Safety D-Shackle CSS

The stainless steel products from cromox® are characterized by their outstanding quality and the "Made in Germany" guarantee. The result of many years of research and development by Ketten-Wälder, they meet the high standards of DIN EN 13889. This specification defines the safety criteria for lifting fasteners. This includes the required design features such as size, accuracy levels and other specifications. The standard also defines the necessary test procedures such as load tests, strength tests, notched impact strength and chemical resistance tests.

The in-house testing laboratory of cromox® is certified by Lloyd's Register. Here, we subject all our stainless steel products to strict quality control. These products are known for their excellent resistance to corrosion, their long-lasting durability, and their reliable performance even in the harshest environments. Therefore, they are preferentially used by companies from the corresponding industries such as the food, automotive, or chemical industries. The relevant test certificates are supplied with your order.

Due to their properties, D-shackles are indispensable in lifting and conveying technology. Here they act as a connection between the load and the lifting gear. Their specific D-shape and design consists of a curved body with a straight bolt passing through the ends. This ensures that the load is securely anchored. The secure position of the bolt is ensured by a split pin which is guided through a specially designed hole in the protruding part of the bolt. This split pin (which is also corrosion-resistant) is a distinctive feature of the CSS safety D-shackle. All connecting elements serving as lifting means must undergo regular checks to ensure their safety and performance continuously. The specific regulations for these inspections are set out in standards such as EN 12195, EN 14492, or the DGUV Regulation 100-500..

The stainless material AISI 316L is a high-quality austenitic steel that is used for special loads due to its excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The addition of molybdenum improves its resistance to chloride corrosion and makes it extremely resistant to acids and alkalis. It is listed under the chemical designation X2CRNiMo17-12-2. The properties of this stainless steel make it a versatile material for many applications. With its low carbon content, it enables efficient processing and is resistant to both high and low temperatures.
