These forged steel shackles are used to connect a self retracting lifeline to the SAFELINK system. SAFELINK addresses the difficulties of working on leading edge surfaces and other applications where horizontal work and low clearance fall hazards exist.
- The shackles are forged and rated to have a safe working load of at least 750 lb
- Screw-pin or bolt-type shackles are permitted to connect components of the lifeline system together
- Safety type shackles, which use a bolt and a cotter pin are the only type permitted to connect an SRD to the lifeline system
