LockJaw® Synthetic Lifting Shackle, 16,000 lbs WLL, 3.5" Working Diameter

The LockJaw® Synthetic Shackle is a lifting‑rated, high‑strength soft shackle engineered to replace traditional steel screw‑pin shackles in overhead lifting and critical rigging applications. It is made in the USA and rated at a 16,000‑lb working load limit with a 3.5" working diameter. It delivers heavy‑duty lifting capacity in a compact, lightweight format that fits into your Fusion Tools recovery and lifting system.

Key specifications

• Lifting‑rated synthetic soft shackle with a 16,000‑lb working load limit (8 tons)
• 80,000‑lb breaking strength
• 3.5" working diameter for compact, controlled connections to hooks, pad eyes, lifting lugs, and structural members
• 9/16" nominal chain size equivalent
• Rope body made from high‑strength HMPE synthetic fiber, with an aluminum locking component
• Meets or exceeds ASME B30.26 standards for rigging hardware used in lifting operations

Design and safety

• Flexible body opens fully, so it can reach hard‑to‑access anchor points in tight or complex spaces
• Patented LockJaw lock is permanently attached, so it can’t be lost the way steel shackle pins often are, and it keeps the shackle securely closed under load
• Non‑marring construction protects painted, finished, and delicate surfaces
• FOD‑free design suits aerospace and cleanroom environments
• Rust‑proof, freeze‑proof, and UV‑resistant fibers stand up to harsh outdoor conditions
• Easy to inspect before every lift
• Much lighter than comparable steel shackles, which reduces operator fatigue and the risk of dropped hardware

Made in the USA

• Patented design, manufactured in the USA
• Built for rigging, industrial, aerospace, and cleanroom lifting applications
