Bespoke D Type Shackles Produced To Aid Delivery Of Handling System
Brooks Forgings Ltd specializes in producing customised forged components that meet clients' exact specifications by leveraging its extensive manufacturing capabilities and engineering expertise.
Recently, our team collaborated with mechanical and design engineers at a reputable handling and lifting company to manufacture a number of custom Dee Shackles needed to provide an end-to-end handling solution for their client.
A total of 8 shackles were made from 2-inch (50.8mm) diameter S355 mild steel. The steel was first hot forged into a 'dog bone' shape with each eye measuring 120mm outer diameter, machine finished with a 56mm hole. This was then hot bent to an internal radius of 65mm and length of 550mm using specialised tools to achieve the final shackle form.
