The Green Pin® Tapered Pin ROV Shackle D is a grade 8 shackle with a D-handle and a tapered ending on the shackle pin. The shackle was specially developed for (subsea) release and retrieve operations with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). The shackle’s handle can be manipulated easily by a hydraulically operated ROV arm. Safety and controllability are optimal: the handles are firmly attached to the pin head with bolts and Nord-Lock® rings, while the pin head contains grooves for attaching the pin to the shackle body with the help of wire rope. Under water assembly of the shackle becomes easier due to the tapered ending of the pin while the white colour of the shackle body and the orange colour of the handle improve visibility.
Features:
- Pin grooves for secure attachment with wire rope
- Suitable for inline and side loading (reduction factors apply)
- White coating for optimal underwater visibility
- Pin’s screw thread is chambered to protect against wear and tear
