Product Description
A good Steel Shackle or two can come in as handy as a Boy Scout's pocketknife when out on the trail, and Van Beest Green Pin Shackles are one of the most recognizable pieces of recovery and rigging equipment on the market. Well known and easily recognizable, Green Pin Shackles are designed, manufactured, and certified in The Netherlands. They are made of high strength steel, grade 6, quenched and tempered, with a Min Break Load equal to 6x their Working Load Limit.
