Recommended shackle manufacturers

Durham Lifting recommends Green Pin and Crosby because their combined ranges cover everyday rigging, higher-capacity lifting, sling-friendly connections, offshore work and demanding specialist applications. We supply against the confirmed application rather than limiting the enquiry to a short product list.
