Kito Crosby’s latest innovation, the Crosby G-2160 Wide Body Shackle, is designed to improve safety and performance in heavy lifting operations. Available in eight capacities ranging from 400 to 2000 metric tons, this newly engineered shackle offers superior efficiency and versatility for demanding applications.
Key features include the widest bow on the market, which improves sling efficiency with smaller sling sizes and three lifting points, including a removable center lifting point for balanced handling. The shackle also boasts anti-rotation bolt heads to prevent unwanted movement during installation, as well as the Easy-Loc bolt securement option for select capacities.
In addition, the G-2160 is the only wide body shackle on the market equipped with Crosby Straightpoint load monitoring technology, available directly from the factory.
“The Crosby G-2160 Wide Body Shackle is a game changer for those working in heavy lifting environments. We are excited to bring this innovative product to market and look forward to helping improve safety on job sites, while saving end users both time and investment on slings,” Fernanda Zamorano, Global Product Manager, said.
The G-2160 continues Crosby’s legacy of industry-leading products, with wide body shackles first introduced in 1978 and used globally across construction, oil and gas and industrial sectors.
