Green Pin P-6031 Polar Heavy Duty Bow Shackle (Safety Bolt & Nut)

The Green Pin P-6016 Heavy Duty Bow Shackle features an oversized cross section that delivers higher working load limits than standard bow shackles at equivalent sizes. Designed for the heaviest lifts in construction, offshore, and industrial applications where maximum capacity is required from every connection point.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty cross section for maximum WLL at size
• Flat nut pin for secure, non-rotating closure
• Forged alloy steel, quenched and tempered
• Hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance
• Individually proof tested at 2x WLL with certificate

Common Applications

• Heavy lift crane operations
• Offshore platform and subsea rigging
• Structural steel erection
• Mining and heavy industrial lifting

Why Green Pin?

Green Pin heavy-duty bow shackles deliver maximum capacity when standard shackles aren't enough. Every unit is individually proof tested by Van Beest with full material traceability.

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).
