VanBeest Green Pin G-5263 Alloy Bolt Type Super Shackle

The Green Pin G-5263 Alloy Bolt Type Super Shackle is a high-capacity forged alloy steel shackle with a bolt-type closure, designed for the heaviest lifting and mooring applications. The "Super Shackle" designation indicates a higher working load limit than standard shackles of the same pin size, achieved through advanced alloy metallurgy and optimized forging design.

Key Features

• Alloy steel forging with higher WLL than standard shackles
• Bolt, nut, and cotter pin for positive locking
• Designed for extreme-capacity lifting and mooring
• Hot-dip galvanized for corrosion protection
• Individually proof tested with full traceability and certification

Common Applications

• Heavy lift crane operations requiring maximum capacity
• Offshore mooring and anchor handling
• Subsea and marine heavy rigging
• Applications where standard shackle capacity is insufficient

Why Super Shackle?

When standard shackle capacity isn't enough, the G-5263 Super Shackle provides a higher working load limit without stepping up to the next pin size. This can be critical in applications where the connection geometry is fixed.

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
• 49 CFR 393.102 to 393.130 — DOT cargo tie-down
• 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).
