Sockets, shackles, anchors

Dovetail shackle

A forged D-ring on a dovetail plate that slots straight into an installed dovetail slipper, giving you a rated, removable lashing point without any welding on the day.

Description

Wherever a dovetail slipper has already been fitted for a dovetail twistlock, this shackle uses the very same socket — only instead of holding a container down, it presents a forged D-ring ready for chains and straps. Think of it as the removable partner to a welded lashing eye: the slipper stays put as a permanent fixture, while the shackle comes and goes with whatever job needs a lashing point that day. No welding is required once the slipper is in place.

Features

• Forged D-ring on a dovetail plate — no welding needed once a slipper is installed
• Engages the same slipper socket used by the dovetail twistlock
• Removable and re-usable: the slipper stays, the lashing point travels with the job

Where it is used

Removable lashing and load-securing points on decks, trailers and structures already fitted with dovetail slippers, and project cargo securing generally.
