we carry is individually marked with Working Load Limit (WLL), manufacturer traceability code, and country of origin. Inspection and mill certificates are available on request — email sales@slingcenter.com with your order number.

Governing Standards

• ASME B30.9 — slings (web, round, wire rope, chain) inspection and use
• ASME B30.26 — rigging hardware (shackles, eye bolts, links, turnbuckles)
• ASME B30.10 — hooks
• OSHA 1910.184 and 1926.251 — general industry and construction sling safety
• WSTDA WS-2 and RS-1 — web and round sling design

• NACM — welded steel chain grade specs

Inspection & Safety

Before every use: visual check for cracks, corrosion, distortion, wear, and illegible markings. Annually (minimum): documented periodic inspection by a trained inspector. Remove from service at first sign of damage. Never repair rigging hardware by welding, heating, or bending.

WARNING: Improper use of rigging can cause death or serious injury. Never exceed the rated Working Load Limit. Apply derating for side-loading, elevated temperature, or chemical exposure. Final application decisions must be made by a Qualified Person per OSHA 1926.32(m).
