D-Shackles

The current standard applying to shackles is AS 2741-2002, however this standard does not specifically cover the use of rated shackles in an application such as attaching a trailer to a tow bar. This standard covers the use of shackles for lifting purposes.

The caravan industry recommendation is that a shackle meeting the requirements of AS 2741-2002 be used to secure rated safety chains up to 3500kg capacity.

Suitable shackles have the following specifications:

  • Meet the requirements of AS 2741-2002
  • Shackle grade is “S” or “6”
  • Working load limit (WLL) is 1000kg
  • Shackle diameter is 10mm
