Drop-Forged Towing Shackle for Truck Recovery
This Buyers Products Company shackle is built for heavy-duty recovery towing with dump trucks and other commercial vehicles. The drop-forged construction provides the strength needed for demanding pulling applications. A powder-coated finish resists corrosion during outdoor use and exposure to road salt. Assembly bolts directly to the truck chassis for a secure mounting point.
Suited for Chassis-Mounted Recovery Points
The bolt-on design makes this shackle appropriate for trucks where a permanent recovery attachment is required on the frame. The included clevis pin and cotter pin lock the shackle in position during use. Operators needing a quick-release hitch-mounted shackle or a weld-on alternative should consider different mounting styles. The fixed chassis installation is not intended for portable, vehicle-to-vehicle recovery kits.
5/8-Inch Hole Diameter for Pin Compatibility
The shackle features a 5/8 in hole diameter that determines which clevis pins and hardware can be used with the assembly. This dimension must match the pin specification of the tow rigging being employed for a safe connection. Verifying pin diameter against this measurement is the critical step before installation. No other dimensional data governs the fit.

Questions about this item
Will the 5/8 in hole diameter line up with the existing recovery points on my older truck chassis?
The shackle uses a 5/8 in hole diameter and bolts to the truck chassis, so it fits mounting points with that same bolt size.
How can I confirm the forged shackle and locking pin are seated correctly after bolting it on?
After bolting the assembly to the chassis, insert the clevis pin through the shackle and secure it with the included cotter pin; the pin should sit flush and not rotate.
Does the package include the cotter pin and clevis, or do I need to source them separately?
The box contains the forged shackle, ring, clevis and cotter pin, so no extra hardware is required for installation.
