A strong, dependable connector for aerial rigging where a clean, low-profile connection is preferred.
These shackles are easy to use, extremely sturdy, and an excellent alternative to traditional carabiners — especially when you want to reduce the height lost in a rigging setup or create a more compact connection.
Product Features:
• 3/8″ steel shackle with durable black finish — built for strength and everyday rigging use.
• Working Load Limit (WLL): 1,500 lbs — robust capacity for aerial hardware and apparatus connections.
• Available in two options: snagless style or screw-pin style (both finished in black).
• Black finish resists corrosion and blends cleanly with rigging hardware.
Shackles can help decrease the amount of height lost compared to rigging with a carabiner, making them a great choice for applications where every inch matters.
Snagless shackles, connected directly to a Lyra tab, create an especially smooth transition and connection point.
Whether you choose snagless or screw-pin, these shackles combine strength, simplicity, and durability in a compact package — perfect for aerial studios, performance rigs, and professional setups.
Use with properly rated rigging hardware and secure anchor points as part of a complete rigging system.
