4WD Recovery Off-road 3/4 inch Towing G209 Screw Pin Forged Bow Shackle
A bow shackle, also known as an anchor shackle, is a U-shaped metal component with a removable pin. The larger, rounded bow design offers more versatility in movement compared to the D-shackle, which has a narrower profile. This broader design allows the shackle to accommodate multiple slings or straps, making it ideal for multidirectional loads.
- Size and Strength:
- The 3/4-inch diameter gives the shackle a load capacity that’s suitable for various towing and lifting needs. Typically, this size of shackle has a working load limit (WLL) of around 4.75 tons (9,500 lbs), though the actual capacity depends on the specific product and material.
- It’s important to note that the shackle’s WLL should never be exceeded, as this could lead to equipment failure or safety hazards.
- Screw Pin Design:
- The screw pin is one of the key features of this type of shackle. The pin can be easily removed and inserted, allowing for quick attachment and detachment of the shackle.
- This design is especially useful in towing situations where speed and ease of use are essential. Unlike other locking mechanisms, the screw pin doesn’t require tools for installation or removal, making it a popular choice for off-road recovery and towing tasks.
Towing and Vehicle Recovery:
- Off-road enthusiasts, truckers, and even emergency recovery crews often rely on the 3/4-inch screw pin bow shackle for vehicle recovery. The ability to attach it to tow straps, winches, or recovery points makes it a staple tool for pulling vehicles out of difficult terrains like mud, snow, or sand.

Cautions:
- Check the Working Load Limit (WLL): Always ensure the shackle’s WLL matches or exceeds the load you’re working with.
- Inspect Before Use: Regularly inspect the shackle for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Never use a damaged shackle, as it can fail under load.
- Secure the Pin Properly: Ensure that the screw pin is fully tightened before using the shackle, as a loose pin can work its way out under load, leading to potential failure.
- Avoid Side Loading: While the bow shackle handles side loads better than some alternatives, always try to load it in-line for maximum strength.
