These robust pile lifting shackles were contractor designed and developed over many years of site use and abuse.

The use of these shackles compliments the "Feet on the ground" approach to piling. When used in conjunction with the DCP Sheet Pile Threader there is no need for site operatives to go above the safety of top frame level for interlocking sheet piles or releasing the lifting shackles.

DCP shackles are suitable for lifting all steel piles yp to 30mm thick and within the safe working load of the shackle.

The shackles are designed to withstand a measure of unavoidable misuse.

Larssen piles when stacked in singles tend to jamb together. The DCP shackle is stiffened to resist spreading of the forks under such overload conditions at 90 degrees to the axis of the pile.

A version of the Rachet shackle is available for steel erection work.
