In high-risk rigging operations, there’s no room for error, and that’s exactly why Crosby lifting shackles have become the gold standard in lifting and rigging equipment. Known for their superior engineering, durability, and unmatched safety record, Crosby shackles are trusted by rigging professionals across industries from construction and oil & gas to logistics and marine operations.
At Dutest, we supply Crosby products not just because they’re popular, but because they consistently deliver the performance and reliability our client’s demand.
What sets Crosby lifting shackles apart?
Crosby has built its reputation on precision-forged hardware designed to exceed international safety and performance standards. Here’s why they’re a top choice for lifting professionals:
Uncompromising strength and load ratings
Crosby shackles are engineered with a safety factor of 6:1 and are load-tested to 2x the Working Load Limit (WLL). Whether used for straight lifts or angular applications, these shackles maintain integrity under pressure, a critical requirement in heavy lifting scenarios.
Full material traceability
Each Crosby shackle includes markings that indicate size, manufacturer ID, and trace code, providing full traceability from forge to field. This transparency supports quality assurance and compliance, especially in regulated industries like oil & gas.
Ductile forging for superior toughness
Crosby lifting shackles are forged from high-quality alloy steel, quenched and tempered for exceptional impact resistance — even in low-temperature environments. This makes them ideal for outdoor and offshore lifting tasks in the UAE and across the GCC.
Certified performance and global approvals
Crosby shackles meet or exceed ASME B30.26, EN13889, and other major global certifications. This simplifies the approval process for engineers and site supervisors who must comply with local or international rigging standards.
Where are Crosby shackles commonly used?
Crosby lifting shackles can be found at the core of rigging systems in:
- Heavy equipment lifting and crane operations
- Offshore platforms and subsea installations
- Structural steel erection and precast handling
- Container lifting, barge loading, and shipping yards
- Industrial plant shutdowns and maintenance lifts
With multiple design options, including screw pin, bolt-type, and wide-body shackles, there’s a Crosby solution for virtually every application.
Why rigging professionals choose Crosby
What sets professionals apart is their insistence on using the right tool for the job — and that often means choosing gear that’s certified, reliable, and proven in the field. Crosby shackles are not only widely recommended by rigging specialists, but they’re also backed by decades of field testing, innovation, and continuous improvement.
Choosing Crosby lifting shackles isn’t just a matter of preference, it’s a decision grounded in performance, safety, and long-term value.
Quality you can trust in every lift
In any lifting operation, the smallest component can have the biggest impact. When you choose Crosby shackles, you’re investing in equipment designed to safeguard your team, your load, and your timeline.
