The G2130 Bow Shackle stands as a premier choice in the realm of lifting and rigging, with a design tailored to meet the demanding needs of various industries, especially those in the marine and aquaculture sectors. Engineered with precision, it serves as a critical component for securely connecting ropes, chains, and other load - bearing elements.
Features
- Exceptional Strength: Constructed from forged, quenched, and tempered materials paired with alloy pins, the G2130 Bow Shackle offers an impressive capacity range from 0.3 to 150 metric tons, falling under the reliable grade 6. This robust build ensures it can handle substantial loads, making it suitable for heavy - duty applications in sea - based operations.
- Clear Identification: Every G2130 Bow Shackle has its working load limit and grade "6" permanently marked. This clear and indelible marking simplifies the process of quickly assessing the appropriate usage and load - bearing capabilities, significantly reducing the risk of overloading and enhancing overall operational safety.
- Surface Protection: Available in hot dip galvanized or self - colored finishes. The hot dip galvanized option, which is standard for 85, 120, and 150 - metric - ton shackles (with bows galvanized and bolts Dimetcote® treated and painted red), provides outstanding corrosion resistance. This makes it highly suitable for the harsh marine environment, where exposure to saltwater and humidity is constant.
- Fatigue - Resistant Design: Rated for fatigue, especially in the 1/3 t - 55 t range, the G2130 can endure cyclic loading. This means it can withstand repeated stress over time without a significant decline in its mechanical properties, ensuring long - term reliability in applications where the load is constantly fluctuating, such as in wave - affected mooring systems.

1. How does the G2130 Bow Shackle withstand the corrosive effects of saltwater in marine and aquaculture applications?
The G2130 Bow Shackle, especially in its hot dip galvanized version, has a zinc coating applied through a hot - dipping process. This zinc layer acts as a sacrificial barrier, protecting the underlying metal from corrosion. In addition, for larger - capacity shackles (85, 120, and 150 metric tons), the bolts are Dimetcote® treated and painted red, providing an extra layer of protection against the harsh effects of saltwater.
2. Can the G2130 Bow Shackle be used to secure large - scale aquaculture cages in rough sea conditions?
Yes, the G2130 Bow Shackle is designed to handle significant loads and is fatigue - rated. In rough sea conditions, where the cages are subject to continuous movement and stress from waves and currents, the shackle's high - strength construction and ability to withstand cyclic loading make it suitable for securely fastening the cages. However, it's important to ensure that the working load limit of the shackle is well - above the maximum expected load.
3. What is the significance of the RFID technology in G2130 Bow Shackles (25 t and larger) for marine and aquaculture operations?
In marine and aquaculture operations, where there are often multiple components spread across large areas, the RFID technology in G2130 Bow Shackles simplifies tracking and inventory management. It allows operators to quickly identify the location, usage history, and inspection status of each shackle. For example, in a large - scale offshore aquaculture farm with numerous mooring components, RFID - enabled shackles can be scanned to ensure that all components are in good condition and have been inspected regularly, improving overall operational efficiency and safety.
4. Are there any specific maintenance requirements for G2130 Bow Shackles used in marine and aquaculture settings?
Regular inspection is crucial. Check for any signs of wear, such as cracks, deformation, or excessive corrosion. Clean the shackles regularly to remove salt deposits, algae, and other debris that can accelerate corrosion. In case of any signs of damage or if the shackle has been used in an extreme situation (like a severe storm), it should be thoroughly inspected by a qualified professional before further use.
5. How do I select the right - sized G2130 Bow Shackle for my aquaculture mooring system?
First, calculate the maximum expected load on the mooring system. This includes the weight of the aquaculture cages, the buoyancy forces, and any additional forces from waves and currents. Then, choose a G2130 Bow Shackle with a working load limit that is significantly higher than this calculated maximum load. Also, consider the environmental conditions and the type of connection required, such as compatibility with the ropes or chains used in the mooring system.
6. Can the G2130 Bow Shackle be used for temporary mooring in the marine industry during maintenance operations?
Yes, the G2130 Bow Shackle is suitable for temporary mooring during maintenance operations. Its high - strength construction and various available sizes make it adaptable to different load requirements. However, it's essential to ensure that the shackle is properly installed and that the working load limit is not exceeded, even during short - term use.
7. What certifications are available for G2130 Bow Shackles used in marine and aquaculture applications?
Shackles with capacities of 85 metric tons and larger are individually proof - tested to 2.0 times the working load limit and come with type approval certification in accordance with ABS 2007 steel vessel rules 1 - 11 - 17.7 and ABS guide for certification on cranes. For sizes up to 25 tons, 3.1 certification as standard is available for Charpy and statistical proof test for pg 79 to DNV 2.7 - 1 and EN 13889. These certifications ensure that the shackles meet the high - quality and safety standards required for marine and aquaculture applications.
8. Are there any differences in the performance of G2130 Bow Shackles in cold - water aquaculture regions compared to warmer regions?
The G2130 Bow Shackle is approved for use at temperatures ranging from - 40°C (- 40°F) to 204°C (400°F). While the material properties may experience some minor changes in cold - water regions, the shackle is designed to perform reliably within this temperature range. However, in extremely cold conditions, more frequent inspections may be advisable to ensure that there are no signs of brittleness or other temperature - related issues.
