G-209 1/2″ Off-Road Bow Shackle – Heavy Duty Anchor Shackle for Towing, Rigging & Recovery

The G-209 1/2″ Off-Road Bow Shackle from Rongda Metal is a heavy-duty anchor shackle designed for rugged performance in towing, rigging, lifting, trailer recovery and industrial applications. Its wide bow design supports multi-directional loading, and the screw pin closure enables fast attachment and detachment — ideal for both temporary and regular use in demanding environments.

 Product Overview – Galvanized Forged Bow Shackle for Versatile Use

A bow shackle (also known as an anchor shackle) is a core component in rigging hardware that connects chains, straps, slings, ropes and cables to load points or lifting hooks. The G-209 series is a trusted industrial standard, widely used across construction, transportation, manufacturing, offshore, and marine sectors due to its durability and compliance with safety standards.

The 1/2″ nominal size shackle offers a working load limit (WLL) of approximately 2.0 tons (around 4,400 lbs) — making it suitable for moderate lifting and towing scenarios where strength and reliability are essential.

Key Features & Benefits

 Heavy-Duty Forged Construction

Made from forged, quenched and tempered high-strength carbon steel for maximum structural integrity and resistance to bending or fatigue under load.

 Hot-Dip Galvanized Corrosion Protection

The hot-dip galvanized finish provides excellent resistance to rust, abrasion and environmental corrosion — suitable for outdoor, marine and industrial applications, and ensures long service life.

Screw Pin Closure

Equipped with a screw pin for quick, tool-free installation and removal, making this shackle ideal for temporary rigging, adjustable connections and frequent assembly/disassembly.

Bow Shape for Multi-Direction Load

The wider anchor bow design accommodates multi-directional load paths, versatile sling hooks, and wider straps — improving compatibility in diverse towing and rigging scenarios.

 Clearly Marked Working Load Limit

Each shackle is clearly stamped with its Working Load Limit (WLL) and grade for safer load verification and traceability.

 Meets Rigorous Safety Standards

G-209 shackles meet or exceed ASME B30.26 and relevant specifications for anchor shackles, ensuring reliability under certified load conditions.

OEM & Custom Options Available

Supports OEM customization including finish types, markings, packaging and bulk order requirements — ideal for distributors, fleet buyers and industrial purchasers.

 How It Works – Installation & Typical Applications

A G-209 bow shackle with a screw pin is used as a secure load-bearing connector in a variety of rigging and towing systems. Its bow shape accommodates multiple directions of load — ideal for complex lifting or towing arrangements.

Installation & Use:

1. Insert the screw pin through aligned ears of the shackle body and the rigging attachment (chain, loop, sling).

2. Tighten the pin fully by hand until securely engaged.

3. Ensure load direction aligns with the bow axis to reduce side loading.

4. Inspect shackle and threads before use in lifting, towing or recovery.

Common Applications:

• Trailer towing & recovery systems

• Construction rigging & lifting jobs

• Marine mooring & anchoring

• Warehouse material handling

• Off-road recoveries & utility towing
