C Type Quick Release Shackle
Gostern C Type Quick Release Shackle is a specialized connecting component designed for fast, tool-free connection between pear-shaped rope sockets (wire rope terminations) and lifting chains, grabs, or other below-the-hook lifting devices.The C-shaped forged body with a spring-loaded locking mechanism allows operators to connect or release the link within seconds without wrenches or special tools, significantly reducing downtime during lifting operations.Manufactured in compliance with EN 1677-1 and JT/T246-1995 standards. Made from high-strength forged alloy steel with heat treatment for optimal strength and toughness. Safety factor: 4:1 (MBL = WLL × 4).Available with bituminous paint, hot-dip galvanized, or epoxy coating for corrosion protection. CE marked and Class Society Certification available (ABS, DNV, LR, CCS).
This Quick Release Link is used as the connecting fitting between pear-shaped sockets (rope terminations) and lifting chains, allowing the entire lifting assembly to pass smoothly through wide groove sheaves, maximizing effective lifting height.It is widely used for quick changeover of grabs, hooks, spreaders, and other lifting tools in port cargo handling, offshore platform lifting, shipboard cranes, and bridge-type grab crane operations. Available in SWL from 1.5T to 45T with dimensions matching industry standard numbering (1#-17#).
Typical Configuration: Wire rope → Pear socket (rope termination) → C-Type Quick Release Shackle → Lifting chain → Grab / Lifting tool.
Key Features:
Tool-Free Operation: No wrenches or special tools — lock and release by hand.
C-Shaped Body Design: Allows easy insertion of pear socket and chain end.
Spring-Loaded Locking Mechanism: Secure engagement with visual indication of locked position.
High-Strength Alloy Steel: Forged construction with heat treatment for optimal strength and toughness.
Corrosion Protection: Available in painted or hot-dip galvanized finish for marine environment.
Passes Through Sheaves: Compact design enables use with wide groove pulleys to maximize lifting height
