Anchor Shackle Bolt Type 7/8
This US Cargo Control anchor shackle uses a bolt-type pin for secure lifting and rigging connections. The 7/8 inch steel body suits automotive, industrial and marine hardware assemblies. It is supplied new and intended for straight-line load applications where a removable pin is required. The component meets general hardware specifications for pulling and conveying tasks.
Replaces worn or damaged shackles
Swap out a deformed, corroded or missing shackle when the pin no longer seats cleanly or the bow shows visible stretch. The bolt-type design allows inspection and reuse of the pin, unlike screw-pin models that can back off under vibration. Upgrade when a project demands a rated hardware piece rather than an improvised link. Not for buyers who need a larger diameter or a different pin style than the 7/8 inch bolt type provided.
Installation and common issues
Insert the bolt through the aligned ears, thread the nut fully and torque to the specification for the assembly. Ensure the load line sits in the centre of the bow to avoid side loading that reduces capacity. The most frequent problem is cross-threading the nut or using a shackle with a worn thread, which compromises the connection. California Proposition 65 notice applies: the product contains a chemical known to the state to cause cancer.

Questions about this item
What pin diameter does the 7/8" bolt-type shackle require for a secure fit?
The shackle uses a 7/8 inch bolt pin that threads through both ears of the bow, so the mounting hole or clevis must accept that exact diameter.
Which way should the bolt pin be oriented during installation to avoid the common mistake?
Insert the bolt pin from the side opposite the load eye so the threaded end engages the captive nut on the far ear; reversing it leaves the nut unloaded and can loosen under vibration.
How often should the bolt threads and pin body be inspected for wear or corrosion?
Check the threads and shank before every lift, and replace the shackle if the bolt shows galling, elongation or any reduction in the 7/8 inch diameter.
