A bow shackle with a safety bolt is a type of shackle, which is a U-shaped metal piece with a removable pin used to connect various rigging components.
The bow shape is a more rounded form of shackle, typically used in situations where multi-directional loads are applied. This shape allows for more movement and reduces stress on the shackle under these kinds of loads.
The safety bolt feature provides additional security over standard pin shackles.
It typically consists of a pin with a nut and a split cotter pin or clip that goes through the bolt to prevent it from unscrewing, even under vibrations or tension.
This is especially useful in critical applications like lifting, towing, and mooring, where maintaining the integrity of the connection is vital.
Bow Shape : Allows for a greater range of movement and multidirectional load-bearing.
Safety Bolt : Reduces the risk of accidental loosening, enhancing security for high-stakes applications.
