Overview
Rigging hardware provides connection points within a lifting or wire rope system. The populated source records cover D shackles, bow shackles, lifting hooks, and open and closed spelter sockets.
Hardware must be selected as part of the complete system. Confirm the required type, working or rated load, dimensions, pin or interface, compatible rope diameter where applicable, material, finish, standard, quantity, and documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information is needed for a rigging hardware quotation?
Provide the hardware type, required rated capacity, dimensions, pin or interface details, compatible rope diameter where applicable, material, finish, quantity, standard, and documentation requirements.
How do I choose between a D shackle and a bow shackle?
Selection depends on the load direction, connection geometry, pin arrangement, required capacity, and governing requirements. The complete connection should be reviewed before selection.
Can hardware be supplied with a wire rope sling or assembly?
The source supports combined product-family planning, but compatibility and rated capacity must be confirmed for every component and the complete assembly.
Are all listed size and load ranges approved?
No. The master workbook contains draft ranges that require product-specific technical validation before they are presented as selectable ratings.
