Release the liftfrom the ground.

Dawson's best-known pile shackle: released by a pull-wire from the ground once the pile is set — no climbing, no one under the load. Suits all steel piles up to 28 mm thick (U, Z, pipe and box piles).

• ✓4 / 7.5 / 10 t WLL
• ✓High-strength cast steel body, alloy steel plunger
• ✓Concealed plunger mechanism, detachable for maintenance
• ✓Web stiffening for 90° side lifts
• ✓Proof-tested to 2× WLL — certificate with every shackle
• ✓Wide-throat and low-temperature versions available

For heavier loads, tubes and beams: the pin is retracted by a ratchet-and-strap mechanism from ground level, with 150 / 250 / 300 mm throats to suit tubes and heavy sections.

• ✓3.5 to 40 t WLL
• ✓150 / 250 / 300 mm throats
• ✓Mechanical ratchet release — no hydraulics, no power
• ✓Ideal for tubular piles, struts and beams
• ✓Proof-tested to 2× WLL with certificate

For large tubes: a Ø130 mm pin engaged and retracted hydraulically from a ground-mounted hand pump with a 60 m hose spooler — the operator is never under the shackle. As a pair with a spreader beam it lifts tubes up to 200 t.

• ✓100 t WLL (200 t as a pair)
• ✓Ø130 mm hydraulically released pin
• ✓Hand pump + 60 m hose spooler
• ✓Body tested to 5× WLL, each shackle proof-tested to 2×
• ✓Integrated stand frame — a single crane lift to move
